CELEBRITY Big Brother star Marisha Wallace has defended ex-housemate Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu ahead of the finale - despite having a full blown argument with her.
The Broadway and West End star jumped on an Instagram live with the newly evicted Bradley Riches on Friday night while the pair got ready for the finale.
Ekin-Su has opted not to attend the finale after backlash about her attitude and on-screen arguments, both with co-stars and on Late and Live.
Reflecting on their time on the show, the duo responded to fan questions in a Q+A while Marisha got her make-up done.
When one fan asked if she would be up for the US version of CBB, the American singer said she would consider it, while Bradley said it appeared more like The Traitors than its UK counterpart as people were so desperate to win.

While Marisha somewhat agreed, she said that didn’t mean people weren’t feisty in the UK compound, reflecting on a fight with Ekin-Su in which Marisha nominated her.
“I felt like when I was telling Ekin-Su that, that I was actually like giving her a compliment because she's so popular. It was like... from there it just went left,” she said.
However, she added she understood where Ekin-Su was coming from, and explained: “We were crying over them teddy bears!”
“I was Oliver-nominated and I was crying over a teddy bear!” she laughed. “Because of what? Like, why?”
“It was wild, but then... people don't understand like how high pressure the show is,” Marisha added. “It will heighten every emotion that you have, so Ekin was saying that she just broken up with someone, so if she had any feeling of like betrayal or anything like that, it just heightens it.
“So then anything happens, you just pop because you just don't... I don't even like, blame her, because anybody could've popped at any moment. It's just wild.”
