I’M A Celeb host Ant McPartlin was shown telling Boy George he’s in line for a huge payday after the jungle.
The presenter was filmed talking to the singer after the show came to an end on Sunday night.

Ant McPartlin told the singer he was in line for a big payday
George had been filming but given his haphazard camerawork – the phone wasn’t even properly pointed at the pair – Ant may not have known he was being taped.
He told him: “Well done. You’re going to get a lot of PRS from us playing Karma Chameleon. I mean, a lot. Whenever we could.”
Boy George, 61, replied: “Oh amazing. Thank you so much.”
PRS is the copyright collective that makes sure artists like George get paid when their music is used.
Ant wasn’t exaggerating about how often it was played either- with the Culture Club hit being aired most nights.
He and Dec Donnelly frequently danced to it with harmonicas, which Ant threw into the jungle when George was evicted.
The track was even performed by the entire cast when they took a trip to the Jungle Arms pub.
Some viewers were left with the song in their heads even after the public voted Boy George off the show.
One wrote: “Never thought I’d consistently have karma chameleon in my head every night after #ImACeleb.”
Another tweeted: “I’ve really missed the Karma Chameleon parodies since @BoyGeorge left.”
Boy George’s filming wasn’t the only unguarded moment captured in the moments after I’m A Celeb finished.
The scenes were being shot by a member of the crew in the wake of Jill Scott‘s victory and crowning as Queen of the Jungle.
They managed to film the stars’ real reactions as they reunited with Babatunde and Boy George climbing onto the stage next to the jungle throne.
Sue Cleaver and Owen Warner were seen deep in conversation in an emotional moment as Seann Walsh larked about with host Ant.
The moment was filmed as part of Ant and Dec’s Jungle Club series, which aired on Instagram after the main show on TV.
I’m a Celebrity’ Get Me Out Of Here! The Coming Out Show airs on Thursday 1st Dec at 9.15pm on ITV1 and the ITV Hub.
