One of Mickey Rourke’s housemates in Celebrity Big Brother has revealed that the actor’s most offensive comments ‘could not be broadcast’.
This comes after Rourke’s exit from the show following a heated exchange with former Love Island star Chris Hughes in which the actor called him a c**t and had to be held back.
This happened after Rourke also made sexual comments to Ella Rae Wise which left her in tears, homophobic and sexual comments to JoJo Siwa, and a had bizarre entrance deemed ‘creepy’ by viewers in which he grabbed and ogled host AJ Odudu.

Rourke was subject to controversy outside of the house too, with actor Bella Thorne accusing him of ‘bruising her genitals’ on the set of a film, an accusation that his reps for have denied.
In essence, it’s a shock that it took ITV this long to boot the actor.
Rourke was given a warning after his homophobia towards Siwa but was then removed from the house after ‘further uses of inappropriate language’ and ‘instances of unacceptable behaviour’.
Shockingly however, Sir Michael Fabricant has stated that we haven’t seen the worst of it.

The former Conservative MP, who stood down after losing his seat in 2024, was the first celebrity to be booted from the house.
Speaking on X, he responded to people asking question about Rourke’s behaviour in the house.
While speaking to JoJo Siwa, Rourke told her he was going out for a ‘f*g’, pointing at her and saying ‘I’m not talking to you’.
This came shortly after a conversation where, after he asked Siwa told him she liked girls, with Rourke saying that she wouldn’t ‘be gay after four days with him’, something she assured him was untrue.

When someone online asked why you can’t say the word 'f*g' anymore – Fabricant responded saying: “Yeah, but that wasn’t said in isolation. There was a lot more, some of which could not be broadcast.”
Fabricant did not elaborate on what more was said, but host Will Best has also spoken out about the issue on This Morning.
Best stated that Rourke had left the other contestants ‘a bit scared’ and feeling ‘vulnerable’.
He said: “I can't repeat exactly what Mickey said, but it was bad, and it made not just Chris [Hughes] – Chris handled it very well – but it made the rest of the house feel vulnerable, a bit scared.”

In his confrontation with Hughes, he said ‘don’t f**king eyeball me, you c**t’ after the Love Islander jokingly stared at him.
Rourke then pointed to the ground and said: “Your ass will be right there in a second.”
After being called to the diary room and asked to leave, Rourke said: “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."
