Celebrity Big Brother viewers were left divided after two more stars were evicted during Friday night's live show (March 15).
Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, David Potts, Fern Britton, Levi Roots and Louis Walsh were all up for eviction after a nail-biting round of face-to-face nominations on Thursday's episode. It saw Ekin-Su and singer Marisha Wallace fall out, with Ekin-Su sobbing as Marisha apologised profusely in rather pathetic scenes.
Viewers who reckoned the former Love Island star has been acting fake while in the house called for her to be the next to leave. Fern Britton had branded Ekin-Su's behaviour as 'disappointing' and 'disturbing' during the nominations.

The first eviction of the night took viewers by surprise, however. Entrepreneur Levi was revealed as the third celebrity altogether to leave the house. Taking to X, formerly Twitter, viewers weren't too impressed.
