AXED Celebrity Big Brother star Levi Roots has accused the housemates of bullying Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu.
The TV chef, 65, blasted his former co-stars on ITV's This Morning after being evicted alongside the Love Island legend.
Ekin-Su, 29, was put up for eviction having received the most nominations from her fellow housemates including Fern Britton, David Potts, Bradley Riches and Marisha Wallace.
But Levi wasn't at all surprised after noticing the house turning on Ekin-Su - and claimed other cast members made a point of bringing up her reality TV past.
He also revealed Ekin-Su struggled with being picked on and he secretly supported her in secret chats that didn't make it on air.

Speaking on This Morning today, he told hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard: "Everyone was being unfair to Ekin-Su.
"There was a bit of micro bullying going on and people were picking on her ...
"I didn't think it was fair. On what she had done on other shows before.
"So I had to put a bit of an arm around her.
"I felt like she was my daughter, so we had a lot of conversations and I was trying to G her up.
"Those moments she kept being voted, her name kept being called out I really felt it for her, I love Ekin-Su she is a lovely girl."
Ekin-Su clashed with Fern in the house after she suggested the This Morning star should try out the hot tub.
Fern later made jokes about Ekin-Su's modelling career saying she was practicing for OnlyFans.
After being evicted on Friday Levi and Ekin-Su headed straight for the Late and Live spin-off show where they were interviewed by AJ Odudu and Will Best.
Will made jokes about her constantly plugging Love Island, and they aired a reel showing how many times she spoke about it.

When Ekin-Su insisted she wasn't portrayed "as myself on the show" AJ defended the edits and said "it's interesting because you've literally just walked out of the house, you don't know what has been seen or been said.
"But I can assure you everything that has been seen or been said has been said by you."
Ekin-Su also clashed with Strictly star Layton Williams on Late and Live.
The actor called out Ekin-Su after she was left very upset about Marisha Wallace nominating her - despite picking close pal Louis Walsh herself.
Fans also thought Will in particular made a few digs at her, with him at one point referring to her as "Ekin Boo Hoo Hoo".
Former Love Island champ Ekin-Su has since returned to social media and followed all of her co-stars, but doesn't follow AJ or Will.
Writing on social media, one said: "Will Best absolutely hates Ekin Su."
