I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! fans have noticed some similarities between Scarlette Douglas and Boy George, while some think she may have been “copying” the singer following an incident that happened in camp.
Body language expert Inbaal Honigman has broken down both of their gestures and has given her professional verdict on why they both acted the way she did.
Boy George had a slight altercation with Loose Women presenter Charlene White after he dubbed her a “matriarch”.
However, when Scarlette later also had an issue with Charlene, some thought that she had copied Boy George and took to Twitter to comment.

One wrote: “Not Scarlette copying Boy George.”
Another noted that they thought Scarlette was “trying to be best pals with Boy George” in an attempt to “try and win more votes,” while one person said Boy George was “acting horrible” and Scarlette “was complaining despite literally helping her through a panic attack”.
Inbaal said: “We can see that even though Scarlette and George were both frustrated with Charlene taking charge of mealtimes, they each arrived at that frustration from a different place and they each expressed their frustration differently.”
On Boy George’s behaviour, Inbaal said: “In terms of initial feelings towards the situation, George is seen waiting to be given a job – he taps his lips with his fingers quickly and rhythmically.”

“This move covers his mouth, which shows that he’s trying to suppress what his lips want to say, so he’s almost ready to have the conversation. The rapid tapping shows frustration and anxiety. This is triggering something personal within him and soon enough he reveals what it is.”
Inbaal noted that he “doesn’t want to be seen as lazy” and held his hands up to Charlene to say that “he wasn’t hiding anything”.
The body language expert admitted that the move meant he had “taken responsibility for his own emotions” and “even explained how Charlene’s actions are in accordance with her astrology”.
However, Inbaal noticed Scarlette dealt with her feelings in a very different way.
She said: “Scarlette expresses her exasperation by looking up at the sky, in a gesture that means ‘this is impossible,’ and breathing loudly, which means she’s tired.”
“Her frustration is borne of feeling tired. Then she deals with the situation by whispering about Charlene behind her back.”
