Mickey Rourke has agreed to leave the Celebrity Big Brother house, an ITV spokesperson has said.

They said: ‘Mickey Rourke has agreed to leave the Celebrity Big Brother House this evening following a discussion with Big Brother regarding further use of inappropriate language and instances of unacceptable behaviour.’

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

During Friday evening’s episode former Tory MP Michael Fabricant 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 lesbian 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’.
