Boy George accused the former Health Secretary of giving him "funny looks" after admitting he finds him "slimy" and "slippery".
He even told Matt that the sight of other campmates being "too nice" to him was 'getting on his t**s'.
Boy George, real name George O'Dowd, found his temper flaring after Matt failed to see the funny side of a joke he had made about 'chocolate'.
He ranted to Seann Walsh at the I'm A Celebrity creek: “Can’t stand Matt. I have tried to like him and I’ve failed.

"I find him slimy, I find him slippery. I find him just… I made a joke about chocolate. He just looked at me like…
"I wanted to say, ‘What are you looking at? Don’t you look at me like that.’”
Boy George added: “I’ve tried to separate what I feel about him from who he is as a person, but I can’t.”
With his ears likely burning, Matt then appeared at the creek - and Boy George didn't hold back.

“I was making a joke about the chocolate. For god’s sake I was like… let’s have a bit of fun. I didn’t like the way you looked at me. I made a joke and you were like…” he told Matt.
The MP replied: “Oh no, I wasn’t… that wasn’t my intention.”
But Boy George said: "Well that's what it felt like."
Matt apologised: “Ok, I’m really sorry about that. That wasn’t my intention at all.”
However, Boy George didn't stop there: "You do it a lot actually," he told him. Matt apologised again for making the 80s pop star feel uncomfortable.
Boy George told Matt: “I just feel everyone’s trying to be too nice. It’s getting on my t**s. I don’t want arguments… I’m just like come on guys, have a laugh.”

He added: “I’ll be honest with you, I think your presence has made everyone very compliant.”
Matt told Boy George that he thought "compliant" was a "funny" word to use.
But he went on: “I have been hating on you, I have to be honest. I sometimes feel like you don’t say what you mean and you’re not particularly direct.”
Matt insisted he was 'just being him', with George saying he was being himself, too.
Telling Matt he finds him "confusing", Boy George said: “I’m trying to separate you as a human being and you as a politician and I’m struggling with it. We don’t share the same politics."
He added: “I am struggling a little bit with you. That’s not your problem, that’s my problem. I apologise because I was really sl**ging you off a minute ago."
Matt insisted he'd rather Boy George was honest with him, before saying he enjoys the singer's company.
