CELEBRITY Big Brother star JoJo Siwa’s mum has hit out at Mickey Rourke following the homophobia row surrounding her daughter.
It comes after viewers watched in horror as the now axed Hollywood star, 72, called JoJo, 21, a ‘f**’ and insinuated he could “make her straight” during their time in the house.

Mickey’s bad behaviour continued and last night viewers watched him booted off the ITV show for using threatening language, as well as making an inappropriate sexual remark.
It came after he almost came to blows with Chris Hughes and made a comment towards Ella Rae Wise.
JoJo’s mum has now weighed into Mickey’s actions which lead to his departure.
Taking to social media Dance Moms star Jessalynn Siwa wrote: “To be honest, this is exactly what I was afraid of, something physical.
“I know some people think he was making good TV and will be sad he is gone but it’s not worth it for ones in the room with him.”
MICKEY’S EXIT
Last night was an intense episode which saw Mickey sent packing after he squared up to Chris Hughes.
Housemates tried to diffuse the situation, as Danny insisted: “He was joking. He was joking. He was joking.”
The Hollywood star was also heard saying something inappropriate to Ella Rae Wise.
Calling him to the Diary Room, Big Brother said to Mickey: “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.”

Mickey said: “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.
“Because 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.”
Mickey was then told he would be leaving the house immediately.

PAY CUT
The Sun revealed how ITV bosses have slashed Mickey’s £500,000 show fee after he repeatedly caused chaos in the house.
A source said: “Mickey won’t be receiving all his money from ITV.
“If a celebrity gets removed from the house, they don’t get the full fee. It’s as simple as that and they will be discussing that with him.
“Mickey was ready to leave the house and it ended up feeling like a mutual decision between him and ITV in the end. It was getting too much.”
Mickey, who won a Bafta and was Oscar-nominated for 2008 film The Wrestler, first fell foul of his fellow housemates when he directed offensive slurs at US singer JoJo Siwa, who is a lesbian.
Chris and Mickey first clashed when the latter aimed shocking homophobic slurs at JoJo Siwa, who is gay.
During his short-lived time in the house Mickey also reduced Patsy to tears by repeatedly criticising her cooking.
