He first confided in Scarlette Douglas about the emotional reason he feels uncomfortable about being on the show with the former health secretary, revealing it came down to his mum Dinah O'Dowd's battle with Covid and his inability to be there for her in hospital.

Boy George said: “You know, beginning of the pandemic my mum was in hospital. I wasn’t allowed to see her. I thought she was going to die.

"I was tweeting Greenwich hospital going, ‘Please look after my mum.’ I used my name, I was like ‘Please look after my mum.’

"And they did, she was fine… I feel like, I don’t want to be sitting here like I’m having fun with him.
