Mickey Rourke has been kicked off Celebrity Big Brother, and there was much rejoicing.
The 72-year-old actor started his time on CBB by being 'creepy' towards presenter AJ Odudu, leading her to tell him to 'stop looking at me' and head into the house.
Once he was in the house, if Rourke was in there to make friends or appear in any way pleasant then he failed catastrophically, having admitted he was on Celebrity Big Brother because his career was 'in the toilet'.

He upset comedian Donna Preston while she was wearing an LED face mask in an incident which left viewers wondering if he'd been trying to fat-shame her.
Rourke then made homophobic comments towards Jojo Siwa, saying that he was 'going to vote the lesbian out real quick' and told her that if he stayed in the CBB house a few days longer she 'won't be gay anymore' before ignoring the assurances of the woman 51 years younger than him that it wouldn't happen by adding 'I'll tie you up'.
The actor was given a warning for his behaviour on the show, but has since been kicked out of the house for further comments he made.
Rourke made a 'horrible' comment towards Patsy Palmer about her cooking skills, before being kicked out of the house for his comments during a pirate-themed task.

During the task, TOWIE star Ella Rae Wise told the housemates they weren't allowed into the bedroom and couldn't 'touch the crisps or sweets'.
Rourke said: "I don't like them."
Wise told him: "You've got to come with me."
The actor responded by saying: "Come in you?"
Danny Beard then interjected and told Rourke that he 'can't make those jokes'.
Speaking later on, Wise said of Rourke: "He's making me feel on edge. I'm a young girl. I'm not a piece of meat. He's making people feel so uneasy."
The reality TV show star ended up in tears because of Rourke's behaviour, though fortunately he's not around in the house any longer.

Later on in the task, Rourke got himself kicked off the show by confronting Chris Hughes and accusing the Love Island star of 'eyeballing me'.
During the task the celebrities were pretending to be pirates and Trisha Goddard told Jojo Siwa 'there is a rat amongst us, Captain'.
Hughes turned to look at Rourke, who asked him 'you looking at me' before telling the 32-year-old 'don't eyeball me'.
"Don't f**king eyeball me. You c**t," Rourke said as the other housemates tried to calm things down to no avail, with the actor was called into the Diary Room, where he was told that his foul language - along with his 'inappropriate sexual language' towards Wise and his homophobic comments to Siwa - meant there was no choice but to kick him off the show.

While Hughes said 'Mickey's just Mickey', Wise said: "It's fine, you can be just someone, but be mindful of what it can trigger in other people, because it's made me feel very uneasy."
