CELEBRITY Big Brother fans have slammed one of the housemates for their “weird” behaviour as Mickey Rourke made homophobic slurs at JoJo Siwa.
Last night’s Celebrity Big Brother saw US singer JoJo, 21, reduced to tears over controversial Mickey’s shock comments.

She was later comforted by Love Island star Chris Hughes, who also told Mickey, 72, he couldn’t use such language.
But fans have hit out at Towie’s Ella Rae Wise for not only failing to offer JoJo support but laughing at the Hollywood actor’s remarks.
During the uncomfortable scenes, Mickey announced “I need a fag” before looking at JoJo and adding: “I’m not talking to you.”
Ella was seen laughing before getting up and walking away as JoJo and Chris attempted to explain to Mickey why he was in the wrong.
Writing on social media, one viewer said: “Is it bothering anyone else that Ella just walked away and was also laughing when he said it?
“She didn’t even go to JoJo when she got up? Idk that was weird too.”
Another commented: “Ella just standing by whilst Mickey was being homophobic doesn’t sit right with me.”
And a third wrote: “No I love Chris, how did Ella sit there and say nothing?”
Mickey started his outrageous attack on JoJo – who is gay – by quizzing her about her sexuality.
JoJo replied: “Me? Girls. My partner is non-binary.”
Mickey then told her: “If I stay longer than four days, you won’t be gay anymore.”
As he spoke to Chris, 32,about the eviction process, he declared: “I’m going to vote the lesbian out real quick.”
A stunned JoJo told him his comment was homophobic and Chris told him: “You can’t say that.”
He was immediately called to the Diary Room and given an official warning.
Big Brother told Mickey: “Further language or behaviour of this nature could lead to you being removed from the Big Brother house.”
JoJo’s partner Kath today broke her silence on Mickey’s shocking words.
After praising Chris for sticking up for JoJo, they said: “Quite frankly it is beyond disgusting and it’s literally taken me many hours to even process what the f*** I just watched.
“Not only because that is the literal love of my life and I want to protect her at all costs, and I feel so helpless that I cannot be there to not only comfort her, but to also lose it at that weasel of a man.”
