EKIN-SU has appeared to take another thinly-veiled swipe after snubbing the Celebrity Big Brother final.
The reality TV icon, 29, was left visibly shocked after her time in the CBB house came to an end with audible boos from the show’s eviction crown.

Her portrayal on the show, and some fan backlash, led the star to take some time away from the spotlight and she opted not to reunite with her co-stars at the final of the ITV reality hit.
A much-loved reality star, the TV favourite received a surprise under-whelming reception after her stay in the house and got given an early boot despite being touted as a likely winner before the programme kicked off.
Now she appears to have made her feelings known once again after being left seemingly disappointed in the way she was portrayed on the programme.
On her official Twitter/X account, it could be seen that a tweet had been liked calling for “justice” following her time on the show.
The message read: “Just wondering if there’s any chance we could get #JusticeForEkinSu trending?”
Ekin-Su has taken some time out of the public eye after receiving horrific trolling following her time on CBB.
The ex of Davide Sanclimenti had been unfairly subjected to a slew of cruel messages and admitted that her first week out of the house was among some of her “lowest moments”.
Breaking her silence
The star broke her silence in an emotional statement where she thanked her loyal fans for their fierce support as well as to discuss why she opted not to attend the show’s final and see Ibiza Weekender star David Potts crowned the champion.
Writing on her Instagram stories, she said: “I know it’s unlike me to hide away, but I’ve been taking some time to reflect. Sometimes in our lowest moments, we learn the most important lessons about ourselves.”
She went to explain that she didn’t want her fans to take her skipping the finale the wrong way.
The Turkish actress continued: “I hope you don’t think I was selfish for setting boundaries and putting my own needs first last night. I’m fully aware that not everybody will understand my absence, or think it was the right decision to make, BUT it was the right decision for me.
“I chose to remove myself from a potentially uncomfortable situation that I preferred to avoid. I’m proud of myself for recognising what I need during this time, despite the hate that might come my way.”
She added: “Accountability is key and when I’m ready, I will give some context around these past few weeks. Thank you to everybody who has sent kindness my way, I see you, and I appreciate you. The new chapter starts now.”
Her statement concluded: “I hope everyone enjoyed watching the CBB final. A huge congratulations to David for the win. Xx.”
Ekin signed the vulnerable post off with a love heart.

Big Brother has faced accusations of bullying and ITV were flooded by Ofcom complaints when Ekin-Su appeared on Late & Live following her eviction.
Some fans claimed hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best were harsh on her during the post-eviction show.
When Ekin claimed a lot of things on the show hadn’t been aired, panellist Layton Williams slammed her and furiously shot back, saying: “We’re not going to blame the edit, girl.”
She looked on uncomfortable after the harsh comment as she attempted to compose herself.
Who has won Celebrity Big Brother?
THE first Celebrity Big Brother aired in March 2001 on Channel 4.
Roll on 23 years and a switch to Channel 5 in 2011, CBB is now into its 23rd season and is being hosted for the first time by ITV.
Here’s who has won the coveted title so far:
Season 1 (2001): Comedian Jack Dee beat actress Claire Sweeney despite walking out of the house and evading security for about an hour. The series was also more memorable for Vanessa Feltz telling Big Brother to “f*** off” after chalking “incarcerated”, “ambushed” and “restricted” on the table.
Season 3 (2005): Maraca shaking Bez walked out the winner ahead of Blazin’ Squad’s Kenzie. The Happy Mondays star scooped the £50,000 and went on 10-hour bender, blowing the cash.
Season 4 (2006): This was the season when Big Brother really mixed things up – by sending in a non-celebrity from fictional band Kandy Floss. However, Chantelle Houghton won over viewers and housemates alike and was crowned the winner. During her time in the house she found love with Ordinary Boys singer Preston. There was also added drama when George Galloway pretended to be Rula Lenska’s pet cat.
Season 5 (2007): Actress Shilpa Shetty won after being caught up in a racism bullying row with former BB contestant Jade Goody, model Danielle Lloyd, and S Club’s Jo O’Meara.
Season 6 (2009): Ulrika Jonsson beat Terry Christian, but controversy came in the form of rapper Coolio who was slammed by viewers as misogynistic, however he finished in third spot.
Season 7 (2010): Alex Reid beat Dane Bowers and Vinnie Jones with a huge 65% of the vote. Alex married Katie Price one month later.
Season 8 (2011): In the first series to air on Channel 5, Big Fat Gypsy Wedding star Paddy Doherty was the unexpected winner, beating singer Kerry Katona.
Season 9 (2012): Loose Women star Denise Welch triumphed over X Factor contestant Frankie Cocozza, after stripping off while drunk and jumping into the hot tub topless.
Season 10 (2012): Comedian Julian Clary got the nod in the vote over Coleen Nolan.
Season 11 (2013): The X Factor’s Rylan Clark beat couple Heidi Montag
& Spencer Pratt, who were competing as “one entity” and known as Speidi.
Season 12 (2013): Geordie Shore star Charlotte Crosby beat 5ive singer Abz Love
Season 13 (2014): Jim Davidson won after a blazing row with Linda Nolan. N-dubz Dappy took second spot.
Season 14 (2014): Gary Busey – who chose to roam around the CBB house naked – beat boxer Audley Harrison.
Season 15 (2015): Katie Price won the battle of the Katies as she saw off controversial Katie Hopkins in the final. The biggest talking point was American blogger’s Perez Hilton’s raging row with Calum Best, but the series also saw two early ejections of Jeremy Jackson and Ken Morley.
Season 16 (2015): Apprentice star James Hill beat model Austin Armacost. Tila Tequila was evicted on just the second day after she was found to have posted support for Adolf Hitler on social media.
Season 17 (2016): Geordie Shore’s Scotty T won after sharing a kiss with fellow housemate Tiffany Pollard. Stephanie Davis was runner-up.
Season 18 (2016): Stephen Bear won the show despite a huge row with radio star James Whale. Ricky Norwood placed second but this season saw Christopher Biggins ejected from the house after making an anti-Semitic joke.
Season 19 (2017): Coleen Nolan entered the CBB house for a second time – and this time came out the winner beating Jedward. During her second stint she had a massive showdown with horse star John McCririck.
Season 20 (2017): It was the battle of the reality show singers in the final, with Popstars: The Rivals winner and Girls Aloud star Sarah Harding beating The X Factor’s Amelia Lily.
Season 21 (2018): Courtney Act, otherwise known as Shane Jenek, won with politician Ann Widdecombe runner-up.
Season 22 (2018): Winning Dancing On Ice in 2024, was not Ryan Thomas‘s first reality show title. He won the CBB title in 2018, after a shocking “run-in” with Emmerdale actress Roxanne Pallet, who falsely accused him of punching her. Actress Kirstie Alley came second.
