Mickey Rourke has been spotted for the first time since his disastrous turn on Celebrity Big Brother (Picture: Click News and Media)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Mickey Rourke<\/a> has been pictured for the first time since he was asked to leave the Celebrity Big Brother<\/a> house after a series of incidents involving inappropriate language and unacceptable behaviour.<\/p>\n

The Hollywood star, 72, was saved from eviction<\/a> on Friday with Michael Fabricant<\/a> booted out of the house instead after a public vote.<\/p>\n

A Celebrity Big Brother rep later said<\/a>: \u2018Mickey Rourke has agreed to leave the Celebrity Big Brother House this evening following a discussion with Big Brother<\/a> regarding further use of inappropriate language and instances of unacceptable behaviour.\u2019<\/p>\n

This comes after Rourke sparked backlash over his \u2018creepy\u2019 behaviour towards host AJ Odudu<\/a> during the launch of Celebrity Big Brother last week, as well as a warning from producers about homophobic language following vile comments he made to Jojo Siwa.<\/p>\n

And on Saturday, his behaviour and language to Love Island star Chris Hughes<\/a> during a disagreement in a task was considered to be threatening and physical, though no physical altercation took place.<\/p>\n

Now, the former boxer was seen looking disheveled outside a hotel, holding a takeaway coffee<\/a>, flanked by a companion also wearing a hoodie.<\/p>\n

Wearing dark shades and looking like his time in the house took its toll, Mickey sported a grey hoodie and bright red shoes as he perched on the steps outside the hotel. <\/p>\n

In a preview ahead of tonight\u2019s episode, which airs at 10pm due to a schedule shake-up<\/a>, details have emerged about what exactly went down in the house that resulted in Rourke making the early exit. <\/p>\n

This weekend, all housemates gathered in the garden for a pirate-themed task, JoJo Siwa<\/a> was assigned the role of Captain and put in charge of steering the ship.<\/p>\n

JoJo said: \u2018Ahoy! How have things been going out here?\u2019<\/p>\n

Trisha Goddard<\/a> responded: \u2018There is a rat amongst us, Captain.\u2019<\/p>\n

\n
\n\t\t\"13\t<\/div>

Reality star Chris Hughes<\/a> then stepped out of line and looked at Mickey, as if to suggest he was the rat. As the former boxer also stepped forward, he confronted Chris.<\/p>\n

\u2018Stick up for me,\u2019 Chris whispered to Corrie star Jack P. Shepherd<\/a>, standing beside him, seemingly sensing that things were about to get tense.<\/p>\n

\u2018You looking at me?\u2019, Mickey began.<\/p>\n

JoJo said to Mickey: \u2018Ahoy! You\u2019re not the Captain of this ship. Ahoy! Back up, soldier.\u2019<\/p>\n

\n

Ignoring her demands, Mickey told Chris: \u2018Don\u2019t eyeball me.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Mickey, it was a joke, f***ing\u2026\u2019, Chris responded before being cut off.<\/p>\n

\u2018Don\u2019t f***ing eyeball me, you c**t,\u2019 Mickey shot back.<\/p>\n

Danny Beard<\/a> and JoJo then both attempted to diffuse the situation, with drag queen Danny insisting to Mickey that Chris was larking around.<\/p>\n

\u2018F***ing stand there,\u2019 Chris directed at Mickey, nodding towards the line as if to tell him to step back.<\/p>\n

\n
\n\t\t\"13\t<\/div>
Rourke was asked to leave the house after he had repeated problems with the other housemates (Picture: CLICK NEWS AND MEDIA)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u2018What did he say?\u2019, Mickey asked.<\/p>\n

\u2018He was joking,\u2019 Danny said. <\/p>\n

The Drag Race winner and Olympian Daley Thompson came between Mickey and Chris to calm them down, while Chris repeated that he meant no offence.<\/p>\n

Big Brother soon piped up, ordering Mickey to go to the Diary Room \u2018immediately.’ <\/p>\n

Eventually, after a scolding from Big Brother for his behaviour, Rourke apologised. <\/a><\/p>\n

There seemed to be issues with Rourke from the start. During Monday\u2019s launch, before entering the house, Rourke left people horrified when he grabbed Odudu and pulled her towards him before eyeing her up and down.<\/p>\n

His actions were branded \u2018creepy\u2019 and \u2018vile\u2019<\/a>, with some even saying it was \u2018harassment\u2019, and there were calls for him to be axed from the show already.<\/p>\n

\n
\n\t\t\"13\t<\/div>
His stay in the house has caused considerable controversy (Picture: CLICK NEWS AND MEDIA)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

He was later given a warning by Big Brother for using a homophobic slur against popstar Siwa, 21, after saying:  \u2018If I stay longer than four days, you won\u2019t be gay anymore.\u2019<\/p>\n

She went on to give him a killer nomination<\/a> after the horrific comments he made, leaving many fans convinced he would be the one evicted on the next vote.<\/p>\n

Siwa\u2019s partner and mother also spoke out<\/a>, condemning his comments and inclusion in the programme.<\/p>\n

\n

\n\t\t\t\tWhat did Mickey Rourke say to JoJo Siwa on Celebrity Big Brother?\t\t\t<\/h2>\n
\n

On Celebrity Big Brother 2025, Hollywood actor Mickey Rourke<\/a> sparked uproar with homophobic comments<\/a> that he made towards internet sensation JoJo Siwa<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking in the House, Rourke, 72, asked Siwa, 21: ‘So do you like girls or boys?’<\/p>\n

‘Me? Girls,’ Siwa answered, to which Rourke responded: ‘I know, I could tell.’<\/p>\n

After the dancer shared that her partner is non-binary, the housemates who were in the garden started to talk about the eviction due to take place that week on Friday night.<\/p>\n

‘If I stay longer than four days, you won’t be gay anymore,’ Rourke remarked, as Siwa said back to him: ‘I can guarantee I will still be gay and I will still be in a very happy relationship.’<\/p>\n

‘I’ll tie you up,’ The Wrestler actor replied.<\/p>\n

‘I can promise you that won’t happen,’ Siwa stated. ‘I dare you to try, you’ll be the one tied up.’<\/p>\n

Rourke then spoke to some other housemates, asking about the process of voting out other contestants on Celebrity Big Brother.<\/p>\n

‘I’m going to vote the lesbian out real quick,’ he said, as Siwa \u2013 who was lying on a sun lounger \u2013 turned her head towards him and declared: ‘That’s homophobic.’<\/p>\n

‘Eh?’ Rourke asked, as Siwa continued: ‘That’s homophobic if that was your reasoning.’<\/p>\n

After the actor repeated that he was going to ‘vote the lesbian out’, he then used a slang word beginning with f to say that he wanted a cigarette.<\/p>\n

However, he then gestured towards Siwa and quipped: ‘Not talking to you,’ seemingly referencing the f word that’s used as an anti-gay slur.<\/p>\n

Love Island star Chris Hughes<\/a>, who was sitting next to Rourke, told him: ‘You can’t say that Mickey,’ while Siwa kept her composure and said: ‘One breath at a time troops, one breath at a time.’<\/p>\n

After Hughes repeated his warning to Rourke, the actor insisted that he had been talking about a cigarette before walking off on his own.<\/p>\n

The reality TV star went over to check on Siwa, consoling her as she cried in his arms over the upset. At the same time, Rourke was called to the Diary Room, where he received a formal warning for his remarks.<\/p>\n

Later on inside the lounge, Rourke went over to Siwa as he told her: ‘I want to apologise,’ telling her that he has a ‘bad habit of having a short fuse’.<\/p>\n

‘I don’t mean nothing by it. Ok sorry,’ he said as he shook her hand, while she told him that she appreciated his apology.<\/p>\n

Rourke’s homophobic comments towards Siwa happened a day after he was criticised for touching presenter AJ Odudu ‘inappropriately’<\/a> on stage.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
