Singer Boy George will not be appearing on Celebrity Big Brother after a High Court judge dismissed his appeal.
The star, real name George O'Dowd, was barred from going on the show when the Probation Service said his appearance would undermine public confidence in the justice system.
George, 48, appealed to the High Court to quash the decision but this was turned down by a judge, Press Association reports.
He is on probation after being released from jail in May. He had been found guilty of falsely imprisoning and assaulting male prostitute Audun Carlsen, 29, and served four months of his 15 month sentence.
