Celebrity Big Brother fans were quick to notice that host AJ Odudu appeared to take drastic steps after her extremely uncomfortable encounter with Mickey Rourke during the launch show. The Hollywood actor faces eviction tonight alongside Jack P Shepherd and Michael Fabricant.
Advertisement Since entering the house on Monday night, Rourke has stirred up controversy among viewers and housemates alike. His offensive comments, including a homophobic remark directed at JoJo Siwa and fat-shaming Donna Preston, have sparked widespread backlash. Even before all the celebrities had entered the house, fans were outraged by his behavior—especially his inappropriate actions toward AJ during the live show. As he grabbed her and attempted to pull her into the house, AJ exclaimed, “Stop looking at me!” prompting many viewers to flood Instagram with concern for her well-being.
Viewers filed complaints with Ofcom over the moment Mickey, 72, openly expressed his interest in AJ, who looked stunning in a form-fitting outfit adorned with sparkling gems and feathers.
However, for Friday night’s episode, AJ chose a noticeably different look from her usual style. She wore a full suit and shirt for the live show, leading many fans to believe the outfit change was influenced by her interaction with Mickey.

AJ might come face to face with Mickey once again, as he’s up for eviction. Fans were quick to speculate about her outfit choice. One 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.”
A third 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’.”
Many fans praised AJ for her outfit and showered her with compliments. One said: “AJ looking fierce. No messing!” while another added: “AJ & Will looking slick with their attire this evening.”
On Monday night, AJ and co-host Will Best attempted to guide the actor into the house, but he kept staring at AJ, looking her up and down and pouting before grabbing her and saying: “I’m gonna stay with you.”
“Stop looking at me,” AJ responded, before the situation escalated as Mickey tried to pull her along with him, seemingly determined to keep her by his side during the show. Will stepped in, taking AJ’s hand and putting his arm around her—an action that fans quickly praised online.
Amid the wave of support from viewers, AJ later spoke out and said: “The return of CBB with the most major lineup and interesting encounters.” She embraced the moment by adding a cheeky winking emoji with its tongue out.
AJ thanked fans for the overwhelming support she received after the incident, while staying optimistic about what’s to come.
Thanks for all your lovely messages. This series is going to be [fire emoji].
