Yet the BBC screen star - for the second time in a week - appeared reluctant to talk about The Wrestler star Mickey, 72, who was axed by CBB bosses earlier in the series.

It came after fans called out "the most awkward CBB exit interview" ever on Tuesday.

Soon after her departure from the spy house, Patsy sat down with hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best for her interview when they brought up the broccoli incident in the house.

Fans at the time believed the reason Patsy went stony-faced when Will and AJ spoke about it was because she didn't want to give Mickey - who complained about her al dente broccoli - any air time.

And on Wednesday's episode of Lorraine, fronted by regular anchor Lorraine Kelly, 65, she again kept schtum.

She simply muttered "mmm yeah" as the Scot addressed Celebrity Big Brother "losing" Mickey early on.

Lorraine said: "I mean what a strange fella that was.

"Very very odd indeed."

She continue to laugh but, when there was no response from her guest, Lorraine wrapped up with the words: "He quickly got found out and sent away."

AWKWARD MOMENTS

Patsy's toe-curling interviews have become a firm fixture since her show exit.

One cringe moment came during the soap star's exit interview when CBB anchor Will Best told Patsy: "There were a few tricky moments you had to deal with in there.

"People complaining about your broccoli, that was one..."

This was when Patsy went stern-faced and there was total silence as the hosts waited for her to say something.

Will laughed: "You don't want to talk about the broccoli do you..."

Mickey Rourke's Career Timeline

1987: Gave a standout performance in Angel Heart, a psychological thriller directed by Alan Parker, co-starring Robert De Niro and Lisa Bonet.

1990s: Career decline and transition to boxing

1991: Mickey shifted focus from acting to professional boxing, citing dissatisfaction with Hollywood and the roles he was being offered.

He competed in several matches and sustained injuries during his career in the ring leading which led to an addiction to plastic surgery.

Throughout the 1990s, Rourke's film appearances were sporadic and mostly in lesser-known or poorly received productions.

2000s: Career comeback

2000: Returned to the screen in supporting roles, including in The Pledge, directed by Sean Penn, and Get Carter alongside Sylvester Stallone.

2005: Achieved a major career revival with his performance as Marv in Sin City, a visually striking neo-noir film directed by Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller.

2008: Delivered an award-winning performance in The Wrestler, directed by Darren Aronofsky. Rourke played Randy "The Ram" Robinson, a washed-up professional wrestler seeking redemption. The role earned him a Golden Globe Award and an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor.

2010s: Continued success

2010: Portrayed the villain Ivan Vanko/Whiplash in Iron Man 2, starring alongside Robert Downey Jr.

2011: Appeared in Immortals, a fantasy-action film directed by Tarsem Singh.

Throughout the decade, Rourke continued acting in smaller films and projects, maintaining a presence in Hollywood while occasionally taking on eccentric or offbeat roles.

Patsy remained silent and Will quickly said: "Absolutely fair enough."

Mickey made Patsy break down in tears after complaining about her cooking.

The American screen star was then thrown out after inappropriate and offensive remarks and behaviour in the house.

After she refused to speak after her elimination, Patsy again fell silent on CBB spin-off show Late and Live.

It came after she was quizzed about thoughts of escaping the compound when she missed her family.

MICKEY'S EXIT

This month, The Sun was first to report how actor and professional boxer Mickey was chucked out of the ITV compound after "threatening and abusive" behaviour towards a co-star.

Mickey, who was ITV's highest paid housemate of the series, was told to pack his bags after only six days following a series of controversial incidents.

It came after fans speculated he was specifically breaking show rules to bag his whopper fee and be forced to leave.

It followed the Bafta winner's formal warning over a homophobic slur.

A spokesman for the reality show said at the time: “Mickey Rourke has agreed to leave the Celebrity Big Brother House this evening following a discussion with Big Brother regarding further use of inappropriate language and instances of unacceptable behaviour."

The A-list actor had survived the first eviction of the series on Friday night, which saw Tory MP Michael Fabricant leave the house.
