Boy George To Set Tasks For Celebs In BB House

We guess this is a compromise?

After being denied by the courts to appear as a cast member on the UK’s Celebrity Big Brother, Boy George is taking on a different role in the house.

The Big Brother bosses are allowing Boy George a cameo appearance as he will be setting some of the tasks for the housemates.

The show premiered last night with 11 housemates as the 12th was reserved for George. A source reveals:

“Bosses had big plans for George and they’re not willing to abandon them lightly. They were keen to see how he and Alex [Reid, Jordan‘s ex-boyfriend] got on. It would have been interesting to see if they dressed up together. He’s a great character and we’re thrilled he’s keen to be involved.”

Boy George hinted at this on his Twitter last week tweeting:

“I still may do something on CBB, I just won’t be in it.”

But is he getting paid? Because we thought that was the problem the courts had with the whole thing?

Did U tune in last night?
