Axed CBB star Mickey Rourke begged to leave just hours before being kicked off show

Unearthed Celebrity Big Brother footage has revealed that begged his fellow housemates to nominate him for eviction just one day before he was told to leave the show. The 72 year old Oscar nominated actor was seen sat at the dining table where he asked and Angelica Bell about the format of nomination.

Reluctant to be drawn into a discussion with the Hollywood star, Ella-Rae made a quick exit to the bedroom. But took a few minutes out to explain to him how nominations worked before following the star to the bedroom. Moments later, Mickey who has been a household name since the seventies, was seen counting down the days until he could be up for nomination after pleading with Ella-Rae and Angelica.

Noticing the moment, a fan of the ITV show posted the clip on X and wrote: "It’s Day 6 in the House… and Mickey has just discovered what the format of the show is. "

They added: "Now he’s absolutely stunned that there’s another five days until his next possible chance to leave. I can’t. #CBBUK."

And fans could not wait to comment. One person said: "Is his brain that cooked surely not." Another said: "I’m gonna keep voting him in just cause he wants to leave so bad."

Meanwhile a third penned: "So fake sitting there counting the days out loud." And a fourth person commented: "Man just wants his £500K cheque."

This comes one day before Mickey was kicked off the show by ITV bosses for "further use of inappropriate language" and "instances of unacceptable behaviour".

Over the weekend, Mickey had allegedly exhibited behaviour and used language that was deemed threatening towards housemate .

While I physical altercation did not take place, ITV bosses felt his behaviour was unacceptable. A spokesman for ITV said: "Mickey Rourke has agreed to leave the House this evening following a discussion with Big Brother regarding further use of inappropriate language and instances of unacceptable behaviour."

Earlier in the week, Mickey received a formal warning from Big Brother over language used towards fellow housemate JoJo Siwa. JoJo accused Mickey of being "homophobic" for saying that he was "going to vote the lesbian out real quick".

Chris had comforted JoJo following Mickey's comments on Wednesday night's episode. During their chat, Mickey was seen asking JoJo if she liked boys and girls. She responded: "Girls. My partner is non-binary."

He then told her: "If I stay longer than four days, you won't be gay any more." JoJo then hit back saying: "If I stay longer than four days, you won't be gay any more."

He then said: "I need a fag." Before adding: " I'm not talking to you."

After being warned by Chris that his language was inappropriate, Mickey saidthat he was simply talking about a cigarette.

Big Brother swiftly called the actor into the diary room and gave him a formal warning. In response he said: "I apologise. I don't have dishonourable intentions - I'm just talking smack, you know. I wasn't taking it all so serious. I didn't mean in it any bad intentions and if I did, sorry."
