Boy George became known for his chanting in the jungle, but it certainly wasn’t everyone’s favourite thing to wake up to each morning.

The Karma Chameleon hitmaker joined the likes of Jill Scott, Sue Cleaver, and Owen Warner for the 2022 series of I’m A Celebrity, which saw Ant and Dec’s reality series head back to Australia for the first time in two years.

George became the fourth star to be eliminated from the show and he’s already loving life on the outside – and Mike Tindall is also enjoying the peace and quiet.

Two days after the eighties icon’s exit, the celebs were able to finally hear the birds tweeting following the sunrise, rather than George’s meditating.

Waking up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed on Wednesday morning, Mike said: ‘Wasn’t it great to hear the birds this morning, instead of, “Om, sup…huh…”,’ mimicking George’s rituals.

In the Bush Telegraph, Mike added: ‘I did miss Boy George this morning, but it was nice to hear the birds for once. So, every cloud.’

However, the former rugby pro has been keeping his fellow campmates awake as well, through no fault of his own.

In fact, Corrie star Sue – whom Mike dubbed his ‘camp wife’ – actually ended up refusing to sleep next to him in the RV because of his loud snoring.

Sue said in the Bush Telegraph: ‘A different sleep in the RV, the bed was comfy but… I heard Mike snoring.’

After trying to get him to stop snoring in the night, Sue added: ‘Who’d have thought we’d have got so intimate, so quickly.’

The Coronation Street legend was heard in the night whispering: ‘Mike, roll over! Mike! Roll over.’

Viewers, of course, were hysterical, and questioning how on Earth Zara – Mike’s wife – tolerates his snoring.

But, what Mike has lacked in sleep etiquette, he has made up for with his ability to bring home the bacon (well, eel, or crocodile feet).

The sporting star has been a true boss when it comes to Bushtucker trials, from chugging blended pig’s penis to showing no fear while covered in green ants.

He’s also proven a hit with viewers, although, it’s Lioness Jill who bookies are tipping for the win.

Ladbrokes estimates Jill will be crowned Queen of the Jungle (4/7), followed by Owen (7/2), while Mike’s odds are 6/1.

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! continues tomorrow night on ITV.
