Why was Mickey Rourke removed from CBB?

The Oscar-nominated actor had previously been disciplined by Big Brother over his behaviour in the house - including using homophobic language. But it finally became too much on April 13 and he was removed from the show.

Ella was made to feel “very uneasy” by comments made by Mickey. He was asked to go to the Diary Room and was told that Big Brother needed to “speak to you about your behaviour”.

Big Brother said: “Earlier today in a disagreement with Chris, your language and behaviour was threatening and aggressive. Big Brother does not tolerate threatening language or behaviour. In addition, you have used inappropriate sexual language to Ella.”

Big Brother added, “This language has caused offence to your fellow housemates and could cause offence to the viewing public. This is not the first time Big Brother has had to speak to you about your offensive and inappropriate language.”

In reply, Mickey said: “Yes sir. I did wrong. I apologise. I’m sorry. I can’t take it back, you know, 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.”

But his apology was not enough. Big Brother explained: “Big Brother considers your language and behaviour today to be seriously unacceptable and as a result Big Brother has no option but to ask you to leave the Big Brother house.”
