JOJO Siwa’s partner has addressed her appearance on Celebrity Big Brother hours before it emerged Mickey Rourke was given a formal warning over an offensive slur.
The star will be left in tears during tonight’s episode of the fly-on-the-wall reality show over comments made by Mickey, 72.
It comes after Mickey Rourke was slapped with a warning from Big Brother after a ‘homophobic’ slur towards JoJo[/caption]
In uncomfortable scenes, he is seen chatting with JoJo Siwa and insinuates he will be able to change the gay singer’s sexuality.
He then brazenly tells Chris Hughes later in the garden: “I’m going to vote the lesbian out real quick.”
Stunned, JoJo overheard the entire conversation as she brands his comments “homophobic”.
Mickey then said: “I need a fag,” while gesturing to JoJo and adding: “I’m not talking to you,” insinuating a homophobic slur.
Ahead of the scenes airing on ITV1, JoJo’s partner Kath Ebbs has addressed their partners appearance on Celebrity Big Brother.
Taking to Instagram, they told fans: “It’s genuinely the weirdest thing not being able to talk to my partner and Them being on reality TV that I can watch live.”
The Australian influencer continued: “Honestly the worst part of it is, all I want to do is Kiki.
“There are so many things that are going on and all I want to do is call her and make like a notes app of things that I want to discuss and dissect and debrief with her when she gets out.”
JoJo came out as part of the LGBTQ+ community in January 2021.
She and Kath went Instagram official in January 2025 when they shared a selection of PDA-packed photos.
Celebrity Big Brother airs tonight at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
