George was holding a drink in his hand one minute, and the next raised his arm aloft and threw the beverage behind him.

Many branded the move as 'attention seeking' on social media and felt like the pop star was trying to steal the spotlight for himself.

The moment came just minutes after Jill was crowned the winner, beating Owen Warner into second place.

One tweeted: "Boy George throwing his drink over himself cuz the attention is on somebody else."

A second pointed out: "Boy George wanting the spotlight by chucking his drink."

And a third echoed the sentiment: "Boy George trying to make it about him by chucking his drink?"

A fourth, meanwhile, claimed George was trying to hog the limelight in a different way.

They posted: "All the Celebs were looking at Jill… apart from Boy George, he was looking for the camera pointing at him. Urgh. Well done Jill"

It comes as reports suggested earlier in the week that George planned to snub the final.

He allegedly wanted to leave Australia as soon as he was voted out of the camp and fly back to Britain.

Boy George, 61, was refused permission to return to the UK from Down Under after expressing he is "desperate" to get back, the  claims.

The Karma Chameleon star - who snubbed ITV's post-exit interviews after I'm A Celeb - wanted to skip out on the finale.

Sources have said that despite his pleas, George was contractually obliged to remain in Australia until the show ended.

An insider told the publication after George' exit: "He wanted to go home immediately, he doesn't want to hang around.
