Axed Celebrity Big Brother star Michael Fabricant reveals the TWO housemates he’ll see on the outside
MICHAEL Fabricant has revealed the two Celebrity Big Brother housemates he’ll stay in touch with in the real world after becoming the first star to be given the boot.
The former Conservative MP, 74, was evicted on Friday‘s ITV episode following a public vote.
Michael found himself up for the chop along with Hollywood actor Mickey Rourke, 72 – who has since been axed by show bosses – and Coronation Street star Jack P. Shepherd.
He was shown the door after receiving the fewest public votes.
Michael was met with cheers from the crowd as he told hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best: “I’m very sad to say goodbye to all my friends. They were lovely people.”
Michael had been nominated for eviction by Mickey, Angellica Bell, JoJo Siwa, Chris Hughes, Patsy Palmer and Trisha Goddard.
Yet none of those make the cut for the CBB 2025 line-up who he wants to catch up with outside the ITV spy house.
On his page on X he wrote: “I am so determined to catch up with Danny and Jack (and most of the others) as soon as #CBBUK is over. them!”
This prompted one fan to write: “Hope you’re feeling the love from everyone Michael.”
A second put: “I am glad you enjoyed your too short time in the house! The iconic moment was you being wheeled about on the suitcases by Chesney!”
Michael, who is known for his eccentric fashion choices, clutched a teddy bear as he left the Celebrity Big Brother house on Friday night.
SHOW SPATS
However, although Michael described his co-stars as “lovely people”, he may not miss one or two of the housemates.
Michael took revenge on EastEnders actress Patsy during the nominations after she had asked him about his hair.
Just 24 hours before he was given the boot, Patsy had asked him ‘why he wears a wig’.
Taking revenge, he nominated the actress for asking him about his hair.
Michael told Big Brother: “I really have found this very hard but I’m going to nominate Patsy.
Celebrity Big Brother 2025 line-up
Celebrity Big Brother is back for a brand new series, with a whole host of stars set to live it up in the famous compound.
Here’s the FULL line-up of star housemates:
Trisha Goddard – Talk show host
Mickey Rourke – Hollywood actor
Donna Preston – comedian and TV star
JoJo Siwa – influencer and singer
Chris Hughes – Love Island hunk
Jack P. Shepherd – Coronation Street star
Patsy Palmer – EastEnders legend
Daley Thompson – Olympic athlete
Chesney Hawkes – 90s singer
Ella Rae Wise – Towie star
Michael Fabricant – former Tory politician
Angellica Bell – former CBBC presenter
Danny Beard – Drag queen and Britain’s Got Talent
“She asked me something about ‘why do I wear a wig’ and you know, I’m not saying it is a wig, actually, but what I am saying is I found it slightly awkward being asked about it.”
Michael also found himself embroiled in a race row with Trisha Goddard after she accused him of being ‘Islamophobic’.
SHOW RETURN?
A host of fans have now demanded Michael be reinstated in the spy house following Mickey’s unexpected departure.
The Sun was first to report how American actor and professional boxer Mickey, 72, was chucked out of the ITV compound after “threatening and abusive” behaviour towards a co-star.
Mickey, who was ITV’s highest paid housemate of the series, was told to pack his bags after only six days following a series of controversial incidents.
It came after fans speculated he was specifically breaking show rules to bag his whopper fee and be forced to leave.
His departure follows the Bafta winner’s formal warning over a homophobic slur during Wednesday’s episode.
A spokesman for the reality show 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.”
Meanwhile, Michael has now revealed Mickey’s show mindset in a comment following his exit.
