Ekin-Su CülcüloÄlu has pulled out of her Celebrity Big Brother final commitments after facing a post-eviction backlash, according to reports.
The former Love Island winner, 29, is not expected to rejoin her fellow housemates on Friday evening to see the winner revealed.
It comes just days after confusion arose over whether or not she had been due to appear on ITV’s Lorraine on Monday.
The star didn't address the issue herself, and has raised concerns after keeping a low profile.
A source said: “It’s been a bit of a tough couple of weeks for Ekin-Su. She could have played the sob story card but has remained tight-lipped publicly and expressed to those around that she’s aware she must be accountable for a few things that have happened.
"Understandably she is feeling vulnerable, but is using this time to gather her thoughts, and figure out next steps, which is why her management believes withdrawing her from the final is the most sensible move,” they added to the Mail Online.
She has reportedly asked her management team for "some time to reflect" and doesn't want to appear for the final, a week on from her eviction.
The Standard has contacted a representative for Ekin-Su CülcüloÄlu for comment.
CülcüloÄlu had an awkward showdown with Layton Williams during CBB spin-off show Late and Live on Friday.
She had tried to “blame the edit” for what she deemed an unfair portrayal on the show around her explosive argument with Marisha Wallace during Thursday's episode.
In the scenes that aired, the Turkish actress broke down in hysterical tears after Wallace picked her in the face to face nominations, before storming off to her bed as the musical star, 38, followed to apologise.
CülcüloÄlu meanwhile had nominated former X Factor judge Louis Walsh to his face, despite seeming close to him in the house.
Speaking about the dramatic performance, which saw CülcüloÄlu brand Wallace “fake,” Strictly finalist Williams was having none of it.
The remaining contestants through to the final are Louis Walsh, David Potts, Nikita Kuzmin, Colson Smith and Fern Britton.
Former X Factor judge and music manager Walsh is the bookmaker’s favourite to win.
Chad Yeomans, spokesperson at Betway said: "Louis has certainly brought the drama to Celebrity Big Brother this year, spilling gossip on his celebrity friends and sharing insight on his time on the X Factor.
"He's been a troublemaker, constantly breaking the rules, and has even ignited a new feud with past CBB stars Jedward and Gemma Collins - but he's all anyone who's watched the show this year has spoken about.
