Jade Goody's widow Jack Tweed ran from the showers in the prison where he is serving an assault sentence because he bumped into gay star Boy George.
Tweed (21), was stunned when he encountered the Culture Club star, whose real name is George O'Dowd, and just turned and fled when he kept meeting him naked, according to reports.
The incidents are said to have happened at Edmunds Hill jail in Suffolk, a prison that is deemed 'cushy' in comparison to others.
Tweed is serving a 12-week sentence for assaulting a cab driver with a golf club, while Boy George is locked up for 15 months for falsely imprisoning a male escort, shackling him to a bed and beating him with a chain.
"Jack isn't exactly comfortable when it comes to getting attention from other men," said one pal.
"And as soon as he saw Boy George standing there naked having a wash he was gobsmacked," they added.
NAKED
"He grew up listening to George's records but never imagined the first time he met him he would be stark naked in a prison shower offering to share the soap with him," said the pal.
Sources say Tweed, whose wife Jade Goody died from cervical cancer last month, went to the showers to find Boy George already there and drying himself.
There was a bit of eye contact before Jack fled, according to sources.
The third time he went to the changing room Boy George was getting undres-sed and ready for a shower.
"Jack knew what George was in prison for and didn't want to take any chances. He said he wanted to avoid having to pass the soap," said a source.
George (47) is said to be a very imposing figure in the prison, standing 6ft tall.
Jack was moved to Edmunds Hill from a tougher jail in Chelmsford.
Meanwhile, friends say he is worried about falling in love again in the future as he fears there will be a public backlash against him.
