Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu is "alright" according the to star's former housemate Marisha Wallace.
Marisha, who clashed with the Love Island star inside the famous house, has given an update on the Turkish actress, amid concerns following Ekin-Su's eviction last week. The star will be skipping the Celebrity Big Brother final this evening and has been silent on social media since leaving the house.
Ekin-Su claimed she hadn't been portrayed fairly in episode edits as she spoke to Celebrity Big Brother hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best post eviction, and has seemingly been trying to distance herself from the reality TV show since returning to the outside world - untagging herself from Celebrity Big Brother posts on Instagram.

"Ekin-Su and I have been in contact since leaving the house - she's alright," Marisha said in a new interview with the MailOnline.
Marisha was the fifth person to leave the show on Tuesday night. Zeze Millz also said goodbye to the house that night. Marisha talked about her big argument with Ekin-Su during her exit interview and if she wishes she had done things differently. She stood by her choice to vote for Ekin-Su and called out Ekin-Su's tactics with the other housemates.

Last week, Marisha shocked everyone when she chose to nominate her pal Ekin-Su. She explained why she did it: "I know if I get to the final, I can't beat you. I know that if you get to the final with me, you will win the public vote. I know that if we go head-to-head, you have a huge following, you played these games before you know how to win and if I want to win this, if I ever had the chance, I wouldn't have the chance against you."
When Marisha nominated Ekin-Su, it caused a big mess in the house. At that moment, an angry Ekin-Su said: "I knew this was going to happen, this judging me because I went on a f***ing show before. You've been close with me this whole time so you've been fake with me this whole time."
Marisha opened up about the big argument earlier this week, telling The Mirror and other reporters that she thinks Ekin-Su's big reaction was because of past hurts. She said it seemed like a 'trauma response' from things that happened before. Ekin-Su announced she and Davide Sanclimenti were not together anymore just before she went into the Celebrity Big Brother house. Inside the house, she said she felt 'hurt' by what Davide did and that she liked him a lot more than he liked her.
"I think Ekin-Su's response when I called her name was a trauma response," Marisha told us. "She said she felt betrayed, and of course, you would feel betrayed. You have to remember that we are all in a heightened emotional state when in the house. We're away from our support networks and our families and people react a certain way."
"But with Ekin-Su, in the next couple of days we made up, and everything was fine. In those situations, sometimes it triggers people - even from way back in the past. We squashed it though and actually, in the moments when we weren't speaking afterwards, we both felt really terrible. I just feel like these things happen between friends, but you get over it and move forward."
