Kicking off the chat about his upcoming tour and film, Lorraine said: "We do have Boy George here. He also turned 60 last week, what is going on?"

Boy George also revealed how he spent his 60th saying he was in Ireland to film something for TV but made sure to spend some time with family and friends.

He said it was "very quiet" which he liked as "everyone was pressuring me to have a massive party which felt very inappropriate".

Boy George said: "I actually ended up having a lovely birthday because I was surrounded by people I love and felt comfortable."

Lorraine then asked the star if he was in his prime, to which he explained he has been able to get back to his craft of songwriting during the lockdown as he couldn't tour.

Lorraine continues on ITV tomorrow at 9am.
