ITV released a statement on Saturday night stating Mickey had “agreed to leave” the house following “further use of inappropriate language and instances of unacceptable behaviour."

Mickey’s final outburst came after Love Island's Chris threw the Oscar nominee a side eye during the task, where the housemates were dressed up as pirates.

Mickey went for the star and the situation unravelled. 

A source said: “Mickey didn’t like Chris disrespecting him with the side eye and went for him with loads of smack talk.

“On this occasion it was offensive, threatening and aggressive.

“However it didn’t get physical and security nor producers did not need to intervene.

“Mickey was called to the diary room and in discussion about his ongoing bad behaviour, he agreed to leave.”

The Sun understands that no physical altercation took place.

The Sun revealed today how ITV bosses have slashed Mickey's £500,000 show fee after he repeatedly caused chaos in the house.

A source said: “Mickey won’t be receiving all his money from ITV.

Mickey Rourke sparks concern with Celebrity Big Brother fans as he’s spotted slumped on the floor

“If a celebrity gets removed from the house, they don't get the full fee. It’s as simple as that and they will be discussing that with him.

“Mickey was ready to leave the house and it ended up feeling like a mutual decision between him and ITV in the end. It was getting too much."

Mickey, who won a Bafta and was Oscar-nominated for 2008 film The Wrestler, first fell foul of his fellow housemates when he directed offensive slurs at US singer JoJo Siwa, who is a lesbian.

The insider added: “The production team are concerned Mickey is going to push it too far. He’s completely off the scale in the house and he’s not calming down.

“Mickey has also been threatening to break down the fire door to get out. They’re at their wits’ end with his antics.”

ITV issued a statement when Mickey was removed and said: “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."
