Fern Britton has nominated Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu for eviction on 'Celebrity Big Brother'.
Celebrity Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX and is available in Ireland on Virgin Media Two and Virgin Media Player.
The 66-year-old presenter - who is best known for having fronted 'This Morning' alongside Phillip Schofield from 2002 until 2009 - is currently taking part in the ITV1 reality show and on Thursday (07.03.24) night's episode reveals that she has chosen former 'Love Island' winner Ekin, 29, to go up for the public vote because of how she has been pressuring her to get into the hot tub and "show off [her] cellulite".
Explaining her reasons behind her nomination, she says: "She’s a couple of times suggested that I could fit into one of her bikinis and get into the hot tub, you know, show off your cellulite, see how you roll your bosoms up like a swiss roll and tuck them in your bra, but from my point of view it’s like I’ve had those days darling, thanks very much but no."
The former 'Dancing on Ice' contestant is seen chatting with YouTube star Zeze Millz, 34, where she insists that 'Love Island' was nothing like a "free holiday" for her and that the public only saw a tiny portion of the show that made her famous.
Zeze says: “I would never do Love Island, but if you are in a hot country it is kinda like a free holiday, do you know what I mean?”
Ekin disagrees, by saying: “It wasn’t really for me…”
Zeze answers: “Maybe we didn’t get to see that.”
Ekin adds: “It’s a reality show filmed 24/7 honey, you only see 40 minutes of it.”
Zeze replies: “That’s what I just said, that’s why I said we didn’t get to see all of it.”
Ekin-Su agrees: “Yeah, you didn’t”
Zeze confirms: “That’s what I just said!”
Elsewhere, Ekin-Su is seen having a conversation with 'Coronation Street' star Colson Smith, 25, where he suggests that she should be used to the idea of eliminations because of how she had to nominate others on 'Love Island' but is adamant that the format is "not the same".
Colson asks: “On Love Island, do you have to say who you want to go on that?”
Ekin says: “This is not 'Love Island', this is not the same.”
Colson adds: “But on that, do you have to say…”
Ekin replies: “It’s not the same, please just let it go.”
'Celebrity Big Brother' continues tonight at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX and is available in Ireland on Virgin Media Two and Virgin Media Player.
