Mickey Rourke is doing himself no favours in the Celebrity Big Brother house as he has broken yet another rule.
The Sin City actor, 72, has already been reprimanded by ITV over homophobic remarks directed at fellow housemate Jojo Siwa, 21, and was previously called out for his “creepy” behaviour towards show host AJ Odudu, 37.
He has further raised eyebrows by trying to cover up cameras and sleeping on the sofa instead of in the communal bedroom.
Despite receiving a warning about his conduct during Wednesday’s show, he still doesn’t appear to have learnt his lesson.
In Thursday’s episode, Rourke will be seen entering the Diary Room where he is expected to nominate a housemate to face the first public eviction, but he refuses, breaching one of Celebrity Big Brother’s rules.
He explains: “I choose not to evict anyone. I refuse to do that. I will not pick two people to toss off the shelf.”
Viewers will have to tune in to see if Rourke does eventually comply.
Meanwhile, one person who had no issue with making their nomination was Siwa.
In a twist, the former child star was granted the “Killer Nomination Power”, which gives her the ability to pick one housemate who will face the public vote.
Unsurprisingly, the Karma singer made the “pretty easy” decision to choose Rourke, citing his “hurtful” comments.
Adding that his eviction would be the “best case scenario for me”.
Rourke caused outrage both in and outside of the house when he told Siwa that she “won’t be gay anymore” should she spend four days in his company.
He also shared his plans to “vote out the lesbian real quick”, prompting Siwa, who had overheard, to call him out as “homophobic”.
Siwa’s partner Kath Ebbs, who identifies as non-binary and uses she/they pronouns, has since hit out online at Rourke, branding him “pig” and a “dangerous person”.
Taking to Instagram, Ebbs shared a clip in which they fumed: “A lot of people want to know my thoughts on Mickey Rourke, or however the f*** you say his last name, on his comments towards my partner JoJo on Big Brother and quite frankly it is beyond disgusting and it's literally taken me many hours to even process what the f*** I just watched.
“Not only because that is the literal love of my life and I want to protect her at all costs… but secondly take the fact out that I have massive emotional stakes in the comments towards her,” they added.
