According to a source, Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu will not be making an appearance at the Celebrity Big Brother finale this Friday. After her memorable exit interview, the 29-year-old reality star has decided not to join the rest of the eliminated participants and hosts for the live final. She does have plans to address her absence to fans, but will not be reuniting with the cast as originally expected.
Ekin-Su was the fourth housemate to be eliminated from the season, and her departure was met with criticism from viewers. Sources say that her time in the house and the backlash from fans have taken a toll on her. In the aftermath, she has taken a break from social media to regroup.
According to the Daily Mail, a source said, "It's been a tough couple of weeks for Ekin-Su. She could have played the sob story card, but instead she has remained tight-lipped publicly." The source also mentioned that the public's criticism has been hard for Ekin-Su to handle, and she is using this time to reflect and figure out her next steps. Her management team supports her decision to withdraw from the final.
During her exit interview, Ekin-Su claimed that she was given an unfair edit by the production team of Celebrity Big Brother. Host AJ Odudu defended the show's portrayal of the Love Island winner, and she was later wrongly accused of missing an appearance on the show Lorraine. This caused even more controversy.
According to reports, ITV is disappointed with Ekin-Su's absence from the final and has highlighted her contributions to the network's shows over the past two years. They want to make it clear that it was her decision, not the network's, to withdraw from the season finale.
Many fans have expressed concern for Ekin-Su's wellbeing and have noticed her absence from TV appearances and social media since her eviction. Some have even criticized other fans for being too harsh. The winner of Celebrity Big Brother season 23 will be revealed this week, with the remaining housemates battling it out for the crown.
In a surprise twist, Heartstopper actor Bradley Riches was eliminated in the penultimate episode on Thursday. The Agency has reached out to ITV and Ekin-Su's representatives for comment. The Celebrity Big Brother: Live Final airs tomorrow night on ITV1 and ITVX.
