Mickey Rourke removed from Celebrity Big Brother after heated confrontation

Mickey Rourke's outburst

Mickey Rourke was sent packing tonight after he squared up to Chris Hughes on tonight's Celebrity Big Brother. The Hollywood star lost his cool during a shopping task where the housemates were dressed as pirates. Rourke erupted and made foul-mouthed comments to the Love Island star, leading to his removal from the show.

Confrontation and consequences

During the heated exchange, Rourke aggressively responded to a comment from Chris Hughes, leading to housemates intervening to diffuse the situation. Big Brother eventually stepped in, citing Rourke's threatening language and behavior as the reason for his removal from the show, as well as previous instances of inappropriate conduct.

Money drama and show fee

ITV bosses have reportedly slashed Rourke's £500,000 show fee after multiple incidents of chaos in the house. A source mentioned that celebrities removed from the house do not receive the full fee, indicating a financial repercussion for Rourke's behavior. This decision came after Rourke's confrontations with fellow housemates, including offensive slurs directed at JoJo Siwa and criticism towards Patsy Palmer.
