During a heart to heart with Kim Woodburn on last nights show George said:
“Here’s the thing, I’m going to tell you what I’m thinking, they're people who are starting careers, I’m at point where this is fun to do, I’m not going to go head to head, so I’m thinking about leaving, pulling out tomorrow.
“I can help the odds if I step out. At my age, the time I have with people I care about is important, Barbara is here and we have no time together I don’t see purpose for me to stay. I want you to know that.”
George is the third celebrity to quit the show following in the footsteps of Camilla Dallerup and Katie Price who both walked.
