Gogglebox stars were left stunned by Mickey Rourke’s shocking comments in the Celebrity Big Brother house before his axing from the show.
During Friday evening’s instalment of the Channel 4 show, the sofa critics watched the moment the Hollywood actor, 72, left the house after his controversial antics.
Mickey was ejected due to his repeated ‘offensive and inappropriate’ language, which included making vile Sєxual remarks towards Ella Rae Wise; issuing homophobic threats at JoJo Siwa; and squaring up to Chris Hughes.
He reduced Ella, 24, to tears when she asked him to come with her, prompting Mickey to crudely respond: ‘Come in you?’ which reduced her to tears before shockingly calling Chris, 32, a ‘c***’.
Watching the scenes, the Gogglebox cast were left open-mouthed and Julie Malone looked disgusted as she exclaimed: ‘He didn’t say come in you??! That’s disgusting! You can’t speak to somebody like that!’
Brothers Tremaine, Twaine, and Tristan Plummer were equally outraged, saying: ‘He’s stuck in some time zone. That’s some real caveman behaviour!’

During Friday’s instalment of the Channel 4 show, the sofa critics watched the moment the Hollywood actor, 72, left the house – but it was his earlier behaviour that truly appalled them
The cast later watched the tense moment Mickey squared up to Love Island star Chris Hughes, 32, in an altercation that led to the actor’s removal from the house.
‘Is this real?!’ exclaimed a bewildered Jenny, while Lee added: ‘Are they joking?’
Julie was left fuming once again, shouting at the screen for Mickey not to use such offensive language towards Chris.
Just two days into the show, Mickey had received a formal warning after his homophobic outburst towards JoJo, 21.
The star left the dancer in tears after he insinuated he would be able to ‘make her straight’ during their time in the house and branded her a ‘f*g’.
After a turbulent few days, Mickey was removed from the house after he exploded into a foul-mouthed rant amid an aggressive altercation with Chris.
Elsewhere on Big Brother, Daley Thompson became the third housemate to be evicted from the house on Friday evening.
During Thursday’s nomination results it was revealed Patsy Palmer, 52, and former Olympian Daley, 66, were facing the public vote, with the latter ultimately leaving.
Brothers Tremaine, Twaine, and Tristan Plummer were equally outraged, saying: ‘He’s stuck in some time zone. That’s some real caveman behaviour’ in response to his shock remarks

Daley was nominated by Angellica, Chris, Donna, and Patsy and became the third star to be voted out after Trisha Goddard and Sir Michael Fabricant left the show.
After swiftly saying his goodbyes to his fellow housemates, as gushed to hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best: ‘If you ever get a chance you should spend a couple of weeks in there, it was brilliant.’
Sitting down with hosts, Daley called his housemates ‘rats’ after he discovered they voted for him as they didn’t feel he pulled his weight with the house chores, and explained they must have seen him as a threat.
Asked whether the reasons surprised him, Daley teased: ‘No none of them surprise me as they are all rats.
‘The one’s who said I don’t do any washing up that is so not true. Everyday I washed up, I made tea for everybody. I put out all the plates and stuff.’
After the announcement was made to the group on Thursday, several housemates were visibly shocked to hear Daley’s name come up.
TOWIE star Ella burst into tears, claiming she was upset for the others – not herself.
Explaining she was like a young daughter to him, Daley added: ‘Some people undermine her in there’.

The star also insisted he wasn’t trying to win as he admitted: ‘No because it was outside of my control’.
He claimed there are housemates who have that agenda as he said: ‘There are reality stars, they are performative and no what they’re doing.’
Taking to Twitter following his exit interview, fans penned: ‘who does daley think he was a threat to i don’t see it x’;
‘Daley saying the other housemates voted for him because they see him as a threat’;
‘Literally didn’t see Daley do a thing, other than sit with his arms crossed’; ‘Not shocked tbh. Shame though. Bye Daley. xx’;
‘YES!! Daley’s been evicted’; ‘literally can’t work out what Daley brought to the #CBB house. Bar the odd bit of agg, his presence just seemed pointless’.
With the celebrity series two weeks underway, the show is set for more upcoming drama as there will reportedly be a brutal backdoor eviction twist this weekend.
The Sun has reported that one star will be given the boot on Saturday, with their idenтιтy not revealed until the show airs on Sunday.
The format of this year’s backdoor eviction is as yet unclear but last year Heartstopper actor Bradley Riches, 23, was axed in secret, much to the shock of fans.
ITV has been contacted by MailOnline for comment.
Celebrity Big Brother airs on ITV1 and is available to stream on ITVX.
