The drama is set to continue on tonight’s instalment of Celebrity Big Brother as another famous housemate faces the consequences for breaking the rules. The latest scandal comes in the wake of Mickey Rourke’s exit from the house over the weekend following a string of offences.
The Hollywood actor received a formal warning from Big Brother earlier in the week for “unacceptable language and behaviour” directed at JoJo Siwa. Love Island star Chris Hughes, 32, comforted JoJo during Wednesday’s episode after Rourke said he would “vote the lesbian out real quick”.
Rourke was told to leave the reality programme in Sunday’s episode after “further use of inappropriate language” and “instances of unacceptable behaviour”. This included swearing at Chris and “sexual language” towards TOWIE star Ella Rae Wise.
Fresh from Rourke being booted out of the house, the BAFTA winning actor’s rival Chris is now feeling the wrath of Big Brother. “RULE BREAK ALERT,” the official Twitter (X) account for Celebrity Big Brother wrote on the platform this morning.
“At 3:14pm in the garden, Chris said, ‘I guess I know who Trisha and Patsy are going to vote for… They’ll probably vote for each other, that’s fair after yesterday.’ As a punishment, he will be put in the wheelie bin of shame and have to write an apology rap. #CBBUK #BBLL.”
Chris being forced to write an apology rap is seemingly a nod to his infamous offer to freestyle during his time in the Love Island villa back in 2017. Fans of the ITV2 dating series were left in hysterics thanks to Chris asking “Do you want me to rap anyone? Lighten the mood a bit” during a tense moment around the firepit.
The TV personality has developed a close bond with former Dance Moms star JoJo Siwa during his time in the house so far. Chris’ brother discussed his sibling’s budding friendship during a chat with Kate Garraway on this morning’s edition of Lorraine.

“The other thing that’s got people talking is Chris and this back tickling last night with JoJo, we know that they’re close but there they are lying in bed and he’s ticking her back, what’s going on there?” Kate asked Ben Hughes on the ITV show.
Ben replied: “I actually think that maybe they’ve formed a great friendship due to the fact that Chris stood up for JoJo. I think JoJo is in a solid relationship, Chris will know that and I just think that they’ve got each other’s backs.” Kate joked: “Literally, as it turns out.”
JoJo has accused her housemate, Ella Rae Wise, of spreading drama about her and Chris. The 21-year-old former Dance Moms cast member nominated The Only Way Is Essex star Ella as the contestant she wants to be up for leaving the ITV reality show in the next eviction.
Explaining her choice in the yet-to-be aired scenes, JoJo said: “I find that conversations with Ella… (are) very forced and (I) feel like I really have try to come up with something to talk about. I feel like I’m really on eggshells.
“I overheard her say something today when I was in the garden with Chris – (she said) something about me and Chris whispering at night. And so that got me thinking, (she is) trying to spread drama in a way, and, I don’t know, I feel like it’s an interesting dynamic, I don’t like gossip.”
The singer and YouTuber added in the preview clip on Celebrity Big Brother: Late And Live that she enjoys “silly gossip”. However, she said that “catty” gossip, which takes place behind someone’s back, is “not for me, and I don’t think it’s for this house, I think it can kill the vibes”.
