Celebrity Big Brother's Mickey Rourke 'ashamed' of himself for heated Chris Hughes clash
Celebrity Big Brother's Mickey Rourke felt "ashamed" of himself for exploding into an expletive-filled rage at Chris Hughes, which played a huge part in him leaving the show.
The 'Wrestler' actor, 72, agreed to depart the 'CBB' abode on Saturday (12.04.25) after a heated argument with former 'Love Island' star Chris during a pirate task, in which he fumed with Chris for "eyeballing" him.
Reflecting on the incident, Mickey said before leaving the house: "I blame myself, I know it was my bad. You know, I've got a short fuse and I know I upset a lot of people out there, you know. And I'm sorry for that.
"I'm actually ashamed of myself for getting that hot.
"I went over the line, you know, I did wrong. I guess, like they say, I'm a work in progress.
"I just wanna pack my bags and leave, you know. I wanted to leave yesterday actually but I wasn't chosen."
Big Brother later deemed his language and behaviour had been "seriously unacceptable", and added: "As a result Big Brother has no option but to ask you to leave the 'Big Brother' house."
However, Mickey's Chris clash wasn't the only reason he was spoken to by Big Brother during his short stint on the ITV show.
He was also axed from the programme after "use of inappropriate sexual language" towards his housemate Ella Rae Wise, which left the 'TOWIE' star in tears on Sunday's (13.04.25) episode.
Earlier in the series, Mickey Rourke received a formal warning from Big Brother for "unacceptable language and behaviour" aimed at housemate JoJo Siwa.
What's more, he left 'EastEnders' legend Patsy Palmer in tears after criticising her cooking.
Mickey was up for eviction last week alongside 'Coronation Street' actor' Jack P. Shepherd and Conservative Party member Michael Fabricant.
However, the actor was saved by the public, who sent Michael home instead.
Following Mickey Rourke's early departure from the house, Michael claimed his former housemate wanted to leave "on day one".
Taking to X, he penned in response to the news of his exit: "He wanted to leave on Day One!"

‘Love Island' UK vs USA: The Biggest Differences Between the Shows
The reality TV gods have truly blessed us, as right now, not one, but two series of Love Island are currently airing, and honestly what a summer we have ahead of us. Earlier this week the 12th series of Love Island UK landed on ITV2 and last week Love Island USA began its seventh season on Peacock. Much of the show remains the same on both sides of the pond—a group of eligible singles are on the lookout for love spending eight weeks in a villa, where they have a summer of cracking on, "got a text" and deep meaningful chats around the firepit. However, there are some pretty major noticeable differences between both iconic shows. Curious to know more? These are the biggest difference's between Love Island UK and Love Island USA. UK Love Island UK is of course hosted by the icon that is Maya Jama. The TV presenter has been working on the show since series nine in 2023, after taking over from Laura Whitmore. She also hosts the show's spin-off Sunday night episode Aftersun. USA Meanwhile in the USA, former Vanderpump Rules cast member Ariana Madix presents the show. Ariana joined last season, following former host Sarah Hyland's exit from the show. While the hosts may be different, Iain Stirling does in fact do the voiceovers for both series. UK Since the show's inception 10 years ago with series one in 2015, Love Island has always been filmed on the Spanish island of Mallorca. In the first few series it was shot in Santanyi, however since 2017 it's been filmed in Sant Llorenç des Cardassar. The winter version of the series takes place in South Africa. USA Love Island USA has filmed in a variety of locations since it began. When the show was out on CBS the first season was filmed in Fiji, however it was moved to Las Vegas for season two due to the pandemic. The third season then took place in Hawaii. The show was then moved to be shown on Peacock and as part of this for the show's first season on the new network the series was filmed in California. And for the last three seasons, including the one currently airing, Love Island USA is filmed in Fiji. UK This season Love Island returns to its Mallorcan Villa, which is traditionally available as a holiday let, but is taken over by ITV every summer to create the legendary villa. In the villa there's one bedroom and one bathroom for all the Islanders. As well as the hideaway, outdoor kitchen and firepit. USA Like most things in the States, the Love Island USA villa is much bigger than the UK version. Unlike the UK one however, this villa is a set designed entirely for the show, rather than using an existing structure. They also have the addition of a 'speakeasy'. Unlike in the UK where the beds face each other, in the US all the beds are in a long line in the bedroom. UK Over the years there's been a lot of challenges in the UK version of the series, from the Twitter challenge, to the baby challenge and of course all those gross food tasks. Thankfully the food tasks are now gone and generally the producers have cut back on the game element of the series. Now, the biggest challenges are the "snog, marry, pie" and the snogging line up challenge. USA In the USA, the series does a variety of challenges and while they keep some the same such as "snog, marry, pie" there's still a lot of different ones. Earlier this season they did a blind-folded test with the new bombshells and last year they continued the tradition of doing the food challenges they've axed in the UK. UK Since the show began in 2015, Love Island UK has always given away a prize fund of £50,000 to the couple who are crowned the season's winners. For many of the seasons the winning couple would then be asked if they wanted to split or steal the money from their partner, however this part of the show has since been axed. USA Over on the other side of the pond, the winning couple walks away with a joint prize fund of $100,000.

Coronation Street fans beg for 'awful' couple to break up on the show soon
Coronation Street fans have called for a couple to break up on the ITV soap, saying their relationship is "awful". This concerns the characters DS Lisa Swain (played by Vicky Myers) and Carla Connor (Alison King). Lisa and Carla became a couple on the show in 2024 and currently live together alongside Lisa's teenage daughter, Betsy (Sydney Martin). A recent storyline has seen trouble in the relationship as Lisa has been struggling following the death of her employee, Craig Tinker (Colson Smith). Amid this, Lisa asked Carla to marry her, before later revealing that her emotions might have gotten the better of her in the moment. Carla explained that she wants them to get married one day, but said that she needed it to be out of "love, not grief". It has resulted in Lisa giving Carla the cold shoulder in recent episodes, and some fans want the relationship to end. A post made on the Coronation Street Reddit page brought up the topic of Lisa and Carla's relationship not working anymore. The person wrote: "I was one of the people who originally loved the idea of these two being a couple. On paper, I thought they just really suited as both characters are similar to each other so I was looking forward to seeing them together. "However, I couldn't have been more wrong. "Carla is a shell of the woman she used to be. Swain always has something to moan and complain about regarding Carla and I honestly think it's terrible, borderline abusive behaviour from her." They discussed events of recent episodes where Lisa rebuffed Carla's attempts at a romantic dinner, and said they wanted Carla "back to her old feisty self". Quite a few people agreed with the sentiment as one shared: "I also liked them to begin with. They seemed well matched as two strong no-nonsense women. The chemistry was understandable. "But Swain is AWFUL. She takes Betsy's bad behaviour (although Betsy's naughtiness is growing on me) out on Carla all the time, and is just always in a foul mood." A third commented: "Swain is annoying just treats Carla like a doormat. The writing has been poor since they got together clearly there was no long-term planning and they live in absolute misery." Many viewers want to see better things for Carla, as another said: "Loathe Swain and her awful daughter, Carla deserves better but I never ever believed that she would want someone whose crapness at her job would result in so much suffering for Roy."

I was excited to see them together but they've rushed the honeymoon period completely and turned them into a bickering, bored couple. "I had higher expectations for Swain's character. It just all feels a bit flat now. All she does is moan and nothing is ever good enough." One simply said: "I really hope they split up too. Carla deserves so much more."
