Mickey Rourke’s Celebrity Big Brother pay cheque revealed as bosses SLASH fee after hellraiser axed from show
ACTOR Mickey Rourke poses with throuple lovers David Haye and Sian Osborne — as ITV looks to slash his Celebrity Big Brother fee.
The 9½ Weeks star, 72, faces a huge cut from £500,000 to £50,000, having caused havoc on the series and leaving early.
He flew out of Heathrow yesterday back to LA.
But on Sunday night he was joined at his luxury West London hotel by boxer pal Haye, 44, and his girlfriend Sian, 33.
Hooded Rourke was carrying a small dog as he greeted the duo — who previously formed a throuple with pop star Una Healy, 43. They left about four hours later at 1.30am.
Yesterday the actor’s team was in talks with CBB execs over the fee reduction.
A source said: “Mickey didn’t do Celebrity Big Brother for the experience and was counting on that money.
“He’s lost a huge amount by leaving the show early. It was worked out on a pro rata basis. Conversations are ongoing so the fee may change but a contract is a contract.”
Rourke agreed he would leave after a final altercation with Love Island’s Chris Hughes, 32.
He also made a sexual remark to Towie’s Ella Rae White, 24. Rourke said: “I apologise. I’m sorry. I can’t take it back, you know, I stepped over the line.
“Cause I lost my temper, and I’ve been trying to work on it my whole life.
“I’m ashamed of myself for losing it for a few seconds there. Nobody got touched or hurt.”
