Boy George has claimed British Airways made first class passengers wait on “steps” while Victoria Beckham was thrown off the plane.

In 2016, George banned solo singer Vangelis from performing the band’s 1997 hit Viva Forever, before launching a seething assault on the girl-power five-piece.

“Girl power. Yeah, and what the hell is girl power? Fuck the Spice Girls.
“They are a cynical corporate creation and proof that a good stylist is more important than a good tune.”
