THERE was a very awkward moment last night during the live segment of Celebrity Big Brother.
EastEnders icon Patsy Palmer, 52, was the third housemate to be evicted on Triple Tuesday last night after Angellica Bell and Ella Rae Wise were both out the door.

Soon after her exit, Patsy sat down with hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best for her interview.
Midway through their chat, Will told Patsy: “There were a few tricky moments you had to deal with in there.
“People complaining about your broccoli, that was one…”
Patsy went stern-faced and there was total silence as the hosts waited for her to say something.
Will laughed: “You don’t want to talk about the broccoli do you…”
Patsy remained silent and Will quickly said: “Absolutely fair enough.”
Again there was silence, leaving AJ to fill in the gap.
She asked: “Did it really upset you when Mickey complained to your face about the food?”
Patsy flatly replied: “Erm, not really that.”
The squirming hosts were referring to axed housemate Mickey Rourke and when he said that Patsy was a bad cook, which in turn left her crying in the diary room.
And now fans are convinced that they know the real reason why she didn’t want to talk about the innocent green vegetable during her exit interview.
“The talk of Patsy’s Broccoli on Late & Live really seemed to trigger something, have I missed something?” asked the original poster on Reddit, who brought up the topic in the BBUK forum.
They added: “I know Mickey said her broccoli was shit but I’m wondering if anything else happened around that time.
“Or speculation of what could’ve happened. Idk, it seemed to really strike a nerve when they mentioned it.”
Mickey Rourke’s worst moments in CBB house
Mickey Rourke had a tumultuous time in the Celebrity Big Brother house, with the actor causing mass upset among his housemates and viewers at home.
One of Mickey’s first controversies came before he event entered the house itself. Fans were shocked when as Mickey arrived on stage before heading inside the house, he looked host AJ up and down before entering the house. He then said “nice outfit” while leering at her.
The next shocking moment came when the 72-year-old actor was seen chatting with JoJo Siwa before using a homophobic slur and insinuating he would be able to change the gay singer’s sexuality. Mickey was given a warning about this by Big Brother.
The Oscar-nominated star later displayed “threatening and aggressive” behaviour towards his housemate Chris Hughes during a disagreement in a task, with this causing him to get the axe. Chris gave Mickey a side eye during the task, with this resulting in a verbal altercation before Mickey agreed to leave the house.
Prior to his exit, Mickey made reality star Ella, 24, uncomfortable after making a “sexual remark” to her. During a task, Ella told the group: “I have instructions for us all. We’re not allowed in the bedroom, no one is allowed to touch the crisps or sweets.” Mickey replied: “I don’t like them anyway,” to which Ella replied: “You’ve got to come with me.” The actor then shockingly replied: “Come in you.”
One person then replied: “I think she just didnt want to talk about mickeys impact on the show tbh.”
A second then added: “It made me realise that there must have been so much stuff Mikey did which they edited out for her to have that kind of reaction to having to talk about him.
“Much more than the single broccoli comment we saw.”
While a third person said that she didn’t want her interview to be about him or five him the attention.
Hollywood actor Mickey – who was thrown out after inappropriate and offensive remarks and behaviour – said to Patsy earlier in the series: “What do you know, you can’t cook.”
“I can’t cook?” asked a stunned Patsy.
“No, not even a little bit,” doubled down Mickey.
Patsy replied: “I hope that was a sarcastic joke.”
She then went to the Diary Room and sobbed over the cruel comments.
Mickey continued to slam Patsy’s cooking and mentioned how her broccoli was too hard to eat.
