Big Brother's most controversial exits: From Andrew Tate's controversial stint to a housemate's repeated escape attempts - as Mickey Rourke is axed


From its very first season in 2000, aired on Channel 4, Big Brother has played host to mischievous contestants, including 'nasty' Nick Bateman who was disqualified from the opening series.

But the Hollywood star, who also used a homophobic slur towards Jojo Siwa and brought Ella Rae Wise and Patsy Palmer to tears with rude remarks, was not the first person to be booted off the often explosive show. Social media mogul Andrew - who has been on the receiving end of sexual trafficking allegations in recent years - was removed after The Sun disclosed a video of him hitting a woman with a belt, which he claimed was consensual. FAMOUS FOR: The actor and former pro boxer is one of the show's biggest ever signings and after public feuds with Robert De Niro, two marriages and a string of high profile relationships, he will be bringing plenty of drama.
