Celebrity Big Brother viewers were left bemused after spotting an unlikely new feud in the aftermath of Mickey Rourke’s removal from the house during Sunday’s show.
As the stars learned of the Hollywood actor’s fate TV Angellica Bell, 49, snapped at EastEnders actress Patsy Palmer, 52.
The broadcaster was chatting to comedian Donna Preston, 38, when the soap star misheard and thought the funny woman was also planning to join Mickey out the door.
Patsy asked: ‘Are you staying?’ only for an emotional Angelica to snap: ‘You just came over and you asked her if she was okay, what about me?’.
Choking back tears she went on: ‘You rarely ask me if I’m okay’ leaving an apologetic Patsy to clarify: ‘Oh Ange, I’m sorry, I just thought I heard her say she was leaving’.
Angellica said: ‘Because it does affect all of us’ to which the soap actress agreed before they shared a hug.

Bemused fans took to X writing: ‘What is going on in this CBB. Did Angellica Bell just front Patsy Palmer for not asking how she was?’: ‘Thought Angellica was gonna square up to Patsy then WTF?!’: ‘Can’t stop replaying the Angellica “what about me” moment. Genuinely thought she was joking for a second. Was she having a dig at Patsy?’.
‘Angellica absolutely CHOKING to be involved in that chat with Patsy and Donna?? That was so random and weird’: ‘Literally thought Angellica was joking then but she wasn’t’: ‘I honestly though Angellica was joking in character when she snapped at Pasty, what’s all that about??’.
Hollywood actor Mickey, 72, was thrown out of the ITV house after exploding into a foul-mouthed rant amid an altercation with Love Island’s Chris Hughes and bringing Ella Rae Wise to tears with inappropriate sexual language.
The confrontation occurred during the latest pirate themed shopping task when Mickey accused Chris, 32, of ‘eyeballing’ him’ before calling the reality star a ‘c***’.
It began when JoJo Siwa, 21, 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’.
After being called again by Big Brother he headed to the Diary Room and Chris told his fellow housemates ‘Mickey’s just Mickey, you know what I mean’.
But Ella Rae Wise was left emotional by the altercation, saying: ‘It’s fine, you can be just someone, but be mindful of what it can trigger in other people, because it’s made me feel very uneasy’.
During the pirates task, she told the group: ‘I have instructions for us all. We’re not allowed in the bedroom, no one is allowed to touch the crisps or sweets.’
Mickey replied: ‘I don’t like them anyway’
‘You’ve got to come with me’, Ella responded.
Mickey shockingly replied: ‘Come in you.’
Danny Beard interjected: ‘Mickey, you can’t make them jokes.’
In the Diary Room Big Brother told Mickey: ‘Earlier today in a disagreement with Chris, your language and behaviour was threatening and aggressive’.
‘Big Brother does not tolerate threatening language or behaviour. In addition, you have used inappropriate sexual 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 homophobic 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.
Mickey responded: ‘I blame myself, I know it was my bad. You know, I’ve got a short fuse and I know I upset a lot of people out there, you know. And I’m sorry for that. I’m actually ashamed of myself for getting that hot’.
‘I went over the line, you know, I did wrong. I guess, like they say, I’m a work in progress. I just wanna pack my bags and leave, you know. I wanted to leave yesterday actually but I wasn’t chosen.’
It comes after a spokesperson for Celebrity Big Brother confirmed the news saying: ‘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.’
Meanwhile, rumours are stirring that Mickey will not be receiving his full £500,000 fee after being booted from the show, a source told The Sun.
Earlier his week he was branded a ‘homophobe’ after he left dancer JoJo, 21, in tears after he insinuated he would be able to ‘make her straight’ during their time in the house and branded her a ‘f*g’.
Mickey asked Chris if everyone had to vote one another out of the house as the Wrestler star confessed: ‘I’m going to vote the lesbian out real quick.’
JoJo overheard as she hit back: ‘That’s homophobic, if that was your reasoning.’
Defending JoJo, Chris interjected, ‘You can’t do that Mickey,’ yet the star was undeterred as he added: ‘I need a f*g’ before gesturing to JoJo and adding: ‘I’m not talking to you.’
