Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu has opened up about her “vulnerable” side on Celebrity Big Brother.

In a conversation with Fern Britton, Ekin-Su confessed: “People look up to me as this confident person, but I feel like there is such a vulnerable side that I hide.”
“I don’t show it to the public and it’s usually that side where I go home and I’ll cry.”
“I think it’s always just overwhelming to be a strong role model to girls all the time and I think there’s stuff going on in my life that I can’t open up to people about,” she added.
“I just smile and say I’m good, I’m fine but then..” she concluded.
Bosses are hoping for her to share villa and romance gossip during her time on CBB.
Ekin-Su also recently appeared on the US version of The Traitors.
Other big names to enter the Big Brother house are Louis Walsh and Sharon Osbourne.
Following weeks of speculation, the former X Factor judge was confirmed as a housemate during the show’s launch episode.
Louis entered the house after his longtime friend and former X Factor colleague Sharon Osbourne, who joined the series as a “special guest” housemate – meaning she may only appear on the show for a short stint.
Upon their arrival, Big Brother tasked them with “judging” their fellow housemates, and deciding who should face eviction first.
It’s understood Sharon brokered a different contract to the rest of this year’s celebrity housemates, and might only appear on the show for a week.
According to reports, she’s being paid £500k for her short stint.
