Celebrity Big Brother viewers will see Mickey Rourke joke "shall I pack now?" after learning he has been put up for the first eviction. The Hollywood star then refuses to nominate anybody and has to be reminded of the rules by Big Brother. In the opening moments of the episode, which will air on Thursday, housemates are gathered on the sofa and learn about the three powers handed out in secret.
They learn that singer JoJo Siwa used her special "killer nomination" power to ensure that Rourke is in the frame to be the first person evicted from the show on Friday's episode. “Shall I pack now?” says Rourke immediately before Big Brother chimes in to say: “Relax Mickey, stay where you are. Mickey will face the first public vote.
" Housemates are then told that Olympic athlete Daley Thompson is immune to eviction after Rourke used his own special "guardian angel" power to protect him. Love Island star Chris Hughes is also immune after winning a power of his own. The time then comes for the housemates to make their first nominations.
When Rourke's time comes, he states: "I choose not to evict anyone. I refuse to do that. I will not pick two people to toss off the shelf.
" Big Brother then steps in to remind Rourke of the show's rules, which stipulate that he must take part in the nominations process.

When we talk he hasn’t asked me anything about me," says Bell. Fabricant, meanwhile, nominates EastEnders legend Patsy Palmer for making a comment about his infamous hair. He says: "She asked me something about ‘why do I wear a wig?’ And I’m not saying it is a wig actually.
But what I am saying is that I found it slightly awkward being asked about it. I just don’t like my hair being raised." There has already been plenty of controversy on this series of Big Brother, with Rourke officially warned by the show's producers for homophobic language aimed at Siwa.
This has led to calls from some to have him forcibly removed from the house. However, he may ultimately be kicked out by the audience when he faces the public vote for the first eviction during Friday's episode. It has been an explosive first week for the new series of CBB, but it may have another twist or two in store.
Celebrity Big Brother continues at 9pm on Thursday 10 April on ITV1..
