Boy George says Princess Diana hailed him a “true survivor” after he recovered from heroin abuse. The Culture Club singer, 62, was exposed as a user of the drug in the mid-1980s and his addiction problems came to haunt him again in 2005 when he was arrested in New York on suspicion of possessing cocaine.

He said in ‘Karma: My Autobiography’: “I met Princess Diana twice. The first was at the Hippodrome at a charity even...

Wayne Sleep says his friend Princess Diana had a "schoolboy" sense of humour. The 72-year-old choreographer was the late princess' dance teacher, and he admits that her "charismatic" nature came through in her routines. He shared: "We had the same schoolboy humour. I was her sort-of jester, in a way, but we did get on incredibly well. We had something that clicked. "She had natural style. She could do the high kick, she could do a pirouette and she had lovely swinging hips. "She had that thing called charisma. She was charismatic and even when she spoke with that very quiet voice, it was somet...

Princess Diana would still have been a keen dancer at the age of 60, Wayne Sleep has claimed. The British dancer - who studied at the Royal Ballet School - famously performed a routine with Princess Diana at the Royal Opera House in London to the Billy Joel song 'Uptown Girl' during the Friends of Covent Garden show in 1985. Sleep, 72, is certain that Diana - who tragically died in August 1997 in a Paris car crash at the age of 36 - would have still been a passionate dancer if she made it to her 60th birthday, which would have been on July 1 this year.
