Boy George on his new  talent show, his Finglas family, and his work ethic 

The music legend is one of the judges on The Big Deal on Virgin Media, and also talks about his love of Ireland, and the progress that has been made on gay rights and other issues  

Boy George is one of the judges on The Big Deal on Virgin Media One. 

Boy George is sitting in a lounge in Dublin’s 3Arena, trademark oversized grey felt hat, dark suit embellished with the peace symbol, the yin and yang symbol and emblazoned with the word 'LOVE' down the back in coloured thread.

Boy George, given name George Alan O’Dowd, celebrated his 60th birthday in June. He has battled drug addiction and spent time in prison after a conviction for assault and false imprisonment, but here the pop icon now seems fairly confident and content again.
