JoJo Siwa has opened up about an unaired Big Brother moment which 'really tipped' her 'over the edge' involving Mickey Rourke.

Last month, Hollywood actor Mickey Rourke and singer JoJo Siwa entered the house of UK reality TV show Celebrity Big Brother.

Within just 48 hours, Rourke used a homophobic slur when chatting with the 21-year-old and was slapped with a formal warning for his 'offensive and unacceptable' language.

Big Brother warned him 'further language or behaviour of this nature could lead to you being removed from the Big Brother house' and the actor later apologized, arguing he didn't have 'dishonourable intentions' and was 'just talking smack' and 'wasn't taking it all so serious'.

Rourke also later apologized directly to Siwa, stating: "I want to apologise. I've got a habit of having a short fuse. And I don't mean nothing by it. I do mean it [sorry]. If I didn't, I wouldn't say it to you."

However, Siwa has since spoken out about the lead up to the comments alongside an unaired moment 'the next day', which contradict Rourke's words.

During an appearance on The Viall Files, Siwa said she was sitting with politician Michael Fabricant and Rourke was there too and 'that's when he made his first smart remarks'.

The singer alleged: "I believe the first ones he said was 'the lesbian over there', you don't want to point somebody out as a lesbian.

"It doesn't offend me at all, but it's just a heads up... he then double down on it and then made a joke using the F slur, then I was like 'I don't want anything to do with this man.'"

The next day, Siwa said she was 'really tipped' 'over the edge' when Rourke allegedly said - in an unaired moment: "I knew what I was saying and that's why I said it."

And that's not all.

Rourke allegedly continued: "I wanted to offend you. I knew it was going to offend you, and that's why I wanted to do it. I like poking at a bear."

Siwa reflected she was left 'shook up' by the moment.

UNILAD has contacted Rourke's representatives for comment.

After his behavior towards Siwa and going on to ridicule comedian Donna Preston about her appearance, reduce Patsy Palmer to tears and get into a heated disagreement with Love Island star Chris Hughes, Rourke was ultimately removed from the house.
