Mickey Rourke has made an apology after being dramatically removed from Celebrity Big Brother for his “threatening and aggressive” language. Viewers will witness the tense moment tonight as Mickey is shown the door from the reality show house.
The bombshell dropped last evening about Mickey’s sudden departure. A spokesperson announced: “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.”
Rumours suggest that ITV may cut Mickey’s fee due to his untimely departure. Detailing what led to this unexpected development, it will all be laid out in tonight’s show at the pushed-back time of 10pm, where audiences will hear from Mickey himself on the incident for the first time.
In a Diary Room conversation, Big Brother reprimanded Mickey: “Mickey, Big Brother needs to speak to you about your behaviour. Earlier today in a disagreement with Chris, your language and behaviour was threatening and aggressive. Big Brother does not tolerate threatening language or behaviour. In addition, you have used inappropriate sexual language to Ella,” reports the Mirror.
“Oh, I’m not aware of that but okay,” he responds when informed. Big Brother then cautions him: “This language has caused offence to your fellow housemates and could cause offence to the viewing public. This is not the first time Big Brother has had to speak to you about your offensive and inappropriate language.”
Mickey acknowledges his mistake, saying: “Yes sir. I did wrong. I apologise. I’m sorry. I can’t take it back, you know, I stepped over the line. And I take responsibility for doing the wrong thing.
“‘Cause I lost my temper, and I’ve been trying to work on it my whole life and I wish I would have had better self-control and I’m very sorry. I’m ashamed of myself for losing it for a few seconds there. Nobody got touched or hurt. Maybe some feelings got hurt or maybe others have feelings about others getting upset but, you know, I’m sorry about that.”
Big Brother delivers the final verdict: “Big Brother considers your language and behaviour today to be seriously unacceptable and as a result Big Brother has no option but to ask you to leave the Big Brother house. Mickey, is there anything else you’d like to say?”.
“I blame myself, I know it was my bad. You know, I’ve got a short fuse and I know I upset a lot of people out there, you know. And I’m sorry for that. I’m actually ashamed of myself for getting that hot. I went over the line, you know, I did wrong. I guess, like they say, I’m a work in progress. I just wanna pack my bags and leave, you know. I wanted to leave yesterday actually but I wasn’t chosen,” he says.
Viewers will see the intense moment leading to Mickey’s removal from the house in tonight’s episode. Things escalate during a task when Chris steps out of his spot, prompting a sharp reaction from Mickey who decides to confront him.
A tense exchange ensues as Mickey challenges him: “You looking at me?” with JoJo asserting: “Ahoy. You’re not the captain of this ship. Ahoy. Back up soldier.” To which Mickey warns: “Don’t eyeball me,” and Chris attempts to brush it off: “Mickey it was a joke, f***ing..”
The conflict escalates as Mickey retorts: “Don’t f***ing eyeball me. You ****,” while Danny and JoJo step in, attempting to deescalate the heated moment, assuring: “He was joking. He was joking. He was joking,” amid Chris’ frustration: “F***ing stand there.”
Big Brother interjects authoritatively: “This is Big Brother. Mickey, come to the diary room immediately,” met with Mickey’s defiant response: “No, your a** will be right there in a second.”
Undeterred, Big Brother repeats the command sternly: “Mickey, come to the diary room immediately.”
