CBB fans convinced ITV CUT Mickey Rourke’s row with Chris Hughes saying ‘we need the full story’
CELEBRITY Big Brother fans have become convinced there was more to Mickey Rourke’s exit than what was shown.
The Oscar-nominated actor ‘agreed to leave the house’ on Saturday following a confrontation with Chris Hughes, 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, one fan claimed: “Feels like that whole Mickey Chris argument had a lot of missing context with tons edited out.
“That’s it? I would have liked to have seen more.
“It felt like we didn’t see the whole dialogue and build up. Feels like we’ve missed out on some context there.”
“I agree. I couldn’t work out what was going on,” said another.
“Oh yessss… very much so. But obvs they had an hour to squeeze in the jist of it.. they did leave out all his other vile comments to Ella …as they stated he had said .. they just aired ONE but said he said inappropriate and unacceptable COMMENTS to her.,” said a third.
However, others believe that the incident was seen in full – which is why it took so many housemates off guard.
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.
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.
