Mickey Rourke Exits ‘Celebrity Big Brother UK’ After More “Threatening & Aggressive” Language
Mickey Rourke is leaving the Celebrity Big Brother UK house after further use of inappropriate language.
“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,” a spokesperson for CBB said in a statement to Deadline.
The latest incident involved a conversation between Rourke and fellow housemate and Love Island UK alum Chris Hughes after they disagreed during a task. Although the exchange didn’t involve a physical altercation, Rourke used “threatening and aggressive” language.
Rourke had been warned earlier this week about using inappropriate language after he used a homophobic slur toward fellow housemate JoJo Siwa.

“I apologize. I don’t have dishonorable intentions – I’m just talking smack you know. I wasn’t taking it all so serious. I didn’t mean it in any bad intentions and if I did, sorry,” Rourke told Big Brother in the Diary Room.
After exiting the Diary Room, Rourke had a moment with Siwa, telling her, “I want to apologize. I’ve got a habit of having a short fuse. And I don’t mean nothing by it. I do mean it [sorry]. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t say it to you.”

Siwa nominated Rourke with a killer nomination, putting him on the block and at risk of leaving the house. The actor escaped eviction following the public vote, which opted to evict the controversial conservative politician Michael Fabricant instead.
During his stay in the house and following reports of Rourke’s remarks about Siwa, former co-star Bella Thorne accused him of misconduct while filming the movie Girl.
