Hollywood veteran Mickey Rourke has been removed from the Celebrity Big Brother following "further use of inappropriate language and unacceptable behaviour." A spokesperson for Celebrity Big Brother said: "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.” It is said after his incident with Jojo Siwa, where he used offensive and homophobic remarks, he was removed after he locked horns with Love Island's Chris Hughes during a task.
Although it is understood the incident didn’t become physical, it led to behaviour and language deemed threatening and aggressive, leading CBB bosses to remove Rourke. Let's delve into the controversial Celebrity Big Brother housemate's behaviour..
. ITV viewers labelled the Hollywood star's entrance onto the show as 'uncomfortable'. He made his debut on Monday night when hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best introduced this year's housemates to the iconic Celebrity Big Brother house, reports the Daily Star .
Mickey caused quite the stir as the last celeb to strut into the house, kicking things off with a rather intense moment. He seemed to give host AJ the eye as she greeted him, before getting a bit too handsy and touching her more than necessary. But it didn't stop there; Mickey got majorly sidetracked by the live crowd, trying to slap a high-five with everyone on his way to the house door.
The Rainmaker's leading man caused quite a stir when he got so wrapped up with his fans that AJ had to shove him into the house, and in a startling twist, he attempted to yank her inside as well. According to the Mirror, this sparked a tense moment. The altercation left viewers cringing, prompting them to flock to social media to express their concern for AJ.
One worriedly wrote: "Someone get some security for AJ from Mickey Rourke because what the hell was that? ? ? ?", while another remarked in alarm: "Mickey's entrance is the strangest entrance I think there's ever been on this show. Poor AJ." In another incident that raised eyebrows, Mickey found himself skating on thin ice due to his opinionated remarks on a fellow contestant's weight.
The Wrestler star was seen having a light-hearted exchange with comedian Donna Preston. Mickey noticed her lying on his bed with an LED face mask and casually inquired about its effectiveness. When Donna revealed she hadn't used the mask long enough to see results, Mickey couldn't help but joke, "You'd probably be better off running round the block for ten minutes.
" Trying to brush it off, Donna replied, acknowledging her own concerns: "I've got to try something. I'm getting a little turkey neck," which prompted Mickey to tersely add, "It comes with the territory." Confused, Donna probed further, asking if he meant life in general, to which Mickey responded affirmatively and concluded with the old adage, "It's like they say, you are what you eat.
" Donna was visibly shaken when Patsy Palmer intervened to back her, highlighting that she knew Donna followed a "really healthy" diet. After receiving a nod of confirmation from the EastEnders actress, Donna aired her confusion to fellow housemates Danny Beard and Ella Rae Wise later on. Attempting to brush it off with humour, she still couldn't mask her surprise at Mickey's "you are what you eat" jibe.
Danny injected some levity into the situation by jokingly suggesting Mickey must have thought Donna "were gonna lose half a f****** stone just by putting an LED mask on". Social media was ablaze with criticism directed at Mickey once again. One user on Twitter /X exclaimed: "Does Mickey have an issue with Donna? ? Is she 'too fat' for him? ?" Another jumped in with: "I just realised Mickey has been homophobic, said Patsy's cooking is s*** and called Donna fat all in THE FIRST DAY! ! ! Has he got his own bingo card he's trying to mark off? ? ? #CBB #CBBUK,", whilst a third expressed their indignation: "Erm is that Mickey fat shaming Donna? Jesus! #CBB".
JoJo Siwa was brought to tears following a startling homophobic outburst from Mickey. The actor stirred controversy again when he made a blatantly homophobic comment towards JoJo. During a discussion on the preceding night's show, he inquired of JoJo: "Where's the smoke room? Where's the cigarette room? ," then pressed on with: "Do you like girls or boys?".
"I'm into girls. My partner is non-binary," was JoJo's reply, at which point Mickey quipped: "If I stay longer than four days, you won't be gay anymore." Refusing to be intimidated, JoJo firmly told him: "I can guarantee I'll still be gay and I'll still be in a very happy relationship.
" As Mickey made his way out to the garden, he queried Love Island star Chris Hughes on whether they have a say in who is evicted. He confided in Chris: "I'm going to vote the lesbian out real quick." Upon hearing this, JoJo was swift to retort: "That's homophobic, if that was your reasoning.
" Chris intervened, warning Mickey, "You can't do that Mickey," though Mickey stood his ground, exclaiming: "I need a [cigarette]," with a pointed look at JoJo, indicating, "I'm not talking to you." Chris stepped in once more, firm in his stance: "Mickey, you can't say that. " Mickey attempted to deflect, "I know.
I was talking about a cigarette," despite JoJo being clearly upset by his comment. It wasn't just Chris taking JoJo's side; Big Brother called Mickey to the Diary Room for a severe reprimand, cautioning him to avoid making such disparaging comments about other contestants. Big Brother issued an explicit warning: "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?".
"Yeah I think so. If I was saying it in a nasty kind of way or if I truly meant it," Mickey retorted, only to be met with Big Brother's stern response: "Mickey, Big Brother thinks your language was offensive and unacceptable. 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?". Mickey acknowledged his mistake as he said: "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." Within just three days in the house, Mickey has already ruffled feathers among nearly half the contestants with his controversial jokes.
From making weight-related jibes at Donna to hurling a homophobic insult at JoJo, Mickey has unwittingly stirred trouble with Chris Hughes, Danny Beard, and Patsy Palmer due to his inappropriate remarks. In the most recent episode of the ITV sensation, Mickey snubbed Patsy's cooking after she prepared a meal for everyone. Rather than expressing gratitude, Mickey opted to critique the ' EastEnders ' star's culinary prowess, earning nothing but glares from Patsy.
Early in the week, while the celebs were taking stock of one another, viewers were left stunned by Mickey's unpleasant habit as he began to brush his teeth at the kitchen sink. Even the celebrities were taken aback; Patsy appeared on the brink of retching watching him scrub away amidst the dirty dishes. A reality TV enthusiast exclaimed on Twitter: "Mickey brushing his teeth in the kitchen sink while Angelica Bell and Patsy Palmer look on in disgust.
.. this series is going to DELIVER! ! #CBBUK," while another bewildered fan shared: "JoJo Siwa trying to stop Mickey Rourke from brushing his teeth over the kitchen dishes as Patsy Palmer heaves in the background.
#CBBUK." One viewer tweeted about Patsy's aghast reaction: "Patsy's reaction to Mickey brushing his teeth in the kitchen #CBBUK," and another commented on the general sentiment in the house: "All the housemates when mickey brushed his teeth at the kitchen sink #CBBUK." Another shocked fan voiced their disbelief: "Mickey brushing his teeth in the kitchen wtfff #CBBUK.
".
