Celebrity Big Brother fans slam Mickey Rourke for 'horrible' comment that left Patsy Palmer in tears

The actor has put his foot in it once again

Mickey Rourke is continuing to make waves in Celebrity Big Brother, and this time it's Patsy Palmer who he has upset.

The 72-year-old actor has already made quite the impression on the British public - and he's not even been in there a full week yet.

He's been slammed for his ‘creepy’ behaviour with host AJ Odudu during his entrance, as well as his homophobic comments towards Jojo Siwa.

Rourke admitted he's only doing the ITV reality show because his career 'is in the toilet', but he seems to be flushing his chance at a comeback down the drain with his controversial comments.

In Friday's (12 April) episode of Celebrity Big Brother, the former boxer left Patsy Palmer in tears after criticising her cooking.

The Eastenders actress, 52, has been making meals for the housemates since they entered the CBB pad on Monday (7 April).

But Rourke apparently had no clue that the celebs had to fend for themselves during their time on the show, as earlier this week, he complained that the grub hadn't been very good.

Chatting to Siwa in the bedrooms, he said: "Big Brother has got to work on the food a little," before saying it was 'not that great'.

The Dance Moms star then explained that Palmer, who was also present for the conversation, is the one who has been whipping up a storm - or not, in Rourke's eyes - all week.

Palmer held her tongue, but appeared to scowl as he heard his critique - and in last night's episode, the cooking row boiled over.

Rourke seemed to take the opportunity to stir up some trouble as he was once again chatting to Siwa, who was also on the wind up and pretending to be a 'new housemate'.

The celebrities were gathered around the dining table to chow down on a lunch which Palmer had prepared before they enjoyed a party.

Palmer was saying that she 'liked' Siwa a lot, to which Rourke suddenly and bluntly replied: "What do you know? You can't cook."

Clearly taken aback, the London-born actress said: "I can't cook?"

Rourke then savagely responded: "No, not even a little bit," before saying she had made broccoli which he 'couldn't chew'.

Palmer said she 'hoped it was a sarcastic joke' and appeared to laugh it off in front of the other stars, saying: "I've got kids, I'm used to being told I can't cook."

However, she became emotional when recalling the exchange with Rourke to Big Brother in the Diary Room.

Palmer sobbed: "Sorry...I tried to talk that one out but it didn't really work. I feel like I let myself down there and I don't want my reactions to be like that.

"I always want my kids to always stand up for themselves. Maybe it was just a joke - maybe I need to look at it like that.

"I need to try to rise above it. It doesn't mean I have to like him."

Viewers took to X to slam Rourke for his comments.

One wrote: "How dare Mickey Rourke make our British Institution and icon Patsy Palmer cry."

Another added: "Mickey did not need to make a horrible comment about Patsy's cooking in front of everyone!"

A third wrote: "Nobody makes our Patsy Palmer cry. Get Mickey Rourke evicted immediately."

And a fourth chimed in: "This isn't fair on Patsy now. Mickey needs speaking to about this now, it's borderline bullying."
