ITV Celebrity Big Brother fans spot major clue that Mickey Rourke will 'walk out'
Celebrity Big Brother fans are certain they've rumbled Mickey Rourke's game plan and exit
Celebrity Big Brother fans think they've worked out Mickey Rourke's strategy, suspecting he intends to walk away despite avoiding eviction on Friday. The Hollywood celebrity faced the public vote against Jack P Shepherd and Michael Fabricant and, despite causing much friction, managed to swerve an early exit.
Since entering the Celebrity Big Brother house earlier this week, Mickey has been at the centre of major tension. Following a remark directed at fellow contestant JoJo Siwa, Mickey received an official reprimand for his actions.
He made a notably awkward entrance by clinging onto host AJ Odudu, and JoJo, who found fame on Dance Moms, was visibly distressed following Mickey's jibe about her sexual orientation – with many spectators deeming his warning insufficient and calling for his removal from the programme.
Still, some viewers are convinced that despite surviving another day in the house, Mickey has already signalled plans to exit voluntarily. Through several conversations with other housemates, it seems the actor has hinted at a brief stint of only four days before his departure.
One viewer theorised on social media platform X, querying: "Does anybody else have a feeling Mickey Rourke will leave the house tonight regardless of whether he's evicted?" reports the Mirror.
"He seemed pretty adamant this was a 4 day job - and it wouldn't be the first time he completed a short contract then self-eliminated," the same person aired.
They also shared a clip of Mickey's brief appearance on The Masked Singer, in which he chose to reveal himself after his initial performance without being instructed to do so.
Another viewer chimed in: "I agree, I wouldn't be surprised if he is 'evicted' or just walks out with tonight's evictee. The fact he hasn't even picked out a bed or bothered to unpack says a lot."
A different user said: "I think he'll walk if he knows he's getting his fee." However, some are rooting for Mickey to stay, with one fan saying: "I hope that if the viewers save him he won't walk. He seemed to want to stay last night."
One commenter pointed out, "Pretty sure if you walk, you don't get paid, so if he wants the money, he'll stay till he's evicted. " Mickey also came under scrutiny for making a "fat shaming" remark toward comedian and actress Donna Preston.
As she lay on his bed wearing an LED face mask, Mickey quizzed her whether she was seeing any results, suggesting: "You'd probably be better off running round the block for ten minutes."
Donna said she needed to try something because she was developing a "little turkey neck." Mickey's reply was: "It comes with the territory."
When Donna, appearing confused, asked: "What, life?" Mickey responded: "Yeah. It's like they say: you are what you eat."
Donna, along with the viewers, was taken aback by the comment and Mickey's conduct in the house. Reports suggest that Mickey has secured the largest pay packet among all the housemates for his appearance on the show. He is expected to rake in a whopping £500,000 for his stint.
Celebrity Big Brother airs every night on ITV1, from 9pm.
