Celebrity Big Brother stars ‘threatened to walk off show unless Mickey Rourke was axed’ claim fans
CELEBRITY Big Brother fans have become convinced that other housemates threatened to walk out over Mickey Rourke's behaviour.
Actor Mickey "agreed to leave" the Big Brother house on Saturday night after an altercation with Chris Hughes saw him threaten violence against the star.
While he was immediately pulled into the diary room, he was later told and agreed it was in everyone's best interest that he leave the house for good.
However, fans think that the show edited out some of the real context – coming to the conclusion the decision was made was due to other stars threatening to walk out on mass.
Taking to Reddit, one viewer said: "I think the untold story here is that a few of them have told BB that they will walk if Mickey continues on the show.
"I bet Patsy’s been complaining about him in the Diary Room since the f-word situation and ITV haven’t been showing it."

"ITV have obviously hidden most of the stuff Mickey has done for the last week and now we’re seeing it all bubble over without the majority of the context," they continued.
"The vibes from these clips are as if some of the housemates were considering walking to avoid living with him."
Mickey's exit came after a controversial week from the star, in which he was seen using homophobic slurs and making derogatory comments towards the women in the house.
On Saturday during a task, while the housemates were dressed up as pirates, Mickey squared up for Chris after 'giving him the side-eye' in a flippant moment in which 'Captain' JoJo Siwa declared there 'was a rat in their midst'.
While Chris said it was a joke, Mickey branded the former Love Island star a 'c**' and threatened to knock him out.
Big Brother had to demand Mickey come to the diary room to split the pair up, with housemates standing between them as the pair got heated.
The incident came after he made another inappropriate remark which left Ella Rae Wise uncomfortable earlier in the day.
Just 24 hours into the house, Micky left viewers stunned when he used homophobic language towards gay housemate JoJo Siwa, moments after telling her "after four days with him she wouldn't be gay anymore".
He was given a formal warning for his comments towards JoJo, with the incident involving Chris proving to be the last straw.
TV 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."
Mickey has since fled back to Los Angeles, and has had his reported £500,000 appearance fee slashed for his behaviour.
