Hollywood star Mickey Rourke is reportedly considering legal action against ITV after his sudden removal from Celebrity Big Brother, claiming he was unfairly axed just before he became eligible for a major payday.
The 72-year-old actor was booted from the house following multiple incidents involving inappropriate language and behaviour. But his team now believes it wasn’t just about his on-screen antics. Rourke’s rep, Kimberly Hines, told The Sun that they’re “weighing a lawsuit against ITV,” claiming he was “deliberately removed” just a day before triggering a clause in his contract that would’ve seen him earn significantly more.
