Mickey struggled to remember his housemates names
It came as Mickey was the first celebrity invited into Big Brother’s Prize Room, where he seemed to struggle to understand the instructions.
As Big Brother chatted to him, he fiddled with the prizes in the room and looked unsure of what was happening.
When Big Brother asked Mickey how he was feeling, he said: “50/50, you?”
He later confessed to being “only a little confused” over the choices Big Brother offered him in the game, and struggled to remember his housemates’ names.
At one point he referred to Brit Chris Hughes as being from Australia, and struggled to grasp that the prize he was awarding Chris was a takeaway food delivery, rather than the scooter the prize card was resting on.
The star was then tasked with choosing between three power prizes: Immunity, which would grant himself immunity in the next eviction, The Guardian Angel power, which allowed him to select a housemate to receive immunity, or The Killer Nomination, which would give him the chance to put one housemate up for the vote.
Mickey chose the Guardian Angel power, but many watching at home expressed fears that he was struggling.
“It’s so uncomfortable to watch mickey because he genuinely doesn’t have a clue what’s going on and not even in a funny way,” one viewer wrote on X.
“Mickey is so confused constantly is he ok to be left alone?” added another.
“Poor Mikey he seems so lost.” weighed in a third.

“He has no idea what he’s doing does he,” agreed a fourth.
“Is Mickey even aware of where he is and what he’s doing?” chipped in a fifth.
Later in the episode, a chat between Mickey and Trisha saw him admit being in the house was hard for him.
He said: This is not easy here for me. I decided to isolate and live alone and not have any relationships about six years ago. So, a lot of good stuff is coming to me from just being alone.”

At another point, Mickey sat alone on the sofa before passing out asleep.
He also appeared confused about when the show was actually filming them.
“Is this a break from filming?” he asked Chesney Hawkes at one point.
It comes as Mickey sparked a backlash last night during the launch show for ‘grabbing’ host AJ Odudu as he walked into the house.
He told her she was wearing a “nice outfit” and looked her up and down.
He then grabbed her for a twirl, causing her to bump into him.
Many viewers were not impressed.
Writing on social media, one said: “Can we all agree we’re voting Mickey out this week.”
Another viewer also predicted the American’s early exit, writing: “Mickey Rourke will be out of the house first, mark my words.”
