Celebrity Big Brother co-host AJ Odudu has issued a four-word response after her ‘creepy’ incident with Mickey Rourke.

The 72-year-old Hollywood star, who is best known for his roles in the films The Wrestler, Body Heat, Diner and Sin City, made his appearance on the first episode of the ITV reality show on Monday night.

However, fans slammed the actor for his ‘vile’ actions after he could be seen grabbing AJ around the waist, with some even calling it ‘harassment’.

After grabbing the co-host, the actor then twirled her around before pulling her into him, with AJ looking shocked.

AJ, remaining professional throughout, called out to him: ‘Stop looking at me! It’s time for you to get in the house!’ while her co-host Will Best also tried to bring Mickey’s attention back towards the show.

Now, AJ has broken her silence after a Late & Live viewer asked her whether she was ‘okay’ as she hosted guests Kate Lawler, David Potts and Eddie Kadi.

As the group began discussing Mickey’s baffling behaviour, AJ went around the studio asking people what they thought.

One person asked: ‘Are you okay from last night?’, to which AJ replied: ‘I’m absolutely tip-top, thanks for asking!’

Previously, the co-host appeared to have made a cryptic post on social media ahead of the latest ITV episode.

In a post with several different images from the night, AJ captioned the collage by saying: ‘The return of CBB with the most major lineup and interesting encounters [tongue out emoji].

‘Thanks for all your lovely messages. This series is going to be [fire emoji].’

AJ appeared to edit her Instagram caption, however, by using a flame emoji to describe the series after originally posting a more concerning face emoji.

Despite many fans calling for Mickey, who was reported to have been paid £500,000 to appear, it has now been confirmed that Mickey will remain a part of the programme.

The actor could be seen in the promos for tonight’s episode, as he is given power to choose certain items for the house.

He can also be seen having a conversation with Trisha Goddard on tonight’s episode, where he opens up about why he came on the show.

‘I thought let me just try something new. 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,’ he says.

‘This is not easy here for me.’

Watching on at home, many people were furious with Mickey’s actions on last night’s episode.

‘Mickey Rourke is making me uncomfy already,’ Lily posted on X.

‘Got to feel for AJ there, getting harassed live on tele trying to stay professional… Mickey first out hopefully,’ Matty shared.

‘I put money on Mickey Rourke getting kicked out within the next few days. How he treated AJ was totally unacceptable,’ Laura wrote.

Celebrity Big Brother continues on ITVX.
