Celebrity Big Brother's Ekin-Su Culculoglu 'blames the edit' for her unfair ... trends now
Celebrity Big Brother: Late & Live descended into chaos Friday evening as Ekin-Su Culculoglu clashed with Layton Williams after her eviction from the house on Friday.
The Love Island star, 29, was left looking rather sheepish after attempting to 'blame the edit' for her unfair portrayal on the show in light of her explosive argument with Marisha Wallace during Thursday's episode.
Ekin-Su broke down in hysterical tears after Marisha picked her in the face-face nominations before storming off to her bed as the musical star, 38, followed to apologise.
Speaking about the dramatic performance, which saw Ekin-Su branding the theatre star as 'fake', Layton shot back at the reality star as he revealed his full support for Marisha in the confrontation.
Ekin exclaimed: 'When Marisha nominated me that actually showed me her true colours, that she had been thinking about winning the game the whole time.'

Host AJ Odudu attempted to reason with the star as she suggested: 'Well what we have got to remember, you know she's American it's strategy, game playing.'
But Layton was quick to intervene as he explained: 'Marisha had to pick someone basically and she did pick you, just like you picked Louis.
'Louis squashed it you know and kind of kept it moving and unfortunately you dragged it on and I kind of did feel for Marisha in that moment.
'I was like, you know what this is her big day, she had just been told she had been nominated for an Olivier Award and to see her crying in the Big Brother...' as Ekin-Su interrupted: 'You haven't seen everything they have cut stuff out but ok.'
Yet Layton was having none of it, as he hit back: 'Don't blame it on the edit, one thing we are not going to do is blame it on the edit.
'We're not blaming it on the edit girl. We see what we see and it was just a shame, it was a big shame.'
As host Will Best opened it up to the audience to try and garner some support for Ekin-Su, he struggled to find an audience member that was on her side.
'Anyone?' he asked, before one audience member put his hand up. 'I wouldn't say I was on Ekin's side, but I would say I really respected you setting your boundaries and saying "look I need space" I think that was a really mature response'.
Ekin-Su spoke out about not feeling the show had portrayed the 'real her' as she insisted: 'You haven't seen everything they have cut stuff out but ok'
Yet Layton was having none of it, as he hit back: 'Don't blame it on the edit, one thing we are not going to do is blame it on the edit. 'We're not blaming it on the edit girl. We see what we see and it was just a shame, it was a big shame'
Ekin-Su and Levi Roots were the latest celebrities to be evicted on Friday night as they joined Layton and Arielle Free on Late & Live
After explained Ekin-Su, 'I'm just hurt that I wasn't portrayed as myself on the show' a somewhat exasperated, AJ said: 'You don't know what's been seen or what's been said, but I can assure you that everything that has been seen and has been said has been said by you'
Ekin was reunited with her mum as she left the house, as she later tried, and failed, to defend her daughter as she suggested live parts of the show had been cut
'So were the rest of you on the fence or were you on Marisha's side?' asked Will, to which the audience all exclaimed: 'Marisha!'
One audience member then told Ekin: 'I think sometimes you need to listen to the positives, you never listened to the positive'.
'Do you think that's fair? That you sometimes need to listen to the positives when they are next to a negative' questioned Will.
'No I am taking the positive side,' explained Ekin-Su, 'I'm just hurt that I wasn't portrayed as myself on the show'.
As an awkward silence fell across the studio, and Layton exclaimed: 'Wait?!'
