Mickey Rourke given an 80% chance of being evicted on Celebrity Big Brother
This year's Celebrity Big Brother is now well underway with the housemates starting to open up to each other more and more and we've now seen the first killer nomination given this series.
JoJo Siwa used her killer nomination to put 72-year-old actor Mickey Rourke up for eviction after he was given a warning over homophobic comments made towards the US Singer in the house.
Rourke has made comments about Siwa saying the he would “vote the lesbian out real quick” ahead of the first nominations of the series before adding, "I need a fag" before gesturing towards Siwa saying "I'm not talking to you".
This led to Siwa clearly upset by the situation and Rourke brought to the diary room by Big Brother who gave him his warning for offensive language to Siwa and the viewing public.
It's no surprise that Siwa then placed Rourke up for eviction using her killer nomination and now the American actor is as short as 1/4 to be the first housemate to go.

Chris Hughes remains the market leader to win the show this series
Chris Hughes was installed as favourite to win Celebrity Big Brother after the opening night of the series earlier this week and he has remained there ever since.

Hughes popularity now sees him shorten into 7/4 to win CBB with Danny Beard and Siwa following behind in the latest odds.
William Hill's latest betting market offers an implied probability of 36.4% that Hughes is crowned winner of Celebrity Big Brother this year.
