Mickey Rourke's time on Celebrity Big Brother UK has come to an abrupt end.

Rourke entered the Big Brother house on April 7 and before he'd even entered the premises he had caused some controversy for the way he acted towards presenter AJ Odudu.

Rourke ogled Odudu as she chatted to him before he headed into the house, leading to the presenter having to tell him to stop looking at her.

CBB viewers branded is behavior as 'unacceptable', but the controversies didn't stop there.

After entering the house, it wasn't long until Rourke was issued a formal warning from producers after he made a homophobic slur towards fellow housemate JoJo Siwa.

But the warning seemingly didn't work as the Sin City actor has now had to leave the show altogether.

Apparently there had been a disagreement between him and Love Island star Chris Hughes, which sparked producers to intervene and ask Rourke to leave.

"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 behavior," a spokesperson for Celebrity Big Brother said in a statement.

They confirmed that no physical altercation took place between Hughes and Rourke, but what the actor was saying was considered as 'threatening and aggressive'.

As the drama unfolded in the house, Bella Thorne — who worked on 2020 movie Girl with Rourke — addressed the way he acted towards Siwa and proceeded to share her own allegations about him.

"I had to work with this man – In a scene where I’m on my knees with my hands zip-tied around my back," the 27-year-old alleged.

"He’s supposed to take a metal grinder to my kneecap, and instead he used it on my genitals thru my jeans. Hitting them over and over again."

The ordeal reportedly left with Throne 'bruises on [her] pelvic bone'. She said that working with Rourke as 'one of the all-time worst experiences of my life working as an actress'.

Reps for Rourke have responded to the former Disney star's claims and said that he 'adamantly denies any intentional misconduct'.

"He was not made aware of any such concerns during filming and had no prior knowledge of Ms. Thorne’s discomfort until now," his rep added.
