Hollywood actor Mickey was furious after being thrown the side eye by Chris who hit back: “Mickey it was a joke, f***ing…”
Mickey cut in, telling the Love Island star aggressively: “Don’t f***ing eyeball me. You c***.”
Housemates tried to diffuse the situation, as Danny insisted: “He was joking. He was joking. He was joking.”
Chris then told Mickey to “f***ing stand there” before Danny and Daley stepped in between the pair.
Big Brother then intervened, saying: “This is Big Brother. Mickey, come to the diary room immediately.”
Mickey pointed to the ground and appeared to threaten Chris by telling him: “No, your a** will be right there in a second.”
Big Brother stepped in once again and insisted: “Mickey, come to the diary room immediately.”
After Mickey eventually headed into the diary room, 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.”
Mickey added: “Oh, I’m not aware of that but okay.”
Big Brother said: “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.”
Big Brother then told Mickey his language and behaviour was “seriously unacceptable”, adding: “As a result Big Brother has no option but to ask you to leave the Big Brother house.”
Mickey responded saying: “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 was then seen leaving through the back door and was unable to return to the house to say his goodbyes.
The rest of the housemates found out about Mickey’s exit when Big Brother told them later on.
Money drama
The Sun revealed today 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 Palmer to tears by repeatedly criticising her cooking.
