I’m a Celebrity’s Boy George and Scarlette Douglas seen paddling on dinghy to meet co-stars

Boy George and Scarlette swapped the yacht for a dinghy

I’M a Celebrity stars Boy George and Scarlette Douglas were seen leaving luxury behind as they paddled to an island during the show launch.

The new series kicked off on Sunday night and Boy George, 61, and A Place in the Sun’s Scarlette, 32, went from a luxury yacht to the tiny inflatable to meet their co-stars.

Singer George was unmissable in a brightly printed co-ordinating set while Scarlette looked like she was heading off on holiday in a lime green jumpsuit.

Donning orange life jackets, George and Scarlette appeared to get stuck in and were seen with a paddle each as they made the journey.

Despite the rough swap, the pair safely made it to Stradbroke Island and were met by Chris Moyles and Olivia Attwood.

George and Scarlette were previously seen sailing onto the show alongside rugby royal Mike Tindall and soap hunk Owen Warner.

Some of their fellow I’m a Celeb stars were previously snapped taking part in the terrifying Walk The Plank challenge – with one of them pulling out.

The Sun exclusively revealed that Gogglebox’s Babatunde Aléshé pulled out of the vertigo-inducing task after 45 minutes of deliberation.

Babatunde, 36, was joined by Lionesses star Jill Scott and newsreader Charlene White for the challenge – which sees the celebrities walking out on planks suspended from a 32-storey building overlooking the Gold Coast.

The trial, which has been renamed The Ledge on this year’s series, was hampered by windy conditions.

An onlooker said: “Babatunde was really struggling during The Ledge and everyone felt for him.

“It truly is a terrifying task and no one can grasp the scale of it until you are there.”
