CBB star confirms reason Mickey Rourke was kicked off show after Patsy incident
Celebrity Big Brother star Chesney Hawkes has claimed that an unaired moment with Patsy Kensit was one of the reasons that Mickey Rourke was removed from the house
Chesney Hawkes has divulged the behind-the-scenes drama surrounding Mickey Rourke's departure from Celebrity Big Brother. Speaking at the glitzy 2025 BAFTA TV Awards, Chesney reminisced about his time on the reality programme with the infamously contentious Hollywood star.
Detailing their interactions, Chesney said: "I'm torn with Mickey because, because, you know, he's on one side, a gross human that says everything inappropriate and offended everybody in the house, pretty much."
He continued: "But then there's another side to him that was actually quite sweet. He's like this lost little puppy in a way, and he's a hurt man, he's had a really difficult life. Danny and I in particular warmed to that side of and tried to get to know him.
"However, it just got too hard because he could turn on a dime and it was frightening, so, you know, I reckon wounded men can end up wounding others, right? It was tough to deal with.", reports the Daily Star.
Chesney then unravelled the misconceptions around why Mickey Rourke was ejected from the house. While fans speculated it was related to his antics with Ella Rae Wise or being chastised for his conduct towards JoJo Siwa, Chesney hinted at an unaired incident involving Patsy that might have tipped the scales.
Intriguingly, Chesney hinted: "There was a slight inappropriate moment with Mickey and Patsy that never made it. I can't go into details, but I think that was one of the reasons he ended up going."
The film star was reportedly booted off the show following allegations of "use of inappropriate sexual language" towards housemate Ella Rae Wise and "aggressive" behaviour aimed at Chris Hughes.
An ITV spokesperson said at the time: "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 behaviour."
Rourke has since issued an apology, stating: "I stepped over the line and I take responsibility for doing the wrong thing. 'Cause I lost my temper, and I've been trying to work on it my whole life and I wish I would have had better self-control and I'm very sorry."
He added, "I'm ashamed of myself for losing it for a few seconds there. Nobody got touched or hurt. Maybe some feelings got hurt or maybe others have feelings about others getting upset but, you know, I'm sorry about that."
The hit reality TV show was eventually won by Coronation Street star Jack P Shepherd. Shortly after winning the show, the actor, 37, hit out at his co-stars after he was asked whether they'd be invited to his wedding.
When asked on Good Morning Britain if he will be inviting any of the housemates to his wedding, he said: 'No, I don't think so. Come on. I've only known them three weeks. Got guest list (a) mile long.
"He (Chris Hughes) keeps asking for an invite. Keeps on going, 'I'll see you at that wedding', I'm like 'I don't think you will pal', haven't even told him (the) date.'

Clarke Carlisle wins £100k on The 1% Club for Soccer Aid
Comedian Lee Mack returned to present the show but this time he was joined by 100 celebrities and sports stars as opposed to the general public. They were put to the test in the quiz where 'the questions have nothing to do with remembering facts, but are all about logic and common sense', explains the Radio Times. The aim of the game was to make it to the end, answering the 1% question correctly to take home up to £100,000 for charity and they were successful. It's the 1% question... Three Lions, two words. What are they? #The1PercentClub At the very end of the show, only two celebrities remained with a chance at making the overall donation total £100,000. Unlike regular versions of the show, the celebrities were working together rather than against each other like members of the public would. While comedian Lloyd Griffith got the final question incorrect, former footballer Clarke Carlisle answered it correctly and won the prize money. Carlisle has also previously been named Britain's Brainiest Footballer. The prize fund included £1,000 from celebrities who were out of the show, having answered a question incorrectly. Former Leeds United defender Clarke Carlisle (once crowned Britain's Brainiest Footballer) has won £100k for UNICEF by absolutely smashing the 1% Club without even using a PASS.
