Boy George has been arrested after allegedly imprisoning a male escort in his apartment.

Auden Carlsen fled the singer's East London home in terror, claiming George and another man had grabbed him and chained him to a wall.

Carlsen - who claims he had agreed to pose for photos for the "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me" singer and was not working as an escort - said: "I walked into the bedroom wearing my white underpants and a T-shirt and then I was jumped on by another man.

"George handcuffed me to a hook by the bed as they held me down."

Carlsen then claims the other man left the room before the former Culture Club singer produced a box of sex toys and told him: "Now you'll get what you deserve."

The 28-year-old Norwegian - who met George on the gay dating website Gaydar - says he pulled the hook from the wall and fled in his underwear before calling the police from a nearby newsagent's on Saturday morning.

George was later arrested and taken to a police station. He was then bailed by detectives probing assault and false imprisonment allegations.

The 45-year-old singer - who was unavailable for comment - was given community service in New York last year after a sizable amount of cocaine was found in his apartment.

Officers had originally been called to George's home after he claimed a rent boy had tried to steal from him.

Boy George is a walking anti-drug poster. Intervention, anyone?
