On Late and Live, Ekin-Su claimed that she only voted for Louis because he wanted to go home.

In last nights episode, Big Brother told housemates to nominate each other face to face.

Fans were shocked after Ekin-Su nominated her pal, Louis.

Delivering her nomination, she said: “My first nomination is going to be Louis.

“I just feel like Louis is a bit lazy and I prefer someone who is a team player.”

“I would like him to be more practical with housework in the home. That’s why I want to nominate Louis.”

Will Best and AJ Odudu pointed out that Ekin-Su nominated her pal but was upset when her friend Marisha Wallace nominated her.

Aj Odudu said to Ekin-Su: “Could you not see why people would say that that’s a beautiful display of hypocrisy?”

Ekin-Su replied: “The reason I voted for Louis that most people don’t know is that, in there, Louis wasn’t happy.

“He wanted to go home. So I felt sorry for him because they picked on him in there and I thought, you know what, you’re better off going home, that’s why I voted for him.”

Marisha nominated the Love Island star and told her: “Only because I know if I get to the final with you, I can’t beat you.

The pair immediately fell out with Ekin-Su saying that Marisha was supposed to be her friend.

This series, fans have been voting to save their favourite housemate – not eliminate like in the past – and viewers were stunned to see Ekin-Su booed.

She won Love Island back in the summer of 2022 and has millions of social media followers.

But she found herself axed after fans spotted her playing a game and she switched allegiances, having been close to Louis Walsh, before nominating him in a surprise twist on Thursday.

Previously Princess Kate’s uncle Gary Goldsmith was the first star to be voted out, followed by Real Housewives star Lauren Simon and Sharon Osbourne, who signed up as a temporary housemate and left of her own accord.

Meanwhile, Irish music mogul Louis Walsh was also booed heavily by the crowd in London’s Garden Studios – but he escaped eviction again.

Fans at home believed the right decision was made, with Ekin-Su and Dragons’ Den star Levi being given the boot.

One wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter: “Getting home to see a double eviction – Levi and Ekin-Su. British public, you’ve f***** up many times before but tonight, well played Blighty #CBBUK.”
