Mickey Rourke is reportedly planning to sue Celebrity Big Brother bosses after they ‘cost him a big pay day’ by booting him out.

The actor, 72, was kicked out of the house on Saturday for inappropriate behaviour, after launching a homophobic and misogynistic tirade against JoJo Siwa, squaring up to Chris Hughes and making a sexual comment to Ella Rae Wise.

Mickey’s ejection came after he exploded into a foul-mouthed rant amid an aggressive altercation with Love Island’s Chris, 32.

But he is now reportedly eyeing up a lawsuit against show bosses, claiming they purposely kicked him out on Saturday to avoid giving him the big pay out he believes he deserves – after his earnings were slashed following his removal.

He initially landed an eye-popping payday of £500,000 to appear on the show, but the disgraced star will now walk away with just £50,000, according to The Sun.

TMZ has reported that Mickey was in financial turmoil and signed up to the show to pay off debts – but the amount he is now walking away with covers his hotel bill and no more.

The publication claimed Mickey’s representative Kimberly Hines said he was promised ‘five-star’ accommodation – but on the flight over was informed producers would cover just £300 a night.

This was after he had already splashed out booking a lavish hotel for himself and his team, leaving the ‘broke’ actor to foot the hefty bill of £50,000.

The star has also claimed that if he had stayed in for an extra day, he would have been contractually eligible for a lot more money.

Hines reportedly said that producers were aware Mickey was a ‘verbal loose cannon’ and used him for the on-screen drama before ‘sending him out with barely a ride to the airport’.

MailOnline has contacted representatives for Mickey, ITV and Banijay UK – who produces the series and manages cast contracts – for comment.

Mickey was given the boot for his repeated ‘offensive and inappropriate’ language, which included making vile sexual remarks towards Ella, 24; issuing homophobic threats to JoJo, 21; and squaring up to Chris.

The final confrontation occurred during the 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 among us, Captain’ since-evicted housemate 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 at 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.

‘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.
