The spokesperson announced: "Mickey Rourke has agreed to leave the Celebrity Big Brother House this evening following a discussion with Big Brother regarding further use of inappropriate language and instances of unacceptable behaviour." This departure follows multiple warnings from the Celebrity Big Brother team about his conduct within the house, which included making homophobic remarks and fat-shaming comments directed at other contestants. Before even stepping foot into the Big Brother abode, he sparked controversy among viewers who accused him of giving host AJ Odudu an uncomfortable look.
Once inside the show, he targeted JoJo Siwa with homophobic comments, boldly claiming he could 'turn her straight'. In a conversation, he inquired JoJo: "Where's the smoke room? Where's the cigarette room?" and then probed: "Do you like girls or boys?", reports the Mirror . "Me? Girls.
My partner is non-binary," responded JoJo, to which Mickey retorted: "If I stay longer than four days, you won't be gay anymore." JoJo assured him: "I can guarantee I'll still be gay and I'll still be in a very happy relationship." While in the garden, Mickey questioned Chris about the eviction process.
He told the Love Island alum: "I'm going to vote the lesbian out real quick." JoJo, overhearing the comment, confronted him: "That's homophobic, if that was your reasoning." While chatting about needing a cigarette, he blurted out: "I need a fag," and then, nodding towards JoJo, added: "I'm not talking to you.
" At this point, Chris Hughes stepped in, cautioning: "Mickey, you can't say that." Big Brother didn't take the comment lightly and delivered a serious reprimand in the Diary Room, reminding him: "Mickey before you entered the Big Brother house the rules regarding unacceptable language and behaviour were explained to you ..
. Mickey, do you understand how this language could be offensive to your Housemates or the viewing public?" Mickey responded with a hesitant acknowledgment, "Yeah I think so. If I was saying it in a nasty kind of way or if I truly meant it," prompting Big Brother to assert firmly: "Mickey, Big Brother thinks your language was offensive and unacceptable.
.." Consequently, Big Brother issued a formal warning: "As a result, Big Brother is giving you a formal warning.
Further language or behaviour of this nature could lead to you being removed from the Big Brother house. Mickey, do you understand?" To which Mickey replied contritely: "Yes I do. It's some serious stuff.
.. I apologise.
I don't have dishonourable intentions - I'm just talking smack you know. I wasn't taking it all so serious. I didn't mean in it any bad intentions and if I did, sorry.
" In another incident, while discussing Donna Preston's skincare routine, Mickey suggested she might "probably be better off running around the block for ten minutes" instead of expecting results from her LED face mask. And in a recent episode, Patsy Palmer was reduced to tears after Mickey made disparaging remarks about her culinary skills. Celebrity Big Brother continues Sunday on ITV and ITVX.
