Hollywood star Mickey Rourke has agreed to leave the “Celebrity Big Brother” house on Saturday after another incident of inappropriate language and behaviour.
ITV said the 72-year-old actor’s behaviour towards Chris Hughes from the UK version of “Love Island” was deemed “threatening and aggressive” but made note that “no physical altercation took place”.
“Today, Mickey’s behaviour and language to Chris during a disagreement in a task was considered to be threatening and aggressive, but no physical altercation took place,” the broadcaster said in a statement.
Rourke was first given a warning from show producers after he made homophobic comments to fellow American Jojo Siwa. The 72-year-old actor asked Siwa if she was attracted to boys or girls.
“Girls. My partner is non-binary,” responded Siwa.
Rourke then replied, “If I stay longer than four days, you won’t be gay anymore.”
The tension continued to escalate when Siwa overheard Rourke tell Hughes, “I’m going to vote the lesbian out real quick,” referring to her.
On Saturday, ITV confirmed Rourke has “agreed to leave” the Celebrity Big Brother 2025 house.
“Celebrity Big Brother” airs Sunday-Friday on ITV1 and ITVX.
