“If a celebrity gets removed from the house, they don't get the full fee. It’s as simple as that and they will be discussing that with him.

Today, revealed Mickey, 72, had been repeatedly warned about his behaviour by Celebrity bosses in scenes that weren’t aired.
Hours before his shock exit, a source said: “Some of them had hoped he’d be booted out in the first eviction because there is only so much they can do to protect him.
“He has been called into the Diary Room on multiple occasions because of his language or his behaviour.
“None of this has been shown on camera because it would end up like The Show.”;
Mickey, who won a Bafta and was Oscar-nominated for 2008 film The Wrestler, first fell foul of his fellow housemates when he directed offensive slurs at US singer , who is a lesbian.
The insider added: “The production team are concerned Mickey is going to push it too far. He’s completely off the scale in the house and he’s not calming down.
“Mickey has also been threatening to break down the fire door to get out. They’re at their wits’ end with his antics.”;
ITV issued a statement when Mickey was removed and said: “Mickey Rourke has agreed to leave the House this evening following a discussion with Big Brother regarding further use of inappropriate language and instances of unacceptable behaviour.”
It is believed Mickey displayed “threatening and aggressive” behaviour towards his housemate Chris Hughes during a disagreement in a task.
