He’s gotten an eviction notice.

Mickey Rourke was kicked out of the “Celebrity Big Brother UK” house for “threatening and aggressive” behavior days after he made “homophobic” remarks towards castmate JoJo Siwa.

On Saturday night, a spokesperson for the ITV show released a statement, saying that the former professional boxer, “agreed to leave” the house following “further use of inappropriate language and instances of unacceptable behavior.”

Rourke’s final incident came after “Love Island” star Chris Hughes gave the “Wrestler” actor the side eye while the housemates were dressed as pirates during a task.

A source told the US Sun that Rourke “didn’t like Chris disrespecting him with the side eye and went for him with loads of smack talk.”

“On this occasion, it was offensive, threatening and aggressive. However it didn’t get physical and security nor producers did not need to intervene,” the insider added.

The outlet also reported that ITV execs cut Rourke’s £500,000 (about $654,100) show fee after his repeated offenses in the house.

“Mickey won’t be receiving all his money from ITV,” a source told the US Sun.

“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.”

Page Six has reached out to ITV for comment but did not immediately hear back.

Last week, Rourke, 72, came under fire for attacking housemate Siwa, 21, in a series of “homophobic” outbursts on “Celebrity Big Brother UK.”

The “9½ Weeks” actor questioned the “Karma” singer about her sexuality during last Wednesday’s episode.

“Do you like girls or boys?” he asked.

“Me? Girls. My partner is non-binary,” she replied, referring to Kath Ebbs.

Rourke then insinuated that he could change Siwa’s sexual orientation during their time together on Season 24 of the ITV reality show.

“If I stay longer than four days, you won’t be gay anymore,” he said to the pop star, who clapped back, “I can guarantee I’ll still be gay and I’ll still be in a very happy relationship.”

Later in the episode, Rourke said he was “going to vote the lesbian out real quick,” to which she replied, “That’s homophobic, if that was your reasoning.”

Due to his remarks, Rourke was called to the Diary Room and issued a stern warning from the show.

The “Iron Man 2” star was told that he would be “removed” from the “Big Brother” house if he exhibited “further language or behavior of this nature.”

Rourke ultimately apologized for his actions, saying he did not “have dishonorable intentions” and was “just talking smack.”
