The chubby former Culture Club lead singer, now sporting a crew cut, spent his first day in prison today.
Insiders told London’s The Sun that the pop star was “shaking like a leaf” before he entered the jail house, fearing he would be killed for being gay.
While in a court cell on Friday a fellow inmate said: “He kept sobbing, ‘I can’t go to jail, I’ll be killed’.”
The inmate said he was warned: “Don’t talk to (George), he’s a batty boy (homosexual).”
Another inmate claimed: “They’ve put him in a cell with a big Jamaican guy called "Dread" to protect him and there is always a guard close by.”
But the inmate added: “A celeb is a celeb in here. People love fame. Everyone remembers Culture Club.”
George, real name George O’Dowd, scoffed down microwaved fish and chips and mushy peas and sat in his cell writing on scraps of paper.
It’s a far cry from his head days in the ‘80s when the Do You Really Want To Hurt me singer commanded a superstar reception wherever he went.
George was jailed for shackling Norwegian Audun Carlsen, 29, to a hook at his flat in London before thrashing him with a chain.
