He speaks openly about subjects such as homosexuality, the Beatles and the Labour Party. His mother re-lives his rise to fame and the worst days of his drug abuse.
The cameras then follow Boy George out to tbiza to witness him in his role as an International DJ.

The glamorous Marilyn swigs on a bottle of tequila while spilling the beans on his and George's stormy relationship. Philip, on the other hand, bitches his way through the documentary, turning up to supper dressed in a Britannia number accessorised with shaving foam.
Gimme A Freak airs on February 3rd at 10pm on BBC Choice
