Celebrity Big Brother fans have declared that Patsy Palmer is ‘ready to go full Bianca’ on Mickey Rourke, after spotted her savage ‘dirty looks’ in the wake of his comments about her cooking.
The EastEnders star, 52, has taken on the role of chef since moving into the house on Monday, and in Wednesday’s episode, Mickey unknowingly berated the food he’d been eating, unaware that she was responsible.
The toe-curling exchange came after Mickey received a formal warning for ‘homophobic’ comments he made to JoJo Siwa, which has sparked calls for the actor to be removed from the show.
Speaking to his fellow housemates in the bedroom, Mickey asked: ‘I think we’ve got to get Big Brother to work on the food?’
She replied: ‘What you want more food?’ and Mickey added: ‘No, it’s just not that great.’
Aware that Patsy could hear the conversation, JoJo tried to diffuse the tension by saying: ‘At least we’ve got Patsy, once Patsy stops cooking, we’re screwed….’

The camera then cut to Patsy, who was delivering a death-stare expression towards Mickey, who immediately noticed her reaction and added: ‘So Patsy’s been cooking?’
Her reaction was immediately clocked by fans, with one compiling a hilarious montage of Bianca’s ‘dirty looks’ towards Mickey.
Tweeting the collection of snaps, the fan posted: ‘I would be 100% satisfied if #CelebrityBigBrother was just an hour-long edit of Patsy Palmer giving Mickey Rourke dirty looks. #CBBUK.’
Others were quick to tip the star to ‘lose her s**t’ with Mickey, with tweets including: ‘I just love Patsy Palmer’s resting face;
‘She’s going to lose her s**t with him and it will be glorious; I think she’s fully analysing him and then she’s gonna pop off out of nowhere;
‘She’s trying to stay under the radar but she’s absolutely going to explode at some stage. I can see it in her eyes;
‘She’s gonna snap soon, can’t wait.’
On Wednesday, fans of Celebrity Big Brother demanded ‘vile’ Mickey, 72, be removed from the house after he branded lesbian dancer JoJo, 21, a ‘f*g’ before going on to insult other female housemates in a ‘misogynistic’ tirade.

Independent watchdog Ofcom has come under pressure to intervene with the ITV show after Mickey was issued a formal warning from Big Brother.
Viewers claimed show bosses should have gone a step further and removed him from the house – calling on Ofcom to immediately step in.
When Ofcom receives complaints it is assessed under the Broadcasting Code to see if it needs further investigation.
During Wednesday’s episode, which had a peak of 1.74 million viewers, Mickey left JoJo in tears after he insinuated he would be able to ‘make her straight’ during their time in the house.
And in a move set to cause fresh upset to his housemates, Mickey has also broken the rules by refusing to put forward his nominations for the first eviction, in scenes that will air on Thursday night.
In the upcoming episode, the housemates were called to the Diary Room individually to announce their first nominations of the season ahead of Friday’s live eviction.
Yet Mickey – who already faces the public vote after being given a ‘killer nomination’ from JoJo – refused to name the two housemates he wanted to put up.
Speaking to Big Brother, he insisted: ‘I choose not to evict anyone. I refuse to do that. I will not pick two people to toss off the shelf.’
Viewers will find out the results of the nominations in Thursday’s show, and will see who will face Mickey in the first eviction.
