Producers of The Voice UK stopped rolling cameras immediately after judge Boy George claimed he has carnal knowledge of Minnesota royal Prince.
George and fellow judge, Paloma Faith, were swapping deets about artists they’ve worked with. Their convo went a little something like this:
Boy George: “I have duetted with some of the greatest soul singers in history including Luther Vandross and Smokey Robinson.”
Paloma: “Well OK, if we’re throwing big soul names out there I’ve performed with Prince.”
Boy George: “Forget that, darling, I’ve slept with Prince.”
Cool! Audience members revealed to the The Sun, what happened after they stopped filming.
“The crowd went absolutely wild because they thought they had just witnessed a massive celebrity exclusive. The other judges thought it was brilliant, particularly Will.i.am. He kept coming up to Boy George and high-fiving him, which just set the crowd off again.
Production staff had to come up on stage and speak to them. After that Boy George started backtracking saying he hadn’t really slept with Prince and that in reality, he just had his poster on his wall. But as far as the crowd were concerned the cat was already out of the bag.”
That rules. This information, true or not, isn’t entirely surprising. I love that Will.i.am was so thrilled, that’s truly adorable. I doubt we’ll hear any comment from Prince on the matter, since I’m not sure he knows what The Voice is, nor do I think he would care. Does Prince care about seeming straight? I feel like he’d just shrug and consider it bonus mystique.
