CBB fans slam Ekin-Su's comments to Marisha after explosive outburst
Celebrity Big Brother fans were less than impressed by Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu's comments after her explosive outburst on Thursday night.
The Love Island star fumed after she was nominated to be up for eviction by her housemates. She was especially seething when her pal Marisha Wallace chose her for nominations. "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.” Ekin-Su told her: "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."
Things in the house were tense ever since the nominations and Ekin-Su even told Marisha she wouldn't forgive her for her comment. However, on Friday's live eviction, viewers watched as Ekin-Su and Marisha washed dishes together as they discussed their strained relationship.
When Marisha asked the Turkish actress how she was feeling, Ekin-Su said: "Do me one favour, just let it go. I’m letting it go today," before the Olivier-nominated Marisha reiterated how sorry she was for nominating her.

I just needed a bit of space but I’m good now," Ekin-Su said, with Marisha admitting she panicked during the nominations the previous day. Marisha said: "I just felt hurt that you were hurt. It hurt seeing you like that."
Ekin-Su continued: "Of course, you're my friend in here. Of course, I'm going to be hurt." Viewers were annoyed by Ekin-Su's insistence on Marisha 'letting it go' as they rushed to social media to remind her she was the one who was 'in hysterics' about the whole situation.
"Ekin Su telling her to let it go ???? Was she not the one charging into the bedroom in hysterics," one user said while another posted: "Ekin Su telling Marisha to let it go is insane." One irritated Big Brother viewer added: "The irony of Ekin Su saying to let it go."
One fan said: "At least Ekin has accepted Marisha's apology... just was a total overreaction I thought by ekin su last night..."
Celebrity Big Brother continues every night at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX except for Saturdays.
