Having landed back in LA, a content creator queried Mickey, 72, about his time in Celebrity Big Brother.
They asked him, among other questions: "What would you say to JoJo Siwa? Do you have any comments for JoJo?"
Looking perplexed, Mickey replied by asking: "Who's that?"
"She was on the show with you - JoJo Siwa", the content creator reminded him.
Viewers previously watched on as now-axed Mickey came under fire when he directed offensive slurs at US singer JoJo Siwa, who is a lesbian.
JoJo's mum weighed into Mickey's actions which lead to his departure.
Taking to social media, Dance Moms star Jessalynn Siwa wrote: "To be honest, this is exactly what I was afraid of, something physical.
"I know some people think he was making good TV and will be sad he is gone but it's not worth it for ones in the room with him."
The Sun revealed ITV bosses slashed Mickey's £500,000 show fee after he repeatedly caused chaos in the house.
He joins stars including Roxanne Pallett and Jeremy Jackson who had their big-money fees slashed after being axed.
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.

Jack P Shepherd and Hanni Treweek tie the knot as first snaps emerge from lavish wedding
The Corrie star and his new wife have been pictured together for the first time on their wedding day. Telly favourite Jack P Shepherd and Hanni Treweek have officially tied the knot. The Coronation Street star and his new wife were married at Manchester Cathedral today. The first photos from their special day have now emerged. As can be seen in our sister title The Mirror, the couple were all smiles in the pictures from the moments after they said 'I do'. The soap star, best known for his role as David Platt, looked dapper in a suit as he stood next to Hanni. The 37-year-old was seen wearing an off-white suit jacket over a black waistcoat and white shirt, completed with black trousers and a bow tie. Hanni, 36, looked stunning in a long white dress with a full skirt and an impressively long train. Her gown featured a lace, off-the-shoulder top with long sleeves, adding to her elegant bridal look. She finished off her outfit with a lengthy veil, held in place by a tiara. The newlyweds shared a romantic kiss on the steps of Manchester Cathedral, while their delighted guests showered them with confetti. Jack proposed to Hanni last year during a romantic safari trip in Tanzania. The pair had been colleagues on the popular soap before their relationship blossomed. The soap actor previously revealed that his participation in Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year was to help fund their extravagant wedding day, although he didn't anticipate winning the ITV reality show. In the run-up to their big day, the couple offered sneak peeks into their planning process, which they've been undertaking with the help of events company Taylor Lynn Corporation. Hanni shared highlights from the planning process on Instagram, including a photo of the day she said yes to the dress, as well as when she chose the wine for their wedding. She revealed charming details, such as how she and Jack "built our guest list in this cosy little cabin". As she celebrated the four-week countdown to her wedding in the post, she said: "Here's to four weeks of making special memories, feeling excited, nervous, overwhelmed, emotional, in love and everything else that comes with being a bride". Groom Jack responded with: "It's gonna be EPIC!". Meanwhile, Jack previously provided a glimpse into their wedding plans when asked on Good Morning Britain if he planned to invite his Celebrity Big Brother housemates to his big day. Jack admitted: "I don't think so. I've only known them three weeks and have a guest list a mile long." Jack and Hanni first met when his now-bride appeared on Coronation Street – she later worked on the soap as a storyline writer. However, sparks didn't fly until they reunited at a friend's wedding sometime later. Jack previously reminisced: "We got chatting, I made Hanni laugh, we had a couple of drinks and we flirted. That was it." The duo started seeing each other later that year after a chance encounter at a supermarket. Jack humorously commented on the awkwardness of their meeting, while Hanni was worried about her looks. However, Jack was completely taken with her, admitting: "I actually thought she looked fit I just saw the girl I fancy wearing lycra! We quickly went on our first date and we just clicked."

Rio Ferdinand claps back at trolls on wife Kate's bikini pictures
Rio Ferdinand has stepped in to defend his wife Kate after she was criticised for sharing holiday pictures that featured her in a bikini. The TV personality and influencer shared a carousel of photos from recent family time abroad on Saturday morning. 'July has been full of memories (& food) in our home from home,' she captioned the post, which included pictures of her and her husband holding hands outside a front door, a spread of tasty-looking food, time hanging out on the beach together and the family jumping into the pool together. Naturally for someone enjoying a holiday abroad in the sun, Kate was seen in swimwear – and her choices were olive green and black bikinis. Among pictures and videos Kate had shared playing with her kids, she'd also shared a happy selfie, wearing orange-tinted sunglasses, from a towel lying out on the grass in the shade. In another picture, she'd snapped a classic bathroom selfie while in her black bikini, her hair wet from swimming. 'Don't think you need to show in a bikini [sic.],' observed Brenda Weaver in the comments section. It's not clear which photo had offended her, but Rio was having none of it. Within minutes of her posting the remark, Rio had responded: '@brendaweav1 ffs Brenda have a day off 😘' Softening the retort with an emoji but not mincing his words earned both Rio and Kate an avalanche of support with the former footballer's comment garnering 1,247 likes alone. 'Why not? She looks sensational 😍 xx,' added @kellyannw1980. '@rioferdy5 😂😂😂 Tell dem,' responded @may_yomi10. The 46-year-old pundit and ex-England captain and his wife, 34, share five kids together. Son Cree came along in December 2020, while daughter Shae turned two just days ago. Kate is also step-mum to Rio's teenage kids Lorenz, 19, Tate, 16 and 14-year-old Tia, whom he had with late wife Rebecca Ellison. Rebecca tragically died of breast cancer in May 2025, aged just 34. Kate demonstrated her sweet relationship with the teenagers after Tate left two hearts in the comments of her post. 'Omg! You commented on my picture. Must be my lucky day!! 🤣,' she responded to the footballer with Brighton & Hove Albion FC's U18 team. She had also previously shared a snap of her taking a photo of Tia in a summery outfit outdoors – with her face covered by a yellow heart emoji – on her Instagram Stories, joking: 'Hey, I'm Kate, Tia's personal photographer.' In April it was reported that Rio and Kate are eyeing up a move to Dubai – which was likely where they were spending their down time in July. More Trending It's where the couple first met while Kate was on holiday in 2016, being introduced through a mutual friend, before they got together in 2017 and married in Turkey in September 2019. The Sun reported that they were 'seriously considering being based out in the Gulf' and had already started looking at possible homes and schools. 'They love the lifestyle and sunny weather and have lots of friends out there. It's a very safe place for families and offers a healthy lifestyle, which suits them well,' a source told the publication. 'It holds a special place in their hearts as that's where they met and both could easily travel back and forth for their work commitments in the UK.' Got a story?
