Celebrity Big Brother fans were quick to point out host AJ Odudu had taken drastic measures following her very uncomfortable encounter with Mickey Rourke during the launch show. The Hollywood actor is up for eviction tonight alongside Jack P Shepherd and Michael Fabricant.
He has riled up viewers and housemates since entering the house on Monday night, including his vile homophobic comment to JoJo Siwa and fat shaming to Donna Preston. Even before all the celebrities entered the house, viewers were incensed by his actions. The fury was caused by his ‘inappropriate behaviour’ towards host AJ right as the show kicked off, with many fans taking to Instagram to ask if she was okay. She exclaimed: “Stop looking at me!,” as he grabbed onto her and tried to drag her into the house.
Ofcom was hit with complaints from viewers about the moment as Mickey, 72, made it very clear that he was taken by the star. She looked gorgeous in a form fitting outfit decorated with sparkling gems and feathers.
However for Friday night’s show, AJ opted for a very different outfit than her usual style. She rocked a full suit and shirt for the live show, with many fans thinking she made the choice because of Mickey.
AJ could have the possibility of coming face to face with him once again as he’s up for eviction. One fan said: “No catsuit for AJ tonight? Does that mean Mickey is going?” Another added: “You can tell by AJ’s outfit that Mickey is getting evicted.”
Someone else commented: “I see AJ has covered her body tonight knowing Mickey might be coming out for an ogle.” A fourth wrote: “AJ said “Mickey might come out tonight, better leave the catsuit at home”.”
“AJ’s all buttoned up in case Mickey’s out first!” exclaimed another. One fan shared: “I can see AJ has completely covered up in case Mickey is evicted…”
Many praised AJ for the look and flooded her with compliments as one said: “AJ looking fierce. No messing!” and another added: “AJ & Will looking slick with their attire this evening.”
Someone else quipped: “Wondering if AJ is wearing a suit tonight in case pervy Mickey is booted out in hope to stop him leering at her again!! Was horrible to watch!”
On Monday night, AJ and co-host Will Best tried to encourage the actor to enter the house but he continued to gaze at AJ, looking her up and pouting down before grabbing onto her and saying: “I’m gonna stay with you.”
“Stop looking at me,” AJ said, before things took a twist as Mickey tried to grab her to go with him, seemingly intent on making sure she stayed by his side throughout the show. Will got between the two by gripping AJ’s hand and putting his arm around her, with fans praising his actions online.
Amid the outpouring of support from fans, AJ spoke out and said: “The return of CBB with the most major lineup and interesting encounters.” Embracing the night, she included a cheeky winking emoji with its tongue out.
AJ expressed gratitude for the flood of supportive messages following the ordeal, yet she remains positive about the excitement ahead. She wrote: “Thanks for all your lovely messages. This series is going to be [fire emoji].”
