Boy George\u2019s quiche was a hit when he dished it out to his fellow inmates<\/p>\n
The Culture Club singer, 62, born George O\u2019Dowd, was jailed in 2009 for four months for handcuffing model and male escort Audun Carlsen to a radiator and beating him with a metal chain, and has now revealed his kitchen skills behind bars were a smash behind bars.<\/p>\n
He says in his new memoir \u2018Karma: \u201cOne of my quiches scored high praise. \u201cMaking good vegetarian curries came easy, even with the animal-food vegetables they supplied.<\/p>\n
\u201cThose carrots had an attitude and the knives weren\u2019t sharp enough to take them on.\u201d<\/p>\n
George added: \u201cA guy in the kitchen said: \u2018Who made this quiche?\u2019<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI told him it was me. \u2018(Gay) man make a nice quiche, you know,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cIt\u2019s hard to be offended when someone is being so poetic.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nGeorge added his kitchen job was \u201ccoveted\u201d as any criminals \u201cknown for throwing around knives\u201d would have struggled to land the work.<\/p>\n
\nIn December 2008, George was convicted of assault and false imprisonment for an incident that occurred in April the previous year.<\/p>\n
\nSnaresbrook Crown Court in London heard the singer had handcuffed Norwegian Audun to a wall fixture then beat him with a metal chain.<\/p>\n
\nAudun had visited George to act as a model in a photography session, and George was sentenced to 15 months in jail on January 16, 2009.<\/p>\n
\nHe was initially sent to HM Prison Pentonville, in London, before being transferred to HM Prison Highpoint North in Suffolk.<\/p>\n
\nGeorge was released early after four months on May 11, 2009, but was subject to a strict curfew and required to wear an ankle monitor for the remainder of his sentence.<\/p>\n
\nIn 2009, the singer was set to appear in the final series of Channel 4\u2019s \u2018Celebrity Big Brother\u2019 but was blocked by the Probation Service, who said that his participation would pose \u201ca high level of risk\u201d to the service and the money he would earn could undermine public confidence in the criminal justice system.<\/p>\n
\nDuring an appearance on \u2018Piers Morgan\u2019s Life Stories\u2019 in 2017, George apologised for what he had done, saying: \u201cI was prosecuted on my own evidence. I sent myself to prison.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nHe also blamed his assault on a \u201cpsychotic episode\u201d, saying: \u201cI stopped him from leaving my apartment. It\u2019s terrible what I did, and I\u2019m ashamed and sorry for what I did. It was wrong.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
