MICKEY Rourke has today been slammed as a "disgusting and dangerous pig" by Jojo Siwa's furious partner, who demanded viewers "vote him out".

It all kicked off in the Celebrity Big Brother house after Mickey left JoJo in tears with a string of homophobic comments last night.

Viewers watched in horror as the Hollywood star, 72, called JoJo, 21, a 'f**' and insinuated he could "make her straight" during their time in the house.

Now the Dance Moms star's partner Kath, who identifies as non-binary, shared their outrage on Instagram, demanding Rourke is booted off the show.

While they praised and thanked Chris Hughes for "backing" their partner, they went onto to fume about the Wrestler actor's behaviour.

Addressing their followers, they said: "A lot of people want to know my thoughts on Mickey Rourke, or however the f*** you say his last name, on his comments towards my partner JoJo on Big Brother.

"And quite frankly it is beyond disgusting and it's literally taken me many hours to even process what the f*** I just watched.

"Not only because that is the literal love of my life and I want to protect her at all costs, and I feel so helpless that I cannot be there to not only comfort her, but to also lose it at that weasel of a man.

"But secondly take the fact out that I have massive emotional stakes in the comments towards her."

MICKEY BACKLASH

It all kicked off following a chat between Mickey and JoJo in which the actor suggested he would be able to change the gay singer's sexuality.

"Do you like girls or boys?" he asked her, during a conversation in the smoking area.

JoJo replied: "Me? Girls. My partner is non-binary."

Mickey then left her stunned when he replied: "If I stay longer than four days, you won’t be gay anymore."

Mickey Rourke warned by Big Brother after ‘homophobic slur’

Putting him in his place, JoJo told him in no uncertain terms: "I can guarantee I’ll still be gay and I’ll still be in a very happy relationship."

To make matters worse, Mickey then used a homophobic slur towards JoJo when he was chatting to Chris in the garden.

First he referred to her as "that lesbian" who he would "vote out first" and JoJo overheard.

Firing back, she told him: "That’s homophobic, if that was your reasoning."

Doubling down after being chastised by Chris, Mickey then said: "I need a fag," while looking at JoJo and added: "I'm not talking to you."

Once again, he was told off by Chris, but JoJo was left sobbing by the exchange.

FORMAL WARNING

Big Brother then called Mickey to the diary room and he was given a formal warning and told his language and behaviour was unacceptable.

"I apologise. I don’t have dishonourable intentions - I’m just talking smack, you know?" Mickey said.

Mickey explained to the other housemates that what he said to JoJo he "didn’t say it out of meanness".

Chris then stepped and said: “I understand you might have thought it would be un-insulting but it’s the way it’s perceived on other people.

“JoJo was very upset earlier, bless her.”

Mickey then turned to JoJo and said: “You were? Sorry. Are we OK?”

JoJo nodded but remined him: “As a future, using the word f** is not an acceptable word.”

Celebrity Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
