And actor Mickey Rourke made quite the first impressions on the show…

Viewers were left horrified when within minutes of his arrival, the Hollywood actor, 72, was seen leering at the ITV host, 37, who appeared visibly uncomfortable.

And it has now been revealed that the Wrestler star received 89 Ofcom complaints following the awkward interaction.

AJ’s co-host Will Best was praised by fans for protecting her as he stepped in and pulled Mickey back from AJ after he grabbed her arm.

Keeping her professional composure, AJ told the actor to ‘stop looking at me’ and turned him and directed him to the door, with the actor heard saying: ‘No, I want to stay with you.’

Will then added: ‘Don’t take AJ with you!’ and was later seen holding her hand as they presented their next live link.

Fans have since demanded Mickey is booted off the show as they took to social media to express their disdain.
