CBB's Ekin-Su upset by housemates' Love Island comments
Celebrity Big Brother aired a disagreement between Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Zeze Millz over Love Island.
In tonight's (March 7) episode, The Love Island winner defended her time on the dating show when Zeze branded it as "a free holiday".
"It wasn't really for me," Ekin-Su replied.
The Dancing on Ice star explained that the series is more stressful than the final edit lets on, whilst Zeze reluctantly agreed that the programme may not have shown the entire picture but seemed convinced of her position.

"You only see 40 minutes of it," Ekin-Su insisted.
During the nominations, the tense exchange became the main reason for Ekin-Su and Zeze to nominate each other.
"I sense some tension between me and her," Ekin-Su said when giving reasons for her choice.
"[Zeze] just had to put her point across and couldn't just agree and just let it go," she said about their discussion.

For her part, Zeze conceded that she and Ekin-Su "just maybe rub each other the wrong way".
"It's just a clash of personalities if I'm being honest with you," Zeze continued. "We're both quite opinionated."
As it turns out, it wasn't just Zeze who had a few thoughts on Love Island. Coronation Street's Colson Smith told Ekin-Su he could see some similarities between Big Brother and the dating show.

However, Ekin-Su was adamant of the unique nature of Love Island, prompting singles to find a real connection with a special someone rather than just being housemates.
"Please just let it go," she said. "It's not the same."
As for the nominations, the episode saw The Real Housewives of Cheshire star Lauren Simon joining Gary Goldsmith amongst this week's celebrities at risk of being eliminated in this season's first live eviction.
