Mickey Rourke has been pictured for the first time since he was asked to leave the Celebrity Big Brother house after a series of incidents involving inappropriate language and unacceptable behaviour.

The Hollywood star, 72, was saved from eviction on Friday with Michael Fabricant booted out of the house instead after a public vote.

A Celebrity Big Brother rep later 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 after Rourke sparked backlash over his ‘creepy’ behaviour towards host AJ Odudu during the launch of Celebrity Big Brother last week, as well as a warning from producers about homophobic language following vile comments he made to Jojo Siwa.

And on Saturday, his behaviour and language to Love Island star Chris Hughes during a disagreement in a task was considered to be threatening and physical, though no physical altercation took place.

Now, the former boxer was seen looking disheveled outside a hotel, holding a takeaway coffee, flanked by a companion also wearing a hoodie.

Wearing dark shades and looking like his time in the house took its toll, Mickey sported a grey hoodie and bright red shoes as he perched on the steps outside the hotel.

In a preview ahead of tonight’s episode, which airs at 10pm due to a schedule shake-up, details have emerged about what exactly went down in the house that resulted in Rourke making the early exit.

This weekend, all housemates gathered in the garden for a pirate-themed task, JoJo Siwa was assigned the role of Captain and put in charge of steering the ship.

JoJo said: ‘Ahoy! How have things been going out here?’

Trisha Goddard responded: ‘There is a rat amongst us, Captain.’

Reality star Chris Hughes then stepped out of line and looked at Mickey, as if to suggest he was the rat. As the former boxer also stepped forward, he confronted Chris.

‘Stick up for me,’ Chris whispered to Corrie star Jack P. Shepherd, standing beside him, seemingly sensing that things were about to get tense.

‘You looking at me?’, Mickey began.

JoJo said to Mickey: ‘Ahoy! You’re not the Captain of this ship. Ahoy! Back up, soldier.’

Ignoring her demands, Mickey told Chris: ‘Don’t eyeball me.’

‘Mickey, it was a joke, f***ing…’, Chris responded before being cut off.

‘Don’t f***ing eyeball me, you c**t,’ Mickey shot back.

Danny Beard and JoJo then both attempted to diffuse the situation, with drag queen Danny insisting to Mickey that Chris was larking around.

‘F***ing stand there,’ Chris directed at Mickey, nodding towards the line as if to tell him to step back.

‘What did he say?’, Mickey asked.

‘He was joking,’ Danny said.

The Drag Race winner and Olympian Daley Thompson came between Mickey and Chris to calm them down, while Chris repeated that he meant no offence.

Big Brother soon piped up, ordering Mickey to go to the Diary Room ‘immediately.’

Eventually, after a scolding from Big Brother for his behaviour, Rourke apologised.

There seemed to be issues with Rourke from the start. During Monday’s launch, before entering the house, Rourke left people horrified when he grabbed Odudu and pulled her towards him before eyeing her up and down.

His actions were branded ‘creepy’ and ‘vile’, with some even saying it was ‘harassment’, and there were calls for him to be axed from the show already.

He was later given a warning by Big Brother for using a homophobic slur against popstar Siwa, 21, after saying:  ‘If I stay longer than four days, you won’t be gay anymore.’

She went on to give him a killer nomination after the horrific comments he made, leaving many fans convinced he would be the one evicted on the next vote.

Siwa’s partner and mother also spoke out, condemning his comments and inclusion in the programme.

He elsewhere made EastEnders actress Patsy Palmer burst into tears in the Diary Room, after criticising her cooking skills, saying: ‘What do you know, you can’t cook.’’

Rourke had made it clear that he didn’t think he would last in the Celebrity Big Brother house for more than four days, with politician Fabricant telling Odudu and Will Best during Late and Live that Rourke ‘didn’t want to be there’.

During Friday’s eviction night, the Sin City star told his housemates: ‘I’m not good around crowds of people I don’t know and I don’t like being told what to do.’

Days earlier, he had told Trisha Goddard about going on the show, saying: ‘I thought let me just try something new. I decided to isolate and live alone and not have any relationships about six years ago. So, a lot of good stuff is coming to me from just being alone.’

‘This is not easy here for me,’ he added.
