MICKEY Rourke has waded into another controversy after ‘weight shaming’ Celebrity Big Brother housemate Donna Preston.
Hours after he got a formal warning for upsetting JoJo Siwa by using a homophobic slur, The Wrestler star, 72, left Donna stunned when he made a strange remark in the bedroom.

The comedian was wearing an LED facemask while lying on the bed.
When Mickey asked her if she was seeing any results, she told him she had only been using the mask for a few months.
“You’d probably be better off running round the block for ten minutes,” he responded.
“I’ve got to try something, ” Donna added. “I’m getting a little turkey neck.”
Mickey then responded: “It comes with the territory.”
Confused, Donna asked: “What, life?”
“Yeah,” Mikey replied, adding: “It’s like they say, you are what you eat.”
Clearly thrown, Donna nodded before Patsy stuck up for her, saying: “You eat really healthy though, don’t you?”
“I do now, yeah, very healthy” Donna replied.
Later, when she left the bedroom, Donna expressed her disbelief to Danny Beard and Ella Rae Wise.
While she laughed, she seemed flabbergasted as she recounted the conversation she had with Mickey.
After repeating his ‘You are what you eat’ comment, Danny responded: “You what, did he think you were gonna lose half a f***ing stone just by putting an LED mask on?”
“I was just like, I’m just trying to get rid of a couple of wrinkles on my turkey neck,” Donna said.
“He has got the worst way of words, hasn’t he?” Ella commented.

“Is he f***ing having a laugh?” Donna then said, before repeating Mickey’s words back again.
“This is it though, when you have a bigger body, people think they have a right to comment,” Danny explained.
But Donna got her revenge, sniping about Mikey: “Yeah, and I’m not being funny, I’ve seen a french bulldog with a better f***ing body. Cheeky b***ard.”
Mickey’s comments certainly angered viewers watching at home.
One vented on X: £We know what Mickey was tryna imply when he said ‘comes with the territory/u are what u eat'”.
A second agreed: “So he’s been homophobic to JoJo and commented on Donna’s weight for NO reason… someone get Mickey out, I’m so on edge about what he’s gonna say next.”
And a third fumed: “What right does Mickey Rourke have to think he can speak to women the way he does? He’s now clearly body shaming Donna who’s only talking about making lifestyle changes for her own benefit. The bloke’s a pig who’s trapped in the dark ages.”
