Producers then called Mickey into the Diary Room, where he was told: “Before you entered the Big Brother house, the rules regarding unacceptable language and behaviour were explained to you.
“Mickey, do you understand how this language could be offensive to your Housemates or the viewing public?”
“I think so. If I was saying it in a nasty kind of way or if I truly meant it,” he explained, after which he was told that his language was “offensive and unacceptable” and was thus being given a “formal warning”.
“Further language or behaviour of this nature could lead to you being removed from the Big Brother house,” Mickey was then told, before saying: “I [understand]. It’s some serious stuff.
“I apologise. I don’t have dishonourable intentions – I’m just talking smack, you know? I wasn’t taking it all so serious. I didn’t mean in it any bad intentions and if I did, sorry.”
Mickey then apologised to Jojo directly, with the former child star telling him: “[In the] future, using the word f*g is not an acceptable word.”
“I want to apologise,” he told her towards the end of the episode. “I’ve got a habit of having a short fuse. And I don’t mean nothing by it. I do mean it [sorry]. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t say it to you.”
She then replied: “I appreciate your apology.”
Mickey had already sparked controversy earlier in the series, after pulling CBB host AJ Odudu close to him on his way into the house, prompting the presenter to tell him: “Stop looking at me!”
Celebrity Big Brother continues on Thursday night at 9pm on ITV1.
