GEORGE Michael kept up appearances in prison by treating himself to whitening toothpaste, toenail clippers and anti-dandruff shampoo.
The 47-year-old Careless Whisper singer was determined to look his best for fellow lags as receipts from the prison store show.
But George’s beauty regime did not extend to his diet, as his shopping list reveals he splashed out on comfort-eating snacks to cheer himself up.
The 47-year-old Careless Whisper singer was determined to look his best for fellow lags as receipts from the prison store show.
But George’s beauty regime did not extend to his diet, as his shopping list reveals he splashed out on comfort-eating snacks to cheer himself up.
During his four-week sentence, George managed to munch his way through nine packets of biscuits – including custard creams, chocolate HobNobs and digestives.
He was allowed the same spending money as all the other lags.Yet two of his receipts are marked “insufficient funds” – but prison insiders say the pop millionaire’s money worries were quickly sorted out.
Receipts from Highpoint prison, near Newmarket, Suffolk, showing George’s real name, Georgios Panayiotou, detail his tuck shop purchases. He spent £57.79 on three trips to the store, picking up 15 packets of instant noodles during his visits. And the star also stayed true to his Greek roots by ordering packets of traditional snack pitta bread.
One lag said: “We all thought he would be full of himself but he was spot-on and chatted to everyone in here. Everyone knew who he was but he just got on with it.”
Psychologist Judy James said George’s eating habits in jail was “classic comfort eating”.
Judy said: “He would have clung to a custard cream or HobNob like a liferaft.”
