Mickey Rourke has decided to leave the “Celebrity Big Brother UK” show after using inappropriate language and exhibiting unacceptable behavior, according to a show spokesperson. The actor’s departure came after a dispute with fellow contestant Chris Hughes. Rourke, 72, had previously been warned by producers about his behavior and offensive language on set. The decision for Rourke to exit the show was made following discussions with Big Brother regarding further instances of inappropriate language and behavior. While there was no physical altercation, Rourke’s language was considered threatening and aggressive. Earlier in the week, Rourke received a warning for making inappropriate comments to housemate JoJo Siwa. The actor asked Siwa about her preferences and made comments prompting her to assert her identity. Rourke also made a comment that Siwa found homophobic and later apologized for his remarks, expressing that he had no harmful intentions. Despite receiving training and briefings on appropriate behavior, Rourke’s actions led to his decision to leave the show.
Siwa was granted a special power to choose a housemate for eviction in the current season of CBB UK. Rourke was the one selected after making homophobic remarks towards Siwa. This came shortly after Rourke faced criticism for inappropriate behavior towards host AJ Odudu. Co-host Will Best warned Rourke after he made physical gestures towards Odudu.
