Boy George to host Play UK chat show

80s singer Boy George is to front a new chat show for Play UK, it has emerged.

Icons will be produced by Wise Buddah Television for the channel, and will feature the star interviewing "colourful characters from the past 30 years", according to the Media Guardian.

A spokeswoman for WBT said: "George is not just interested in gay icons. He will be talking to people he already knows and others he wants to know more about. They will all be flamboyant and colourful people."

The ten-part series will air from December.

Also in the works from the production company is Spin Cities, a 10-part travel series for clubbers, fronted by Radio 1's Judge Jules.
