Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu shared the “real reason” she put Louis Walsh up for eviction.
The Love Island star, 29, was evicted from the Big Brother house during Friday night’s (March 15) of the show alongside Levi Roots. Ekin-Su found herself up for eviction following the dramatic face to face nominations, where she was voted by four of her fellow housemates.
Meanwhile Ekin-Su’s two nominations were for Fern Britton and Louis. The reality star said she was putting Louis up for eviction because of his laziness, claiming he doesn’t help as much around the house.

The X Factor star, 71, was visibly shocked by the nomination as he shared a strong friendship with Ekin-Su. Speaking to hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best during the latest episode of Late & Live, Ekin-Su was grilled about why she nominated her close friend.
Ekin-Su was quick to shut down claims that she nominated Louis because he was lazy. She told the duo: “Do you want to know the real reason I nominated Louis? It’s because he was unhappy.”
The reality star insisted that Louis was aware of why she really nominated him, adding that it just wasn’t aired. Ekin-Su was asked if her nominations would have been different had they not been face to face.

She responded: “I would have still nominated Louis. It’s obviously been misunderstood differently.” The TV personality added: “He knows why I nominated him and it was because I saw him unhappy there and that was it.”
The star later reiterated her point, saying: “It wasn’t from a malicious or nasty place. I couldn’t stand him being upset in there.” At the end of her exit interview, Ekin-Su was asked who she wants to win the competition.

And her answer was Louis. She explained: “Because he’s himself in there and I want him to win.” After Levi was booted from the show, a shocked Louis insisted that “nobody is safe” in the house.
