Perez Hilton has revealed he would tell American Celebrity Big Brother contestants Mickey Rourke and JoJo Siwa to ‘go see a psychiatrist’ after they leave the show.

The celebrity blogger, 47, took part in the show back in 2015 where he was in the house with the likes of Katie Price, Katie Hopkins and Calum Best.

Perez proved to be one of the most controversial contestants of all time as his erratic behaviour in the house bothered his fellow celebrities and viewers at home.

The media personality now insists he was having mental health difficulties during his time in the house and wouldn’t be suprised if the same happens to Jojo or Mickey.

He told The Sun: ‘I was having severe mental health crises in that house. I’m not exaggerating. My brain… it was racing, and I could not shut it off to go to sleep.’

Perez said one of the biggest problems in the house was a lack of sleep because his ‘brain was racing’ and he found it difficult to shut it off.

Hollywood actor Mickey Rourke and singer JoJo Siwa are taking part in this year’s show 

He said: ‘My lack of sleep started to cause mental health issues, like severe anxiety that was not helped by some of the things that Big Brother did that people may never realise.’ 

Perez also felt some of his fellow housemates would deliberately start arguments wiht him as a way of getting airtime, because he was known internationally. 

Asked what he would tell JoJo and Mickey, he replied: ‘Go see a psychiatrist and have them prescribe you anxiety medication and sleeping medication even if you don’t take it now.’

He reckons JoJo is probably doing the show for ‘easy money’ while Mickey might need the money as celebrities are often not good at managing their finances. 

Perez learned from his experience on Celebrity Big Brother and, a few years later when he did I’m A Celebrity Australia, made sure he had sleeping medication and anxiety medication during his stay.   

Mickey appears to have redeemed himself following his awkward entrance, with fans of the show warming to him.

The Hollywood actor was criticised for his ‘creepy behaviour’ on launch night when he leered at show host AJ Odudu and wrapped his arm around her waist. 

But after Tuesday’s episode, viewers are now warming to the actor for his unintentionally comedic behaviour – such as appearing confused by the premise of the show and falling asleep on the couch.

Mickey was also praised by viewers whe he discussed RuPaul ‘s Drag Race star Danny Beard in the Diary Room

The actor has now landed in the middle of the pack in the betting and currently has odds of 12-1 to win, behind favourites Chris Hughes at 11-4 and Danny Beard at 3-1. 

Mickey volunteered to go to the task room where he got confused by what he had to do, thinking he was gifting someone a scooter.

He then chose to give a prize to Love Island host Chris Hughes. He couldn’t remember his name so referred to him as ‘the good-looking kid, I think he said he’s from Australia’.

He was later called to the Diary Room by Big Brother and then said: ‘Where’s the dining room?’ as the other housemates had to help him get there. 

On spin-off show Late & Live, both the studio guests and the audience appeared to have warmed to Mickey, recognising his comedic potential as a housemate. 

Former winner and guest Kate Lawler said: ‘I love that he thought he was giving a scooter to Chris. He reminds me of my nan. As much as I was disappointed in his behaviour last night, he is very entertaining. I do like him as a housemate.’

Fellow guest Eddie said: ‘The moment he picked where he was going to sit, I said, that’s my guy.’ He later described Mickey as having a ‘big heart’. 

AJ then went into the audience to get some other opinions with one man saying: ‘I think he’s fantastic, he has that Gary Busey energy where we don’t know what he’ll do next.’ 

AJ then went over to a woman who asked her: ‘Are you OK from last night?’

‘I’m absolutely tip top, thanks for asking,’ AJ replied. 

Mickey was also praised by viewers whe he discussed RuPaul’s Drag Race star Danny Beard in the Diary Room.

The actor said he wasn’t sure whether to refer to Danny as ‘he’ or ‘she’. Big Brother suggested he refer to Danny as ‘she’ while in drag and ‘he’ or ‘they’ while out of drag. 

Mickey fell asleep on the couch before housemates were allowed to enter the bedroom

When he couldn’t remember Chris Hughes’ name, he referred to him as a ‘good looking kid, I think he said he’s from Australia’ despite Chris being from the Cotswolds

When told to go to the Diary Room, he asked: ‘Where’s the dining room?’ 

Mickey said he found the idea of using different pronouns ‘confusing’ but thought Danny seemed like a nice person. 

It comes after Mickey drew sharp criticism from viewers for his behaviour towards AJ Odudu on launch night.  

Within minutes of his arrival, the Hollywood actor was seen leering at the ITV show’s host. After being introduced to AJ by her co-host Will Best, Mickey approached her on stage, grabbing her around the waist and spinning her in a circle.    

The presenter looked more and more uncomfortable but kept her professional composure as she told the actor to ‘stop looking at me’.

She then turned him around by his shoulders and directed him to the door, with the actor heard saying: ‘No, I want to stay with you.’

It was at this point that AJ’s co-host Will Best stepped in, pulling AJ back from Mickey who had grabbed her by the arm. ‘Don’t take AJ with you!’ he shouted after the actor.
