Get Me Out Of Here! stars for not grilling Boy George about his past stint in prison. In the late 2000s, Boy George was convicted of assault and false imprisonment after he was found guilty of handcuffing Norwegian model and male escort Audun Carlsen to a wall fixture and beating him with a metal chain. The Karma Chameleon singer, 61, plead not guilty and was sentenced to 15 months imprisonment, with four of them being spent in prison. He was required to wear an ankle monitor and submit to a curfew for the remainder of his sentence. Good Morning Britain star Richard was wildly unimpressed with the lack of probing from Boy George's fellow campmates regarding the situation. He said to GMB co-presenter Susanna Reid: "He's not been questioned about it. He chained someone to a radiator for a very long time and beat them up." Boy George was jailed in 2009 (Image: ITV) Susanna kept things calm and said: "Well he denies the beating," to which Richard responded: "Well he was convicted and spent four months in prison and no one has mentioned it to him at all." He added: "I wonder if that's because they've forgotten it." Susanna reminded him that it happened 'more than 10 years ago'. "Yeah. He says it was a psychotic episode partly fuelled by drugs, that's his rationale," Richard added. Richard wondered why no one has asked him about it (Image: ITV) Audun, now 43, previously slammed I'm A Celeb for having Boy George on the reality show. "Had I been a woman and he did what he did, he would never have been given the platform," he told the Mirror. "It's hurtful that big organisations like ITV give him that platform. 'I think giving him this sort of platform and a record fee sends the wrong message to survivors of violence and abuse and is plain wrong.' Audun previously slammed the show for putting him on it (Image: Julian Hamilton/Sunday Mirror) Get all the biggest showbiz news straight into your inbox. Sign up for the free Mirror Sho){kind=link}
