Patsy Palmer has seemingly addressed claims she appeared ‘awkward’ in her Celebrity Big Brother exit interview as she was asked about axed housemate, Mickey Rourke.
The EastEnders actress, 52, got fans talking when she refused to speak about the US actor, 72, after Big Brother asked him to leave for a series of offensive remarks and an “unacceptable” outburst.
During his stint on the ITV reality show, he upset several people including 21-year-old JoJo Siwa when he made homophobic comments towards her and Ella Rae Wise, 24, who was in tears after Rourke’s inappropriate sexual comments.
He also had an altercation with Love Island star Chris Hughes, 32. Palmer was also left upset after Rourke continuously criticised her cooking.
When asked about the heated moment during a chat with hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best for her Celebrity Big Brother exit interview, Palmer stopped talking.
The telling moment came when Best, 40, recalled: “There were a few tricky moments you had to deal with in there. People complaining about your broccoli, that was one.”
Palmer’s demeanor shifted as she stopped smiling and went quiet, leading to an uncomfortable pause in the conversation.
“You don’t want to talk about the broccoli, do you… Absolutely fair enough,” Best stated.

Odudu, 37, attempted to revive the subject by asking: “Did it really upset you when Mickey complained to your face about the food?”
“Not really that,” Palmer simply responded, making clear she had no desire to talk about Rourke’s controversial behaviour.
Taking to Instagram on Wednesday night though, the actress shared and penned several posts on her Story which seem to be regarding the public response to the interview.
One post read: “There’s nothing awkward about silence. It says it all!” while another said: “If you can’t be kind, be quiet.”
Palmer also shared a lengthier post from another account which was titled “I get to choose”.
It read: “I get to choose how I respond to my present environment. I get to choose the words I speak and the energy I bring.
“I get to choose whether to feed certin thoughts or gently shift my focus somewhere more productive.
“So I remind myself that I am more powerful than I realise. And even when I can’t control everything around me, I can choose how I show up. And this choice is where my true power lives.”
Palmer also shared a post to her Instagram feed following her exit, with a snap of herself, Angellica Bell and Wise, all of whom were evicted in a brutal triple elimination on Tuesday.
Sharing her new friendships, she penned: “SISTERS …. Yes thats right !!! @bbuk with @angellicabell @ellaraewisex.
“Who runs the world !!! WOMEN. LATE & LIVE FOR REAL. See you at the final.” (sic)
