Following various controversies since his arrival, the final straw came when the outspoken actor, 72, clashed with ex-Love Island star Chris Hughes.

The Angel Heart star, who was supposedly paid £500,000 (€575,800) to appear, was ejected from the house after “threatening and aggressive behaviour” directed toward Chris during a task that hadn't aired yet.

And it was allegedly the “final straw” for shocked show producers, who spoke to Mickey and mutually agreed that he would leave.
