Hollywood actor Mickey was furious after being thrown the side eye by Chris who hit back: “Mickey it was a joke, f***ing…”
In a preview clip ahead of tonight's show, Mickey cut in, telling the Love Island star aggressively: “Don’t f***ing eyeball me. You c***.”
Housemates try to diffuse the situation, as Danny insists: “He was joking. He was joking. He was joking.”
Chris then tells Mickey to “f***ing stand there” before Danny and Daley step in between the pair.

Big Brother then intervened, saying: “This is Big Brother. Mickey, come to the diary room immediately.”
Mickey points to the ground and appears to threaten Chris by telling him: “No, your a** will be right there in a second.”
Big Brother stepped in once again, insisting: “Mickey, come to the diary room immediately.”
After Mickey eventually heads into the diary room, Big Brother tells him:“Mickey, Big Brother needs to speak to you about your behaviour.

“Earlier today in a disagreement with Chris, your language and behaviour was threatening and aggressive.
"Big Brother does not tolerate threatening language or behaviour. In addition, you have used inappropriate sexual language to Ella.”

Mickey added: “Oh, I’m not aware of that but okay.”
Big Brother says: “This language has caused offence to your fellow housemates and could cause offence to the viewing public. This is not the first time Big Brother has had to speak to you about your offensive and inappropriate language.”
Mickey says, “Yes sir. I did wrong. I apologise. I’m sorry. I can’t take it back, you know, I stepped over the line. And I take responsibility for doing the wrong thing.
"Because I lost my temper, and I’ve been trying to work on it my whole life and I wish I would have had better self-control and I’m very sorry.
"I’m ashamed of myself for losing it for a few seconds there. Nobody got touched or hurt.
"Maybe some feelings got hurt or maybe others have feelings about others getting upset but, you know, I’m sorry about that.”
Big Brother then tells Mickey his language and behaviour was "seriously unacceptable", adding: "As a result Big Brother has no option but to ask you to leave the Big Brother house.”
Mickey responded saying: “I blame myself, I know it was my bad. You know, I’ve got a short fuse and I know I upset a lot of people out there, you know. And I’m sorry for that.
"I’m actually ashamed of myself for getting that hot.
"I went over the line, you know, I did wrong. I guess, like they say, I’m a work in progress.
"I just wanna pack my bags and leave, you know. I wanted to leave yesterday actually but I wasn’t chosen.
The Sun revealed today how ITV bosses have slashed Mickey's £500,000 show fee after he repeatedly caused chaos in the house.
A source said: “Mickey won’t be receiving all his money from ITV.
“If a celebrity gets removed from the house, they don't get the full fee. It’s as simple as that and they will be discussing that with him.
“Mickey was ready to leave the house and it ended up feeling like a mutual decision between him and ITV in the end. It was getting too much."
Mickey, who won a Bafta and was Oscar-nominated for 2008 film The Wrestler, first fell foul of his fellow housemates when he directed offensive slurs at US singer JoJo Siwa, who is a lesbian.
Chris and Mickey first clashed when the latter aimed shocking homophobic slurs at JoJo Siwa, who is gay.
Discussing nominations, Mickey said: “I’m going to vote the lesbian out real quick.”
But Chris quickly fired back: “You can’t say that.”
During his short-lived time in the house Mickey also reduced Patsy Palmer to tears by repeatedly criticising her cooking.
Sniping in front of the other housemates, he said to Patsy: "What do you know, you can't cook."
"I can't cook?" asked a stunned Patsy.

"No, not even a little bit," doubled down Mickey
Patsy managed to brush it off at the time but headed to the Diary Room where she ended up breaking down.
