Mickey Rourke has reportedly had his Celebrity Big Brother fee dramatically slashed by a whopping 90% following his axe from the house.
The Hollywood actor, 72, was booted due to his repeated ‘offensive and inappropriate’ language, which included making vile s3xual remarks towards Ella Rae Wise, 24; issuing h0m0ph0bic threats to JoJo Siwa, 24; and squaring up to Chris Hughes, 32.
After initially landing an eye-popping ITV payday of £500K, the disgraced star will now walk away with just £50,000, according to The Sun.
A source said: ‘Mickey didn’t do Celebrity Big Brother for the experience and was counting on that money.
‘He’s lost a huge amount by leaving the show early. It was worked out on a pro rata basis. Conversations are ongoing so the fee may change but a contract is a contract.’
MailOnline have contacted ITV and Mickey’s reps for comment.

Fans rejoiced on X after Mickey was ‘finally’ removed from the house following a string of incidents that left his co-stars and viewers at home uncomfortable.
Meanwhile Michael Fabricant, who became the first star evicted, claimed that show bosses did not broadcast all of Mickey’s offensive behaviour.
Taking to X the former Tory PM, 74, told how what viewers saw on TV was only a fraction of what occurred in the house.
Responding to a user’s comment regarding Mickey’s h0moph0bic ‘f*g’ slur aimed at JoJo, Michael responded: ‘Yeah, but that wasn’t said in isolation. There was a lot more, some of which could not be broadcast.’
Michael didn’t elaborate further on the apparent other offensive things Mickey did during his short stint in the famous abode.
Meanwhile during an appearance on This Morning, Michael went on to reveal something that the film star said early on in the show: ‘He was always on another planet, he told me on Monday that he was going to be out on Thursday and when Jack said to him, “Was it in your contract?”‘.
‘He goes, ‘Hey man, I never read no contracts, it’s what my agent told me.’

Mickey Rourke kicked out of Celebrity Big Brother house for behaviour
Following Mickey’s exit, fans rushed to X: ‘Now we can celebrate, good riddance to Mickey. Never liked him, didn’t know who he was even before he came on the show’,
‘Finally! Mickey Rourke has left I already knew he would leave tonight! Bye bye Mickey Rourke!!’,
‘Big brother want Mickey out. YES! he just disgusting human being #BBUK #CBBUK’,
‘Mickey Rourke is a creep. I’m glad he was removed from the house. He made far too many people feel uneasy, upset, and he crossed the line numerous times. #CBBUK’,
‘Mickey Rourke can go back to rotting in his cave with no friends and ugly greasy hair and no job offers coming in ever again! SEE YA! #CBB #CBBUK’
The final confrontation occurred during the latest pirate themed shopping task when Mickey accused Chris of ‘eyeballing’ him’ before calling the reality star a ‘c***’.
It began when JoJo who had been given the role of captain, lined up her fellow housemates, asking: ‘Ahoy. How have things been going out here?’.
‘There is a rat amongst us, Captain’ Trisha Goddard, 67, said and when Chris turned to Mickey, the actor fumed: ‘You looking at me?’.
While JoJo attempted to defuse the situation and Chris assured Mickey it was simply a joke, the actor exploded: ‘Don’t eyeball me’.
‘Don’t f***ing eyeball me. You c***’ he went on, as more housemates continued to try and calm the furious actor down. As tensions boiled, Chris said: ‘F***ing stand there’ before Mickey was told to go to the diary room ‘immediately’.
‘Mickey, it was a joke’ Chris said again, only for the actor to point and the ground and reply: ‘No, your a** will be right there in a second’.In the Diary Room Big Brother told Mickey: ‘Earlier today in a disagreement with Chris, your language and behaviour was threatening and aggressive’.

Mickey Rourke says he tried his ‘hardest’ to leave
‘Big Brother does not tolerate threatening language or behaviour. In addition, you have used inappropriate s3xual language to Ella’.
Big Brother reminded Mickey that this was not the first time he had been spoken to about his ‘offensive and inappropriate’ language – after making h0moph0bic comments to JoJo and offending other members of the house earlier in the week.
He proffered: ‘Yes sir. I did wrong. I apologise. I’m sorry. I can’t take it back, you know, I stepped over the line. And I take responsibility for doing the wrong thing. ‘Cause I lost my temper, and I’ve been trying to work on it my whole life and I wish I would have had better self-control and I’m very sorry’.
‘I’m ashamed of myself for losing it for a few seconds there. Nobody got touched or hurt. Maybe some feelings got hurt or maybe others have feelings about others getting upset but, you know, I’m sorry about that’.
However Big Brother said that his behaviour was considered ‘seriously unacceptable’ and they had ‘no option’ but to ask him to leave.
