Mickey insinuated that he would be able to change JoJo's sexuality before saying he would “tie her up”.

He then seemingly directed a homophobic slur word at her.

Mickey then got given a formal warning by Big Brother for his comments.

In the wake of his comments, viewers are still talking about Mickey and his behaviour.

Many years ago, Mickey admitted he was “f***ing horrible” and had bad behaviour.

In 2009, Mickey addressed his “f***ing horrible” and “out of control” behaviour.

Speaking to Uncut, the actor reflected on his “out of control” years.

He said:“I wasn’t a little bit bad—I was f***ing horrible.”

“For fifteen or sixteen years. I was out of line, out of control, out of my mind.

I had to lose my house, my wife, my money, everything.”

Revealing the extent of it, he added:“I was reduced to selling off my motorcycle collection for cash: where I come from, you’re not supposed to sell your motorcycle.

In 1994, Mickey was arrested for allegedly abusing his wife, although he was later cleared of those charges.

Then, a Hollywood star came to Mickey's rescue and gave him a second chance.

“Sly Stallone gave me a part in theGet Carterremake and saved me,” he said to the outlet at the time.

Mickey added: “I found out he paid my fee out of his own pocket, though he tried to keep that secret from me.”

The actor starred in the 2000 movie remake of the 1971 original.

Mickey played the role of a crook named Cyrus Paice.

Although he credited Sly for saving him, he also touched on his therapist and how they saved him too.

In the interview, he added: “Though really it was my therapist who saved me. From myself.

“See, success upset me because people kissed my ass.

“I’d washed dishes, worked security for gamblers and whorehouses and transvestite bars – where had they been then?”

He later added: “There will always be that little Mad Hatter inside me with his axe.

“But now I understand there are consequences to actions. There’s still work to do.”
