AXED Celebrity Big Brother star Mickey Rourke flew back to his native LA in first class yesterday, despite having his £500k fee “slashed massively”.
The Sun revealed how the Oscar-nominated actor faces a huge cut to his CBB pay cheque having caused chaos in the house which led to his early exit.
The Wrestler star could see his fee reduced from £500,000 all the way down to £50,000.
A source said: “Mickey didn’t do Celebrity Big Brother for the experience and was counting on that money.
“He’s lost a huge amount by leaving the show early. It was worked out on a pro rata basis.
“Conversations are ongoing so the fee may change but a contract is a contract.”
But despite the fact that his fee could be slashed dramatically, that didn’t stop Mickey flying back to the US in first class.
The Sun revealed how the actor was keen to make a quick escape back to America, and yesterday he flew out of Heathrow back to LA.
In our new pictures, Mickey can be seen strolling into the first class lounge with his huge haul of luggage in tow.
He didn’t look like he had a care in the world as he waved to onlookers as he got ready to jet back home.
The Sun also revealed yesterday how “he won’t be back for the final”, following his dramatic exit.
AXED FROM BIG BROTHER
Mickey agreed he would leave after a final altercation with Chris Hughes, 32.

As Celebrity Big Brother is aired a day after the action in the house takes place, Mickey actually was booted out on Saturday.
This meant he spent two nights at a posh hotel in London before flying back to the US.
The Sun revealed how on Sunday night he was joined for drinks by boxer pal David Haye, 44, and his girlfriend Sian Osborne, 33.
Mickey was seen carrying a small dog as he greeted the duo around 9.30pm.
They left about four hours later at 1.30am.
