MICKEY Rourke gets given a very strict warning by Big Brother in tonight's episode.
The 72-year-old actor will be seen embroiled in a ‘homophobic' row in tonight's episode, as another housemate is left in floods of tears.
American star Mickey asks fellow American celebrity JoJo Siwa, “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 replies: “I can guarantee I’ll still be gay and I’ll still be in a very happy relationship.”
Then, in the garden, Mickey can be seen chatting to Love Island star Chris Hughes.
Mickey asks him if they all have to vote one another out of the house,
“I’m going to vote the lesbian out real quick,” he adds brazenly, breaking the rules about nominations.
JoJo overhears and is quite stunned, saying: “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,” insinuating a homophobic slur.
“Mickey, you can’t say that,” Chris says.
“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, Big Brother calls Mickey to the Diary Room.
Speaking to the actor, Big Brother says: “Mickey before you entered the Big Brother house the rules regarding unacceptable language and behaviour were explained to you.”
Big Brother then reads back the entire exchange to Mickey and then says: “Mickey, do you understand how this language could be offensive to your Housemates or the viewing public?”
Mickey replies: “Yeah I think so. If I was saying it in a nasty kind of way or if I truly meant it.”
Big Brother says: “Mickey, Big Brother thinks your language was offensive and unacceptable.”
Mickey then says: “Alright. I can understand that.”
Issuing him a warning, Big Brother then says: “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 replies.
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.”
