"Do you like girls or boys?" he asked her, during a conversation in the smoking area.
JoJo replied: "Me? Girls. My partner is non-binary."
Mickey then left her stunned when he replied: "If I stay longer than four days, you won’t be gay anymore."
He later appeared to refer to the young woman as a "f**", although he claimed he was talking about a cigarette.
Big Brother then gave the Wrestler star a formal warning and told his language and behaviour was unacceptable.
He immediately said "sorry" to JoJo, who accepted his apology.
