Celebrity Big Brother star Gary Goldsmith claimed housemate Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu has been playing a game.
Kate Middleton's uncle was the first person to get evicted from the revived series of CBB and appeared on Late and Live to discuss his experience in the Big Brother house and his housemates. Host Will Best asked the businessman if he thought Ekin-Su, 29, is playing a game.
"100% - it’s a very unusual dynamic," he said. "But if you want to win the show, and win it as a game, you have to play it as a game. Ekin-Su’s got so much more experience than most people of doing that and she’s doing it brilliantly. It’s a game, so all credit to her for doing what she’s doing. It’s all about getting airtime, saying the right things to the right people, getting people onside. It’s being that magnet that people are drawn to."

Taking to a Reddit thread, viewers noticed they saw the "real Ekin" on the show's overnight live feed and that producers are "giving Ekin Su a villain edit on the show."
"The lives show her mixing with the younger crowd and being carefree, being goofy, actively helping out in the kitchen every day and being hands-on," they pointed out. During a recent episode, Ekin-Su was slammed by fans for her comments about subscription-based website, OnlyFans.

Ekin-Su, Sharon Osbourne and a few other housemates were discussing the Real Housewives franchise and OnlyFans. Sharon said: "Denise Richards, I'll give you an example, she was a magnificent looking girl when she was young, an actress, she was in James Bond. But her daughter is very, very good-looking, very beautiful, very young, she's gone on that website…." before Louis commented: "OnlyFans? Or only girls..."

"What message is she sending out to other young girls?" asked Sharon before Lauren quickly shut her down, saying: "They’re doing it for money, what else would you do? You have a choice. I was talking to someone, and they made a million pounds that year, on OnlyFans."
Ekin-Su responded bluntly, saying: "I'd rather have zero pounds than a million pounds doing it the wrong way, but have pride." Fans rushed to social media to slam the Love Island star, with one saying: "Oh Ekin-Su just annoyed me with that comment sorry." Another added: "Really don't get the issue with Onlyfans. Their body, their life - and making a mint as well!"
