Having landed back in LA, a content creator queried Mickey, 72, about his time in Celebrity Big Brother.
They asked him, among other questions: "What would you say to JoJo Siwa? Do you have any comments for JoJo?"
Looking perplexed, Mickey replied by asking: "Who's that?"
"She was on the show with you - JoJo Siwa", the content creator reminded him.
Viewers previously watched on as now-axed Mickey came under fire when he directed offensive slurs at US singer JoJo Siwa, who is a lesbian.
JoJo's mum weighed into Mickey's actions which lead to his departure.
Taking to social media, Dance Moms star Jessalynn Siwa wrote: "To be honest, this is exactly what I was afraid of, something physical.
"I know some people think he was making good TV and will be sad he is gone but it's not worth it for ones in the room with him."
The Sun revealed ITV bosses slashed Mickey's £500,000 show fee after he repeatedly caused chaos in the house.
He joins stars including Roxanne Pallett and Jeremy Jackson who had their big-money fees slashed after being axed.
A source said: ' Mickey won't be receiving all his money from ITV.
'If a celebrity gets removed from the house, they don't get the full fee.

Kath Ebbs and actress Aisha Dee appeared to be getting very close and cosy on Friday night as they went out line-dancing in Los Angeles. The Aussie stars could be seen cuddling up on the dance-floor and swaying seductively together as they enjoyed a night out at a Stud Country event. In videos shared to Instagram, Kath, 27, danced with their friends, with one clip showing Aisha, 31, behind them as they grabbed their hips and swayed together. Kath, who recently split from US star JoJo Siwa, appeared to lean into the touch and sang the lyrics 'I'm a slave for you' to the Apple Cider Vinegar star. Moments later in the same clip, Kath could be seen dancing with the same affection with their other friend musician Gatlin. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Kath Ebbs and actress Aisha Dee appeared to be getting very close and cosy on Friday night as they went out line-dancing in Los Angeles It's not the first time Kath and Aisha have been seen getting close, as the pair starred together in G Flip's new all-queer star-cast music video Big Ol' Hammer. The clip briefly saw the friends together, with Kath admiring and squeezing Aisha's muscles as she flexed her arm. G Flip's new song releases on June 11, with the music video jam packed with queer celebrity cameos as they dance and kiss in a mechanics shop. The video begins: 'In the heart of Scissortown, where the streets are wet and the dreams are bold, join G Flip and the crew on a journey of friendship, rebellion, and the horsepower of pride. 'This summer, G Flip has a tool belt with a big ol' hammer!' The non-binary artist can be seen wearing a white tank top as they show off their biceps and dance around with the other queer stars in the shop. As well as Kath and Aisha, other stars appearing in the clip include comedian Fortune Feimster, TikTok star Kate Hina Sabatine, musician Siena Liggins, and model Olly Eley. The L Word star Jacqueline Toboni, songwriter Julianne Hope, YouTuber Shannon Beveridge, and songwriter Jesse Thomas were also included. It's not the first time Kath and Aisha have been seen getting close, as the pair starred together in G Flip's new all-queer star-cast music video Big Ol' Hammer Kath's outing with Aisha comes after after her ex JoJo, 22, confirmed her relationship with Celebrity Big Brother co-star Chris Hughes. JoJo and Chris, 32, formed a close bond during their 19-day stint in the house earlier this year, with viewers convinced there was more to their friendship. After leaving the house in April, JoJo broke up with Kath at the CBB wrap party, but went on to insist Chris was not to blame and their relationship was strictly platonic. However, JoJo confirmed last month she's made her relationship with Chris official, as she gushed she's 'head over heels' for him after weeks of speculation. While JoJo has been grilled many times on her relationship status, she had been noticeably coy, simply branding Chris her 'favourite person in the world'. But in a new interview with Capital Radio, JoJo confirmed she and Chris have made their relationship official, and she's started calling him her boyfriend. Speaking in a video for the channel's new series Capital Buzz, the dancer admitted she's had to explain her viral 'dream guest on my podcast' moment to Chris. She then added: 'I'm sure it's no secret to people, I am in a lovely relationship with a sweet boy named Christopher Hughes.'

50p with unusual error making it worth 80 times its face value
An expert explained how to spot the specific error that makes it so valuable Brits have been told to look out for a 50p coin that could be worth more than 80 times its face value. This coin, from 2017, has sold in the past for as much as £40. But why is it so valuable? It's all to do with a specific error that could be hard to spot. In a video uploaded to social media platform TikTok, an expert called the Coin Collecting Wizard told his followers about the Benjamin Bunny 50 pence piece. The coin was part of a set of four released in 2017 to honour Beatrix Potter's legacy, which also includes Peter Rabbit, Tom Kitten, and Jeremy Fisher. But the Benjamin Bunny coin stands out due to a minting mishap. This error results in Queen Elizabeth II appearing to face the wrong direction. The coin expert said: "Did you know if your Benjamin Bunny 50p has a rotation error, then it's worth a lot more than 50 pence? "So you know what to look for, this 50p error coin is rare all because a part of the design is facing the wrong way." He explained: "The error that's left the Queen's head in a different direction, on the obverse, to the design of Benjamin Bunny on the reverse will have happened in the minting process. "When you flip it round, the Queen should be facing up the same way as Benjamin Bunny. If the Queen is facing any other way, then you have found a very rare rotation error worth money." This coin is still in circulation so it could be hiding in your change. "Error coins are still legal tender, so long as the original coin is still in circulation too," he continued. "That means you could easily come across one in your change. Oftentimes, error coins will sell for a lot more than their face value. "So this is definitely something you need to be looking for as it can be easily missed. So next time you come across the Benjamin Bunny 50p, flip that rabbit over and check the Queen. Good luck." Last year, The Sun highlighted a case where one of these coins fetched £40 - a whopping 80 times its face value of 50p. And in 2021, another coin from the same batch was reportedly snapped up for an eye-watering £255 on eBay. At the time of reporting, a graded edition of this coin was listed on eBay for £312.72.

Sue Cleaver reflects on '25 years of laughs' after Coronation Street exit
Eileen Grimshaw had a special send-off during Friday's episode of the soap, where she was seen leaving for Thailand alongside her son Jason Grimshaw, played by Ryan Thomas. Simon Gregson's character Steve McDonald, Tony Maudsley's George Shuttleworth, and Eileen's son Todd, played by Gareth Pierce, all said goodbye to the matriarch before drivers from the local taxi firm honked their horns as she was driven off. In an Instagram post, Cleaver said: 'Well… that's a wrap. 25 years of laughs, tears, costumes, chaos — and one unforgettable journey. A post shared by Sue Cleaver (@officialsuecleaver) 'I'll miss this character like crazy, but what a ride it's been. Thank you for every moment.' Cleaver has played the outspoken and uncomplicated Eileen in the ITV show since 2000. Eileen came to Weatherfield to work at the local taxi firm, Streetcars, to provide for her two tearaway teenage children, Jason and Todd. She soon became friends with her boss Steve and came into conflict with Helen Worth's character Gail Rodwell (also known as Gail Platt). Cleaver took part in I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in 2022, where she opened up about reconciling with her birth mother, and was eliminated third. She also said her family is 'bizarrely interconnected' to other Coronation Street stars, including Worth who is godmother to one of her half-sisters, while her other half-sister's husband, John Bowe, appeared on the cobbles as Duggie Ferguson. In 2024, she released a book A Work In Progress in which she discusses how she feels she is not past her prime. In recent years she has appeared as a panellist on ITV chat show Loose Women.
