Celebrity Big Brother viewers complaining to Ofcom about ‘creepy’ star demanding ITV to ‘kick him out’
CELEBRITY Big Brother fans have flooded Ofcom with complaints – after just one episode of the new ITV series.
Viewers have called out one particularly “creepy” star and already bombarded the telly watchdog with their opinions.
It followed the cringe-worthy moment which saw Celebrity Big Brother anchor AJ Odudu, 37, ask Mickey Rourke, 72, to “stop looking at me.”
In the spin-off programme Big Brother: Late & Live, guest Alan Carr joked the Nine 1/2 Weeks star’s “tongue was hanging out” during their chat before he entered the reality show compound.
Now viewers have taken to X in an angry frenzy, with one posting: “@Ofcom you need to investigate This kind of Behaviour from Any Celebrity.”
They added: “Get Michael Rourke Removed from the CBB House for Inappropriately Touchy Behaviour Towards AJ Odudu.”
Another posted: “Oh god! I have a horrible feeling #MickeyRourke is going to be one of three types of housemate. The weird one, the creepy one, or the nutty one. Probably all of the above!”
One then said: “Okay Mickey was very creepy with AJ.”
Another demanded: “Get Mickey out.”
One commented: “Mickey’s getting kicked out.”
Their comments came after fears Mickey would “cancel himself” due to his antics.
He was recently seen on his final night out before being holed up in the ITV compound.
MOMENT IN QUESTION
In an awkward encounter, the actor – who had just been introduced to the audience – twirled AJ around before pulling her towards him resulting in the pair bumping into one another.
When fellow host Will Best asked if he could win, Mickey, 72, paused for a while and said: “I haven’t thought about it”.
The New York-born star then turned to AJ and began to look her up and down, before saying: “Nice outfit.”
The host replied: “Thank you. Thank you so much.”

However, when Mickey continued to ogle AJ, she raised her voice slightly and said: “Stop looking at me.”
Moments later, AJ and Will had to physically escort the Sin City star into the house as his slow pace threatened to delay the live show.
Talking to comedian Alan about Mickey’s comment, AJ later addressed the issue.
The Chatty Man host said: “Can we talk about Mickey Rourke looking at you? Wow his eyes.
“Find someone who looks at you the way Mickey looks at you [AJ]. His tongue was hanging out.”
AJ replied: “It literally was. I was like ‘You can’t afford these feathers Mickey, no’.”
Arriving in the compound, the actor – who won a Bafta for his role in the acclaimed 2008 film The Wrestler – was greeted by housemates doing a massive conga.
Ahead of the show, party animal Mickey said: “I have no expectations. I’ve never seen it. I’m just going to go in, do my thing, and we’ll see.”
