“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,” a spokesperson said in a statement, via Deadline.
On Wednesday’s episode (April 9), Mickey asked JoJo if she liked boys or girls, and made a comment saying, “If I stay longer than four days, you won’t be gay anymore.”
He then said he would “vote the lesbian out real quick,” to which JoJo called homophobic.
After being called to the diary room, Mickey apologized to Big Brother, saying, “I apologize. I don’t have dishonorable intentions – I’m just talking smack you know. I wasn’t taking it all so serious. I didn’t mean it in any bad intentions and if I did, sorry.”
He also apologized to JoJo – “I want to apologize. I’ve got a habit of having a short fuse. And I don’t mean nothing by it. I do mean it [sorry]. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t say it to you.”
They even started to patch things up and bonded over tattoos.
Celebrity Big Brother UK is currently airing on ITV1 and STV in the UK.
