Will Mickey Rourke get paid his full £500k Celebrity Big Brother fee after being ordered out of the house for threatening behaviour?

Mickey Rourke would have thought he’d hit the jackpot when he signed up to do Celebrity Big Brother after ITV agreed to pay him £500,000 for the stint.

But over the weekend it was revealed that he left the house after ‘further use of inappropriate language and instances of unacceptable behaviour’.

It came after he received a formal warning from Big Brother earlier in the week for homophobic comments directed at fellow housemate JoJo Siwa.

It is then believed that Mickey used behaviour and language that was considered to be threatening and aggressive on Saturday. It was directed towards fellow housemate Chris Hughes but no physical altercation took place.

Celebrities are awarded their full agreed payment even if they are evicted first from the show like Michael Fabricant on Friday night.

However, they may not receive their impressive wages if they quit the show themselves or are asked to leave. 

MailOnline has contacted ITV for comment. 

It was previously reported by The Express that despite him being paid £500,000 for his stint in the house, he is set to lose nearly half his earnings in tax anyway. 

Despite working in the UK, US citizens must pay tax on earnings even if it’s earned abroad.

Therefore, the publication reported that he could lose up to £213,900 ($276,000) in taxes after he returns home to America.

And back in 2016 Christopher Biggins was asked to leave the show and was reportedly then only paid half of his £100,000 fee. He used a Nazi ‘joke’ on the show which he later apologised for. 

A source said at the time: ‘The production company were under no breach of contract by not honouring his full fee.’

Hollywood actor Mickey has left the house after ‘further use of inappropriate language and instances of unacceptable behaviour’ towards Chris.

The Love Island star, 32, had comforted former JoJo, 21, in Wednesday’s episode after Mickey spoke about her sexuality and said he would ‘vote the lesbian out real quick’. 

This came as earlier on Saturday MailOnline reported that Celebrity Big Brother fans were convinced Mickey was planning to quit the show after spotting one major clue.

During Friday evening’s episode former Tory MP Michael became the first housemate to be evicted after receiving the most nominations from his fellow contestants.

After the result was announced, the politician said his goodbyes before exiting to a mix of boos and cheers, where he was greeted by hosts AJ Odudu, 37, and Will Best, 40. 

However, eagle-eyed viewers noticed Mickey, 72, seemingly attempting to make a sly exit alongside him.

Convinced the Hollywood star is desperate to leave, fans quickly took to X (formerly Twitter) to share their suspicions.

One wrote: ‘Mickey wants out so bad, he keeps saying how he wants to leave first and when that guy was kicked he pretended to leave with him.’

However those watching slammed the result, branding Mickey a ‘homophobe’ after he left dancer JoJo, 21, in tears after he insinuated he would be able to ‘make her straight’ during their time in the house and branded her a ‘f*g’. 

Mickey asked Chris if everyone had to vote one another out of the house as the Wrestler star confessed: ‘I’m going to vote the lesbian out real quick.’

JoJo overheard as she hit back: ‘That’s homophobic, if that was your reasoning.’ 

Defending JoJo, Chris interjected, ‘You can’t do that Mickey,’ yet the star was undeterred as he added: ‘I need a f*g’ before gesturing to JoJo and adding: ‘I’m not talking to you.’

Viewers demanded ‘vile’ Mickey be removed from the house after his comments towards JoJo. 

But JoJo has since been hailed ‘the people’s princess’ by viewers after how she handled the horrific situation, which saw Mickey make repeated homophobic and misogynistic comments towards her. 

They wrote: ‘Jojo Siwa is really great, isn’t she? A mature, smart, young woman,’;

‘The way jojo was nothing but kind to that man when she had every opportunity to tell him to shut the f*** up,’;

‘Jojo has more patience than me because if that old man started brushing his teeth in the kitchen sink in front of me i would’ve lost it,’;

‘Oh i’ve seen enough jojo and chris final two,’; ‘Jojo is the people’s princess i fear,’; 

‘Jojo handled that situation with mickey SO well,’; ‘JoJo is my early winner after tonight. She handled everything so well,’;

‘Jojo’s face when Mickey was being a homophobic rat to her broke my heart. She handled herself so well when she’d be so justified in losing her shit, I’m rooting for her. I hope she kicks him out,’;

”Jojo siwa could win this’ was on nobodies bingo card, but here we are, and I for one, couldn’t be happier that she is getting to show herself!’

Meanwhile, Mickey sparked further backlash earlier in Friday’s episode after a blunt comment left EastEnders star Patsy Palmer in tears.

The housemates were gathered around the kitchen table enjoying lunch prepared by the actress, 52, when the actor criticised her cooking.

He swiped: ‘What do you know, you can’t cook.’

While she initially laughed it off, Patsy soon headed to the diary room to let off some steam to Big Brother.

‘Sorry,’ she said before breaking down into tears. ‘I tried to talk that one out but it didn’t really work. I feel like I let myself down there and I don’t want my reactions to be like that.

‘I always want my kids to always stand up for themselves. Maybe it was just a joke – maybe I need to look at it like that.’

‘I need to try to rise above it. It doesn’t mean I have to like him,’ she added.

Mickey also ruffled feathers in the house after he warned TOWIE’s Ella Rae Wise that she will be ‘an old bag’ one day. 

Looking as fashionable as ever in pink pyjamas, slippers and a fluffy dressing gown, Ella revealed a sweet confession to Mickey and told him she hopes to be ‘beautiful forever’.

Mickey wasted no time popping her bubble in an overly harsh reality check and shot her down.

Mickey asked Ella: ‘What are you doing, doll? Do you want to look beautiful forever?’ to which Ella replied: ‘Taking my make-up off.’

Repeating his question, Mickey said again: ‘Do you want to look beautiful forever?’ prompting Ella to giggle as she told him: ‘Yes, of course. I’ll try, put it that way.’

But Mickey said: ‘Everybody tries for a long time. And then what you do, you just give up. People try for a long time.’

Looking in the mirror, Ella sighed: ‘I hope to be beautiful forever.’

In an attempt to make the blow less harsh but still give his opinion, he said: ‘At least you’ll be beautiful inside, though.

‘You know, when you’re an old bag… that’s just around the corner for all of us.’

Ella replied: ‘At least I’ll have a beautiful heart…’

Celebrity Big Brother airs every night on ITV1, except on Saturday nights.
