I'm A Celeb star Boy George hits back at claim he 'snubbed' Babatunde with defiant snap

Boy George has hit back at claims he "snubbed" former campmate Babatunde Aléshé after he was voted off I'm A Celebrity on last night's episode.

The singer, 61, was absent when Babatunde, 36, arrived at the luxury hotel following his departure from the jungle, sparking rumours of a secret rift.

But the Karma Chameleon hitmaker slammed the rumours on Twitter this morning, sharing a selfie of himself and the comedian with the caption: "Snubbing [Babatunde] in the hotel bar!"

The pair appeared in high spirits as they celebrated their stint in the show from the comfort of the luxurious hotel.

Speculation first started when Boy George was not amongst the crowd at the hotel in Australia, which is said to have included Charlene White, 42, Scarlette Douglas, 35, and Sue Cleaver, 59 - who each left camp earlier in the series.

But Boy George had actually already reunited with Babatunde, having met him on the jungle bridge following the comedian's exit from the camp before they later met up in the hotel bar.

It comes as just six stars remain in camp, battling it out to be crowned King or Queen of the jungle.

During Babatunde's exit interview, the comedian soon had Ant and Dec in stitches as he spilled a glass of champagne over himself.

Babatunde told the Geordie duo he wanted Owen Warner to win the show, calling the actor his "closest friend" in camp.

The comedian also revealed he was surprised how different it was doing the show to watching it as a viewer, telling the pair: "Living in it is a whole different experience."
