London, Nov 20 Brit singer Boy George is set to join celebs in the Celebrity Big Brother house, it has emerged.

George, 48, had turned down offers to appear on the show in the past, but he has now decided to give it a go and it is rumoured he has bagged a 200,000 pounds fee for agreeing to sign.

"Boy George will be explosive - get ready for Celebrity Big Brother to finish with a bang," the Daily Star quoted a source as saying.

The former Culture Club singer also revealed he is the happiest he has ever been and his stint in jail made him change for the better.
