Boy George calls Paloma Faith ‘extremely rude’ in awkward unearthed clip after her childhood bullying row with Natalie Cᴀssidy emerged

Boy George called Paloma Faith ‘extremely rude’ in an unearthed clip from their time on The Voice.    

The video has resurfaced amid EastEnders star Natalie Cᴀssidy’s claims that the singer bullied her when they were at school together.

And in 2016, Paloma had an explosive on-air argument with fellow The Voice judge Boy George.

The drama unfolded during former Liberty X star Kevin Simm audition, where Boy George told him: ‘There are a lot of big voices in the show. You sit and you think no one can be better than that, then suddenly someone sings. It’s just constant surprise.’

While the two were talking, Paloma pretended to be asleep and started snoring on the table in front of her, with an irritated George saying: ‘Excuse me, Palaver,’

She responded: ‘Is it finished, is it time for us to wake up?’

George hit back, saying: ‘That’s extremely rude. Very rude. Anyway, you’re amazing Kevin.’

He added that Kevin should pick him over Paloma as his coach as she, ‘doesn’t have a hit in America’.  

After Kevin picks Paloma, George whispers to judge Will.i.am, ‘I’m not happy’.

Paloma looked uncomfortable, and said to judge Ricky Wilson: ‘I’ve upset George’

When asked about the fallout on Lorraine while promoting the show, Paloma said: ‘Not a real fallout, it was a work fallout. We fell out over something specific but not in the world of reality.’

George added: ‘I don’t know Paloma well enough to know what the real fallout would be, but I don’t think I could cope with it if it was a proper fallout.’

It comes after Natalie thought back to her school days on her own podcast Life With Nat when her bad experience with Paloma came up.

EastEnders star Natalie, 42, and singer Paloma, 43, both attended Islington Green School, with Paloma in the year above Natalie.

Natalie claimed: ‘Paloma Faith, she bullied me at school. She went to Islington Green and was in the year above me. We’ve spoken about it and she has said sorry about that. Gutted.’

But in a twist to the tale, Paloma’s comments about her own torment at school have emerged.

Writing in a 2012 tweet, Paloma insisted her school days were far from easy, claiming: ‘Yes I got bullied at school. I had braces and before that, wonky teeth.’ 

Paloma, who has a degree in contemporary dance and once worked as a magician’s ᴀssistant, has previously called Islington Green ‘very, very rough,’ adding that ‘the police were there every day; there was a lot of violence.’

But in spite of classmate Natalie’s comments and the accusations of bullying, Paloma has called herself ‘a pacifist,’ explaining how her school’s ‘tough environment helped me develop a strong sense of self. I had to learn to stick to my guns and be stubborn.’

She has also spoken positively about her ‘incredible’ teachers, gushing in an interview with The Standard: ‘They were very encouraging to me. I was put in the Hackney Gazette because it was a failing school and I got all As at GCSE.’

She has pointed out though that whilst she was inspired by the creative nature of her school, she didn’t receive any formal music training, declaring: ‘I did it all myself. I had no famous parents, no stage school, no BRIT School.’

‘I didn’t have lessons, ever, I just copied records.’

After completing her A Levels at City and Islington College, Paloma went on to study for a degree in contemporary dance in Leeds before receiveing an MA in theatre directing at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design.

She juggled a huge array of part time jobs during her studies including as a sales ᴀssistant at Agent Provocateur, a singer in a burlesque cabaret and a magician’s ᴀssistant.
