Celebrity Big Brother star Ella Rae Wise has criticised fellow housemate Chesney Hawkes for not “standing up” to Mickey Rourke.
As a result of his “inappropriate language” towards the TOWIE star and his “threatening and aggressive” attitude towards fellow housemate Chris Hughes, Mickey Rourke agreed to leave the house earlier this month.
During Monday night’s show, Ella, put Chesney Hawkes, up for eviction, saying the singer had failed to defend her when the Hollywood actor made “jokes” that made her uneasy.
She told Chesney: “My first nomination is Chesney, just because when a certain someone was here that didn’t make me feel comfortable, I feel like when certain jokes were made you was in the same area, and as a man, you should have stood and said ‘that’s not okay.'”
“And then after you did say to me that you’re sorry, that you didn’t feel as if you stood up for me as you should, but then still continue to faff about… and talk about Mickey every day.”
Chesney apologised to Ella following these comments, saying: “I’m sorry you feel that way. I’m sorry I did that.”

Ella later apologised to Chesney for upsetting him, before adding: “I just felt some, maybe just a little bit of protection would have been nice.”
The singer replied: “I’m sorry that you felt uncomfortable at all ever in this house. It absolutely would kill me to think that you thought that I would not be a man and stand up to that.”
“I’m so sorry that you felt that way. I really am, and I’m sorry that you had to go through that with him,” Chesney told the reality star.
The statement comes shortly after it was reported that Mickey Rourke is reportedly “planning to sue ITV” after it was revealed the Hollywood actor reportedly faces a cut from £500,000 to $50,000 according to The Sun.
the actor is now reportedly considering a lawsuit against ITV bosses, alleging they purposely ejected him in order to avoid giving him the big pay out.
According to TMZ, Mickey was in financial trouble and signed up for the show to pay off bills; however, the sum he is taking home only covers his hotel cost.
Mickey’s rep Kimberly Hines reportedly told the publication that Mickey was promised “five star” accommodation, however, on the flight over he was informed they would only cover up to $300 a night.
The reportedly “broke” actor was left to pay the enormous £50,000 bill after he had already spent a lot of money on a luxurious hotel for himself and his crew.
Kimberly also claimed the shows producers were “well aware Mickey’s a verbal loose cannon,” and that they “got exactly what they wanted from him before “sending him out with barely a ride to the airport.”
