Viewers of Gogglebox were left utterly aghast as they watched the moment Mickey Rourke made unacceptable sexual remarks to TOWIE’s Ella Rae Wise on Celebrity Big Brother, leading to his exit from the show. When Ella told Mickey during the task: “You’ve got to come with me,” Mickey shockingly retorted: “Come in you?” leaving Ella visibly upset and in tears.
The house was bustling with incidents right from the onset. In the first few days, Mickey Rourke received an official caution for homophobic slurs aimed at Dance Moms celebrity JoJo Siwa.
The star was overheard by fellow contestants boasting about how he ‘was going to get the lesbian out’, followed by declaring his need for ‘a fag’ as he walked off to the smoking corner. He then dismissively gestured towards JoJo and uttered: “I’m not talking to you,” which prompted Big Brother to give him a warning.
He was later removed for the house following “further use of inappropriate language and unacceptable behaviour.”
This string of events also involved a vile comment made towards Ella and later, using intimidating speech in addressing Love Island’s Chris Hughes, reports the Mirror.
The Gogglebox cast were visibly stunned when witnessing these tense moments. Julie Malone couldn’t hide her revulsion as she cried out: “He didn’t say come in you??!” followed by “That’s disgusting! You can’t speak to somebody like that!”
The Plummer brothers – Tremaine, Twaine, and Tristan also expressed their shock, as they said: “He’s stuck in some timezone. That’s some real caveman behaviour!”.
The cast were left in sheer disbelief when Mickey faced off against Chris, a confrontation that ultimately saw the Hollywood celeb getting booted from the house. Jenny couldn’t hide her bafflement, exclaiming, “Is this real?!” while Lee wondered if it was all a prank, questioning, “Are they joking?”
Julie Malone’s anger at Mickey continued as she exclaimed: “Don’t you call our Chris a see you next Tuesday!”.
Last night saw Olympic champion Daley Thompson become the third contestant to leave the house, while EastEnders’ Patsy Palmer was saved by the public once again.
Reflecting on his departure during his exit chat, Daley said: “I would have liked to have stayed longer but I was quite happy to come out. The problem with it is, no matter what goes on in there, it’s you lot out here,” gesturing towards the crowd. He continued, expressing low expectations for his former housemates, “They have been funny, revealing, great people.”
