Boy George thinks he's the best gay in the village

Sparks flew when the former Culture Club singer asked Walliams about his comedy partner Matt Lucas's nuptials.

Boy George, 45, a special guest on Channel 4's The Big Fat Quiz Of The Year, asked Walliams: "How was Matt's wedding?"

Stony-faced Walliams, 35, replied: "Very nice thank you. It was great you weren't there."

Russell Brand, 31, who was also on the show, told the audience: "There's a bad atmosphere here now and I want to go home."

Walliams defended his actions following the recording, saying: "There's a background to this. I wouldn't be mean for the sake of it."

Brand explained later: "Apparently Boy George thinks that Matt Lucas isn't a good example of homosexuality."

The Big Fat Quiz Of The Year is hosted by Jimmy Carr and also features Rob Brydon, Cat Deeley and Jonathan Ross.

It is broadcast next Wednesday at 9pm on Channel 4.
