Celebrity Big Brother 2025 LIVE: Mickey Rourke axed from CBB house after ‘threatening and aggressive’ behaviour

CBB star terrified he'd be 'cancelled'

Corrie star Jack P. Shepherd said his co-star Colson Smith - who placed third in last year's series - influenced him to join the show.

But speaking exclusively to The Sun's TV Mag, the star admitted fears of being "cancelled".

He said: "I have to know someone on the inside to make sure I'm not going to get cancelled.

"That's everyone's fundamental concern, isn't it? That's the biggest one.

'"What happens if I go in there and I've no career [after] or people hate me?'"

He added: "Or I get booed and heckled. Having Cols on the inside and telling me what it's all about, I think it'll be fine."

CBB in huge shake-up

Tory MP Michael Fabricant, 74, was the first housemate to be evicted last night.

As he was shown the door, fans noticed a change in the show's format.

Michael took part in his eviction interview with hosts AJ and Will during the main show.

In the past, housemates' exit chat would be aired during the spin off show, Late&Live.

Taking to twitter/X one fan wrote: "Eviction interviews are back on the main show, on ITV1, outside the house with the main show audience!"

Patsy broke down in tears

Patsy Palmer broke down in tears in the Big Brother house tonight after Mickey Rourke took another brutal swipe at her.

Mickey has been complaining about her cooking all week, despite the fact that the rest of the house have praised the soap legend's efforts in the kitchen.

And tonight Mickey couldn't resist taking another pop at Patsy, telling her once again at the dinner table that her food isn't up to scratch.

Sniping in front of the other housemates, he said to Patsy: "What do you know, you can't cook."

"I can't cook?" asked a stunned Patsy.

"No, not even a little bit," doubled down Mickey.

And while Patsy brushed it off, saying she was used to being ribbed as she has kids, she then broke down in tears in the privacy of the diary room.

CBB's most explosive rows

The new season of Celebrity Big Brother was off to a dramatic start with a race row, homophobic remarks, 'wig' questions and tensions between housemates.

But with the stars (and their egos) all living in extremely close quarters, there is always going to be ruffled feathers.

CBB has seen many explosive rows throughout the years from stars quitting the show to security being forced to rush in.

'She was stereotyping me'

After the Islamophobia accusations, Michael was seen in the Diary Room talking to Big Brother about the incident.

He said: "Trisha was jumping to conclusions about what I was getting at.

"She was stereotyping me as a Conservative and jumped to Islamophobic, which is definitely not me.

"It was a bit simplistic for her to jump to and I didn't like it."

He garnered support from fellow housemates Chris Hughes and Chesney.

Chesney told Michael: "I don't know why Trisha went into the Islamophobia thing. I thought that was a bit weird, because you weren't talking about that."

Chris added: "You didn't say anything Islamophobic. You did good up there, well done."

Celebrity Big Brother airs every weekday at 9pm and on Sundays at 10pm.
