Celebrity Big Brother star Michael Fabricant has claimed that show bosses did not broadcast all of Mickey Rourke’s offensive behaviour.
The Hollywood actor, 72, was booted due to his repeated ‘offensive and inappropriate’ language, which included making vile sexual remarks towards Ella Rae Wise, 24; issuing homophobic threats at JoJo Siwa, 24; and squaring up to Chris Hughes, 32.
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.
And days after becoming the first housemate to be evicted last week, the politician, 74, told how what viewers saw on TV was only a fraction of Michael’s bad behaviour.
Responding to a user’s comment regarding Mickey’s homophobic ‘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.

MailOnline have contacted Big Brother representatives for comment.
Mickey – who launched a homophobic and misogynistic tirade at JoJo last week – was ‘finally’ booted out of the house during Sunday night’s episode for his behaviour.
The star was thrown out of the ITV house on Saturday after exploding into a foul-mouthed rant amid an altercation with Chris and bringing Ella to tears with inappropriate sexual language.
His £500,000 fee for the show will reportedly be slashed following his removal from the house due to repeated ‘offensive and inappropriate’ language.
Meanwhile, Michael recently revealed the comment Mickey made before leaving Celebrity Big Brother that was never aired.
He appeared on This Morning alongside Big Brother host Will Best, 40, and shared his take on Mickey Rourke’s unplanned exit to presenters Allison Hammond, 50, and Dermot O’Leary, 51.
‘He was completely unpredictable,’ the former Tory MP said of Mickey.
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.’
Michael also shared that Mickey didn’t seem to be aware of where the Diary Room was located at times.
‘He seemed to forget where the diary room was, he thought we were talking about a dining room,’ Michael said.
Will added: ‘That was on the first day, I don’t think he was massively au fait with the nuts and bolts of the show, the format. He wasn’t necessarily a BB super fan before.’
During Sunday’s episode, Big Brother spoke to Mickey about his behaviour towards Ella and Chris in the Diary Room and he apologised.
However, he was later asked to leave the ITV house and a spokesperson for Celebrity Big Brother revealed the news of Mickey’s departure with a statement late Saturday.
It read: ‘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.’
Taking to X upon news of his exit, fans shared their joy at Mickey finally being booted out of the house.
