Mickey Rourke 'agrees to leave' the Celebrity Big Brother house following repeated warnings from producers.

Micky Rourke has left the Celebrity Big Brother house this evening following repeated warnings over his behaviour.

Earlier this week the 72-year-old actor was reprimanded for his comments towards JoJo Siwa, having referred to her as "the lesbian" and made the derogatory slur "fag".

Rourke has made further inappropriate remarks since but the final straw came during a "disagreement" with Chris Hughes during a task in which his language "was considered to be threatening and aggressive, but no physical altercation took place".

A show spokesperson said: "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."

The scenes will play out in Sunday night's episode of Celebrity Big Brother at 10pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
