CELEBRITY Big Brother fans think they've ‘worked out’ why Mickey Rourke finally got axed from the house - and it wasn’t to do with his Chris Hughes fight.
The Oscar-nominated actor, 72, 'agreed to leave the house' on Saturday following a confrontation with Chris, 32, which was shown on Monday night's episode.
However, fans believe that what was shown wasn't the full story, and there was more the ITV team decided not to air.
During the task, where the housemates were dressed up as pirates, Mickey squared up for Chris after 'giving him the side-eye' in a flippant moment.
While Chris said it was a joke, Mickey branded the former Love Island star a 'c**' and threatened to knock him out.
The moment came after he made another inappropriate remark which left Ella Rae Wise uncomfortable.
Taking to Reddit to share their theories, one viewer wrote: “The whole house looked completely shook for the rest of the episode which seems wild for what went down on screen."
Another fan chimed in with: “I don't think the argument itself got him removed, it was the multiple people being upset after and saying they didn't feel safe around him.”
Someone else pointed out: “He clearly made a lot of people very uncomfortable. What we see on the show is less than 1 hour out of 24 so I’m sure there will have been more we haven’t seen which wasn’t radical enough to show but put people on edge.”
The final incident came after a bombshell moment just 24 hours into the house, where he made used homophobic language towards gay housemate JoJo Siwa, after telling her "after four days with him she wouldn't be gay anymore".
He was given a formal warning for his comments towards JoJo, with the incident involving Chris proving to be the last straw.
During his short-lived time in the house, Mickey also reduced Patsy to tears by repeatedly criticising her cooking.
Calling him to the Diary Room, 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.”
Mickey was then told he would be leaving the house immediately.
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."
ITV issued a statement when Mickey was removed and 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."
Mickey has since fled back to Los Angeles, and has had his reported £500,000 appearance fee slashed for his behaviour.
