Celebrity Big Brother's Marisha Wallace broke down in tears as she admitted she wanted to go home after the brutal nominations.
On Thursday night's episode of the ITV programme, the housemates were invited to celebrate at a Fun Fair where they played games and enjoyed snacks. At one point, Big Brother asked Marisha to pick a prediction from a fortune-telling machine. Reading the fortune bubble, she said: “There are exciting things ahead. On Sunday the 14th of April, you will be sitting at the Olivier Awards as a nominee for Best Actress in a Musical for Guys & Dolls.”
The stars screamed and celebrated the incredible news but the house soon got turned upside down when Big Brother asked the celebrity housemates to stand at the Kissing Booth and nominate two others to be up for nomination. While most people nominated Louis Walsh, it turned sour when musical theatre star Marisha nominated Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu.
"I know if I get to the final, I can’t beat you. I know that if you get to the final with me, you will win the public vote," Marisha explained. "I know that if we go head-to-head, you have a huge following, you played these games before you know how to win and if I want to win this, if I ever had the chance, I wouldn’t have the chance against you.”
Marisha nominated Ekin-Su to be up for eviction (ITV)Ekin-Su was seething and replied: "I knew this was going to happen, this judging me because I went on a f***ing show before. You’ve been close with me this whole time so you’ve been fake with me this whole time." The Love Island star didn't take too kindly to the nomination and kicked up a storm about it all over the house, telling Marisha she wouldn't forgive her for her decision.
