Mickey Rourke 'won't get full £500k fee from ITV' after Celebrity Big Brother axe


Mickey Rourke, who was removed from the Celebrity Big Brother house yesterday, reportedly won't receive his full fee from the show

On Wednesday, Mickey received a stern warning from the show after he told JoJo Siwa that she "won't be gay anymore" after spending a few days in the house with him, before announcing to other housemates: "I'm going to vote the lesbian out real quick." In a dramatic turn of events on the reality TV stage, Mickey was sternly warned by Big Brother after telling other stars he needed "a fag" and dismissively remarking to JoJo: "I'm not talking to you." The controversy didn't end there; throughout the week, Mickey faced sharp criticism from audiences for "fat-shaming" contestant Donna Preston by suggesting she'd be "better off running around the block for ten minutes" and adding: "It's like they say, you are what you eat."
