Making the confession in the Bush Telegraph, he said: "I had a banana last night and then obviously Sue left this morning and there was an extra one, so I took it and I ate it and I hid the skin in my pocket so I wouldn’t get caught. Ha ha ha!
Jill Scott and Owen Warner were quick to notice the missing fruit, and Hollyoaks star questioned the pop icon, asking: "You had one last night and one this morning?"
George replied: "Mmm, I thought it was Sue's."
"Without asking?" responded Owen, to which George said: "Says the man who has had more food than anyone in this camp."

In the Bush Telegraph, the actor seemed a little irked. "So last night the bananas we got for dessert we saved for breakfast this morning. There was nine. There's one short. George confesses, he's had Sue's banana. Don't steal food from me!"
Viewers were quick to comment on the moment, which some dubbed as "banana-gate", suggesting that if someone else had taken the banana, George may not have seen the funny side.
One person wrote: "Boy George laughing about stealing bananas as if he wouldn't be raging and making a scene if anyone else did," while another added: "Not George stealing a banana and then trying to turn act like Owens had loads of food?? Owen is out here STARVING!! If anyone else had taken his banana he'd have kicked off big time."
A third fan commented: "Imagine if someone else had that banana Boy George wouldn't be singing would he?"

A third viewer commented: "I KNOW Boy George isn't coming after Owen after he had TWO bananas?? I refuse to let him come after my boy Owen."
