Meanwhile, Mickey was during last night's show over his behaviour towards JoJo.

In awkward scenes, he insinuated he would be able to change the gay singer's sexuality.

The exchange began with Mickey asking JoJo: “Where's the smoke room? Where’s the cigarette room?”

He then pressed JoJo and asked: “Do you like girls or boys?”

JoJo replied: “Me? Girls. My partner is non-binary.”

Mickey then made a suggestive comment, saying to the young starlet: “If I stay longer than four days, you won’t be gay anymore.”

Taken aback, JoJo replied: “I can guarantee I’ll still be gay and I’ll still be in a very happy relationship.”

Then, in the garden, Mickey was seen chatting to star .

Mickey asked him if they all have to vote one another out of the house.

“I’m going to vote the lesbian out real quick,” he added brazenly, breaking the rules about nominations.

JoJo overheard and said: “That’s homophobic, if that was your reasoning.”

Chris added: “You can’t do that Mickey.”

Mickey then said: “I need a fag,” while gesturing to JoJo and adding: “I'm not talking to you.”

Chris told the actor: “Mickey, you can’t say that.”

“I know. I was talking about a cigarette,” Mickey replied.

JoJo was left in tears after Mickey's comments, with Chris quick to comfort her.

With JoJo upset by Mickey's comments,called Mickey to the Diary Room.

Speaking to the actor, Big Brother said: “Mickey before you entered the Big Brother house the rules regarding unacceptable language and behaviour were explained to you.”

Big Brother then read back the entire exchange to him, and then said: “Mickey, do you understand how this language could be offensive to your Housemates or the viewing public?”

Mickey replied: “Yeah I think so. If I was saying it in a nasty kind of way or if I truly meant it.”

Big Brother said: “Mickey, Big Brother thinks your language was offensive and unacceptable.”

Mickey then replied: “Alright. I can understand that.”

Issuing him a warning, Big Brother then added: “As a result, Big Brother is giving you a formal warning.

“Further language or behaviour of this nature could lead to you being removed from the Big Brother house. Mickey, do you understand?”

“Yes I do. It’s some serious stuff,” Mickey replied.

He then said: “I apologise. I don’t have dishonourable intentions – I’m just talking smack you know.

“I wasn’t taking it all so serious. I didn’t mean in it any bad intentions and if I did, sorry.”
