Having landed back in LA, a content creator queried Mickey, 72, about his time in Celebrity Big Brother.
They asked him, among other questions: “What would you say to JoJo Siwa? Do you have any comments for JoJo?”
Looking perplexed, Mickey replied by asking: “Who’s that?”
“She was on the show with you – JoJo Siwa”, the content creator reminded him.
Viewers previously watched on as now-axed Mickey came under fire when he directed offensive slurs at US singer JoJo Siwa, who is a lesbian.
Mickey’s bad behaviour continued and he was booted off the ITV show for using threatening language, as well as making an inappropriate s3xual remark.
JoJo’s mum weighed into Mickey’s actions which lead to his departure.
Taking to social media, Dance Moms star Jessalynn Siwa wrote: “To be honest, this is exactly what I was afraid of, something physical.
“I know some people think he was making good TV and will be sad he is gone but it’s not worth it for ones in the room with him.”
The Sun revealed ITV bosses slashed Mickey’s £500,000 show fee after he repeatedly caused chaos in the house.
