In an awkward encounter, the actor - who had just been introduced to the audience - twirled AJ around before pulling her towards him resulting in the pair bumping into one another.

When fellow host Will Best asked if he could win, Mickey, 72, paused for a while and said: "I haven't thought about it".

The New York-born star then turned to AJ and began to look her up and down, before saying: "Nice outfit."

The host replied: "Thank you. Thank you so much."

However, when Mickey continued to ogle AJ, she raised her voice slightly and said: "Stop looking at me."

Moments later, AJ and Will had to physically escort the Sin City star into the house as his slow pace threatened to delay the live show.

Arriving in the compound, the actor - who won a Bafta for his role in the acclaimed 2008 film The Wrestler - was greeted by housemates doing a massive conga.

Ahead of the show, party animal Mickey said: "I have no expectations. I’ve never seen it. I'm just going to go in, do my thing, and we'll see."

In the spin-off programme Big Brother: Late & Live, guest Alan Carr joked the Nine 1/2 Weeks star's "tongue was hanging out".

He said: "Can we talk about Mickey Rourke looking at you? Wow his eyes.

"Find someone who looks at you the way Mickey looks at you [AJ]. His tongue was hanging out."

AJ replied: "It literally was. I was like 'You can't afford these feathers Mickey, no'."

The studio crowd weren't impressed by his antics and let out boos as the moment was discussed.

And those at home weren't keen either, with one writing on X: "why are they brushing over Mickey being pervy."

Another said: "Who told Mickey Rourke this was a good idea."

A third posted: "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."

One concerned X user posted: "Scared for all the women in that house now with how Mickey was with AJ on live television mind you."

Following news that Mickey was taking part in the reality show, some of his friends expressed fears he could end up “cancelling” himself due to his hellraising antics.

A source said: “Mickey is a real character and has a very unique way of going about things.

"He is outspoken and isn’t afraid to say what’s on his mind. He’s proud of his body and loves walking around naked.”
