A man who was chained to the wall and kept prisoner in Boy George's flat has slammed his casting in I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!
"Had I been a woman and he did what he did, he would never have been given the platform," Mr Carlsen told the Mirror."I think giving him this sort of platform and a record fee sends the wrong message to survivors of violence and abuse and is plain wrong."
At the time, Boy George was convicted of assault and false imprisonment, sentenced to 15 months in prison.A representative for Boy George told MailOnline: "George went to jail for four months willingly after openly confessing to false imprisonment during a psychotic break 15 years ago whilst in the midst of a well documented drug problem."He apologised publicly on Piers Morgan’s Life Stories four years ago and we are very proud of him for his rehabilitation.
