CELEBRITY Big Brother fans have spoken out in defence of Ekin-Su – believing she’s been given an unfair ‘villain’ edit since entering the house.
The Love Island winner entered the house last Monday, and since then has been seen in a number of clashes or heated moments with other housemates.
However, fans on Reddit have spoken out in Ekin-Su‘s defence, saying the 24-hour livestream has shown the ‘real her’ in comparison to the one-hour highlights reel that airs on ITV every night.
“Watching the live makes me realise that they’re definitely giving Ekin Su a villain edit on the show,” wrote one fan.
“The lives show her mixing with the younger crowd and being carefree, being goofy, actively helping out in the kitchen everyday and being hands on.”
“Levi, Lauren and Louis have praised her and it sucks that she’s getting a narrative based off the main show which isn’t true to whats being shown on the live,” they added.

“It’s probably bc they know she’s a fan favorite and want to make her more polarising,” one fan responded.
A third wrote: “It’s so weird like why do they have it out for her so intensely? She’s literally goofing around with all the [housemates] who seem to love her so wtf?”
A fourth noted: “I don’t know why there’s a narrative that ekin su only hangs around Louie and Sharon when she does go to different people ? And it’s the panelists [from Late and Live] pushing this narrative.”
Since entering the ITV compound, Ekin-Su has appeared divisive to her housemates and viewers alike.

This included snapping at Corrie star Colson Smith after he questioned her about Love Island ahead of the first nominations.
She also clashed with Zeze Mills after the YouTuber branded Love Island ‘like a free holiday’.
As a result, Colson, Zeze and Fern Britton all voted for her in the first round of nominations – however she was saved and Lauren Simon was put up for the public vote instead.
Viewers later believed she was voted for because, as the line-up was leaked before they entered the house, housemates are aware of how popular she is on the outside.
Whether this is true or not remains to be seen – but with the next round of nominations happening inside the house TODAY, it won’t take long to find out.
Celebrity Big Brother continues nightly at 9pm on ITV.
Celebrity Big Brother line-up
Who are the 13 stars appearing in the Celebrity Big Brother house? The Sun’s Jamie Downham takes a look…
Sharon Osbourne – TV legend – who is a “house guest” on a megabucks deal – said she was doing the show for “a good time not a long time”
Louis Walsh – Irish boyband manager who has never knowingly backed down from a fight and is not above pulling rank over the double bed
Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu – As we know from Love Island, the Ek-ster is capable of throwing about some dramatics to claw her way to the final
Levi Roots – Reggae Reggae Sauce sauce packs a bit of a kick, but its inventor seems quite mild-mannered. Will that change under pressure?
Fern Britton – The former This Morning star called out Phillip Schofield – don’t think she won’t do the same to anyone who tangles with her
Colson Smith – You’ll probably know him best as Corrie’s Craig Tinker – but prepare to find out he’s not much like his character
David Potts – Ibiza Weekender’s breakout star has left that show behind – as well as his trousers by the look of things
Gary Goldsmith – Kate Middleton’s uncle is a big signing for ITV, but has proved a divisive booking among viewers
Marisha Wallace – It’s not CBB without the role of ‘American who doesn’t know what they’ve let themselves in for’ and she’s doing brilliantly
Nikita Kuzmin – The Strictly pro is coming onto the show fresh off the show’s tour. Poor lad probably just wants a rest
Zeze Mills – the social media star has a “no holds barred interview style” – and she hasn’t backed away from calling people (well, Louis) out
Bradley Riches – The actor played kindly James McEwan in Netflix hit Heartstopper and he seems just as sweet in the house
Lauren Simon – She’s a Real Housewives of Cheshire star and you really don’t get on that show by being shy and retiring
