I’m A Celebrity… Boy George’s unexpected Wayne Rooney inspiration has people in hysterics

Boy George has revealed he has an unexpected source of inspiration – Wayne Rooney. The pop star said he had a hair transplant after being inspired by the former Manchester United and England fooballer .

Asked by Jill Scott where he had the procedure done, he jokingly replied: “At the hair transplant shop.” He added: “I was bald. Do you know what made me do it? Wayne Rooney.”

Responding to laughs from his campmates, he said: “Why do you think that is funny? It’s the truth. I saw Wayne Rooney’s hair and I thought I could actually get my hair done.”

Viewers were just as amused – and surprised – as Boy George’s campmates. “I never thought I’d see the day George Boy was inspired by Wayne Rooney,” tweeted @veefeeley.

@herbshyc tweeted: “Boy George being inspired by Wayne Rooney to get a hair transplant is everything I’ve been waiting for.”

And @ulrofcork said: “BoyGeorge saying ‘Wayne Rooney made me do it’ wasn’t on my #ImACeleb bingo card and even if it was it wouldn’t have been about hair transplants.”
