Boy George's mother threatened to "disown" him if he went on 'Celebrity Big Brother'. The Culture Club star admitted he once considered appearing on the reality show and heading into the famous house, but his mum Dinah O'Dowd quickly shut down any possibility of it actually happening.

Appearing on ITV's 'The Jonathan Ross Show', he says: "I don’t really like reality. I spent the last years avoiding it a lot. "I think you have to be careful what you do on TV.

When I was for a minute thinking about going on 'Big Brother', my mum said, ‘If you go on that show I will disown you. ’ So I stopped. ” Although many stars do appear on reality shows and open up about their personal lives, Boy George insisted it's also necessary to "have some privacy"..
