Mickey Rourke’s ‘threatening and aggressive’ comments in heated moment that saw him kicked out of CBB

Mickey Rourke has been kicked out of Celebrity Big Brother for reasons including the use of 'inappropriate sexual language' and 'threatening and aggressive' behaviour.

The Hollywood actor, 72, was asked to leave the ITV show on Saturday (12 April) after he received a formal warning over 'further use of inappropriate language and instances of unacceptable behaviour.'

A Celebrity Big Brother spokesperson said in a statement on Saturday evening that Rourke 'has agreed to leave the Celebrity Big Brother House this evening following a discussion with Big Brother'.

The last nail in the coffin was during a task on Saturday when he used threatening and aggressive language towards Love Island's Chris Hughes.

Housemates were dressed up as pirates and the actor was left unimpressed by Hughes' 'side eye' reaction to when Trisha Goddard said: "There is a rat amongst us, Captain."

Watch the drama unfold below:

It seems Hughes knew what was coming when he whispered to Coronation Street star Jack P. Shepherd who was stood beside him: "Stick up for me."

"You looking at me?" Rourke said as he walked aggressively over to Hughes.

"Ahoy! You’re not the Captain of this ship. Ahoy! Back up, soldier," said JoJo Siwa, who was subjected to homophobic comments from Rourke earlier on in the series.

Ignoring her, the actor went on: "Don’t eyeball me."

"Mickey, it was a joke, f**king…" Hughes responded before being cut off.

Things quickly escalated when the former boxer said: "Don’t f**king eyeball me, you c**t."

"F**king stand there," Hughes then demanded.

Olympian Daley Thompson was forced to come between the pair to calm them down.

Big Brother then announced: "Mickey, come to the diary room immediately."

The producers then told Rourke: "Earlier today in a disagreement with Chris, your language and behaviour was threatening and aggressive. Big Brother does not tolerate threatening language or behaviour."

"Oh, I’m not aware of that but okay," he replied, before apologising, saying: "I stepped over the line. And I take responsibility for doing the wrong thing. ‘Cause I lost my temper, and I’ve been trying to work on it my whole life and I wish I would have had better self-control and I’m very sorry.

"I’m ashamed of myself for losing it for a few seconds there. Nobody got touched or hurt. Maybe some feelings got hurt or maybe others have feelings about others getting upset but, you know, I’m sorry about that."

Big Brother then said there is 'no option but to ask you to leave the Big Brother house'.

Rourke added: "I blame myself, I know it was my bad. You know, I’ve got a short fuse and I know I upset a lot of people out there, you know. And I’m sorry for that. I’m actually ashamed of myself for getting that hot. I went over the line, you know, I did wrong.

"I guess, like they say, I’m a work in progress. I just wanna pack my bags and leave, you know. I wanted to leave yesterday actually but I wasn’t chosen."

This came after the actor made an inappropriate sexual comment towards Ella Rae Wise, who told Rourke to 'come with me' to which he replied: "What come in you?"

The TOWIE star, 24, was called into the dining room where she broke down in tears.

"I don’t like the sexual jokes. I’m a young girl. I’m not a piece of meat. He’s making people feel really uneasy," she said.
