Boy George has unlikely connection to iconic Big Brother star

From Digital Spy

In the list of celebrities you never thought would have an unexpected connection, Boy George and Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace definitely top the lot.

In fact, the pair have a link that goes back to when the Big Brother star was a baby, it turns out, with the former Voice UK coach a regular visitor to the house that Aisleyne grew up in.

And if you needed proof, George has posted a picture of himself as a teenager cradling a baby Aisleyne. How adorable.

The Big Brother star responded on Twitter: "Omg thank you for being my coolest kindest 'uncle' back then."

George was born in 1961, while Aisleyne was born in 1978, making the former 17 years old at the time that the picture was taken.

The reality star detailed how her mother knew George in her 2009 autobiography Aisleyne: Surviving Guns, Gangs and Glamour.

"Mum had met this tall, big-nosed Irish guy called George O'Dowd at the Tottenham. They were absolute bezzy mates for ages – way before the rest of the world met Boy George," she wrote.

"She told me he would put me on his knee and sing to me. He would change my nappies, do my hair and dress me up like a little punk doll...

"Then there was Siouxsie Sioux and Poly Styrene and all the other singers and Musicians... Johnny Rotten and some of the others in the Sex Pistols crew were in Mum's gang as well."
