Mickey Rourke breaks silence after surprise Celebrity Big Brother axe (2025)

Mickey Rourke was removed from the Celebrity Big Brother house after the use of "threatening and aggressive" language, as he issued an apology to the bosses admitting he felt 'ashamed' of his actions

Mickey Rourke has issued an apology after being axed from the Celebrity Big Brother house. The events will air this evening on ITV as Mickey is kicked out of the house following the use of "threatening and aggressive" language.

Last night it was announced that Mickey had been removed from the Celebrity Big Brother house with immediate effect. An ITV spokesperson said yesterday evening: "Mickey Rourke has agreed to leave the Celebrity Big Brother House this evening following a discussion with Big Brother regarding further use of inappropriate language and instances of unacceptable behaviour."

It’s now been revealed what caused Mickey’s departure, which viewers will see in tonight’s episode of Celebrity Big Brother, airing at the later time of 10pm.

Mickey will also address his exit for the first time.

Mickey was called to the Diary Room, where Big Brother told him: "Mickey, Big Brother needs to speak to you about your behaviour. 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.

To which he responded: "Oh I'm not aware of that but okay."

Big Brother then goes on to tell him: "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."

Then Mickey replied: "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," he continued.

To which Big Brother replied: "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. Mickey, is there anything else you’d like to say?"

"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," Mickey says.
