Ekin-Su Culculoglu and Levi Roots became the latest two stars to be booted from the Celebrity Big Brother house during Friday’s double eviction.
The pair received the fewest public votes and left the show after viewers chose to save Louis Walsh, Fern Britton and David Potts.
Ekin-Su, 29, was booed by the audience when hosts Aj Odudu and Will Best announced the result and she appeared terrified as she hugged her housemates goodbye.
Her dramatic exit came just a day after the Love Island winner’s team issued a plea to viewers to stop writing abusive messages about her.
In comparison, Dragon’s Den success story Levi, 65, was greeted with cheers before being reunited with his family.

The entrepreneur couldn’t wipe the smile off his face after admitting earlier in the show that he was ready to go because of missing his family.
Meanwhile, Ekin-Su said in her exit interview that she thought viewers had a preconceived idea of who she was despite trying to show the ‘real her’.
She had been criticized by fans for her ‘hysterical’ crying in Thursday’s episode when Marisha Wallace nominated her in the face-to-face nominees.
She stormed off to bed as theater star Marisha followed her to apologize – raging about her reason for nominating her.
But Ekin-Su’s family and friends have now asked fans to stop criticizing her, saying it was difficult for them to read ‘hateful comments’ and ‘threats of physical abuse’.
In a statement on social media, they wrote: ‘Last night was a really sad episode to watch. Ekin-Su has always nurtured and worn his heart on his sleeve and last night we saw it.
“However, what made last night a thousand times harder is seeing and listening to hateful comments, trolling, name-calling and threats of physical abuse. No one deserves this behavior and to read some of what we did last night.

In her nomination, Marisha said: ‘I know if I get to the final I can’t beat you. I know if you make it to the finals with me, you’ll win the public vote.
With Ekin-Su visibly seething, she added: ‘I know if we go head-to-head you have a huge following, you’ve played these games before, you know how to win and if I want to win this if I ever have a chance, I wouldn’t have a chance against you. I know that for sure’.
After Ekin-Su raged: ‘I knew this would happen, this judged me because I’ve been on a show before.’
