Layton Williams of Strictly Come Dancing has criticised Ekin-Su Culculoglu, a Celebrity Big Brother contestant.
The Love Island winner, 27, has already faced criticism for statements she made on the reality show, which also included former X Factor judges Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh.
In talks with her new friends, Ekin-Su said she disliked OnlyFans and did not share any bikini photos, which fans quickly exposed.
She has reportedly reacted at references of Love Island and been suspiciously rude to her co-stars.
Fans aren’t too pleased on the reality celebrity in the Big Brother house, despite her initial popularity as a front-runner to win.
However, fellow roommate Nikita Kuzmin’s old dancing partner Layton has weighed in.
During a talk with Louis on Wednesday’s programme, Ekin-Su described Nikita as a ‘nice guy’ and a ‘genuine friend’.
But when she was asked if she fancied him, she replied: ‘I’m respectful, he’s in a relationship.’
‘I will only fancy someone if they show me genuine… if they’re nice, I don’t go for looks anymore,’ she added.
‘I’ve had one ugly boyfriend,’ she went on, revealing she’s had five boyfriends in the past, but playing coy over who she loved the most.
Just hours later, Ekin-Su followed Nikita into the bedroom when Sharon left, after The Osbournes actress stated that Nikita had the most influence on her in the house during emotional times.
Ekin-Su told Nikita, who was stripping off and changing at the time: ‘What Sharon said about you is spot on. I think she did the right thing. You’re a good friend and a good person and someone I can trust.
‘You have the energy that I can trust you when I say something to you.
‘You’re not like those guys that have an attention, you don’t have that about you and that’s really rare.’
‘Thank you Ekin-Su, that’s really sweet of you, everybody is really lovely to me,’ the pro dancer replied, with Ekin-Su adding: ‘It’s because you deserve it.’
The chat didn’t go down well with Layton, who blasted Ekin-Su during an appearance on Late and Live.
He said: ‘That was really awkward to see honestly because I was giving her like fair play girl when she said “oh no he has a girlfriend”.
‘Which by the way just because somebody has a partner it doesn’t mean they would be interested in you anyway so I don’t really like that angle, no shade, full shade.
‘But then to go into the bedroom whilst he is changing, girl give the boy some privacy and to be giving compliments, I’m just like read the room.
‘Nikita just went thank you so much, and left. Yes that’s my Nikita.’
Nikita, 26, who got dance to the Strictly final with Layton before losing to Vito Coppola and Ellie Leach, revealed his relationship with girlfriend Lauren Jaine last year.
Confirmation that they were an item came after months of conjecture, including Lauren’s appearance in the crowd for the Strictly live concerts.
However, the incredibly laidback pair opted to kick off their romance in the most casual way possible, with a romantic picture dump on Instagram.
According to a source who spoke with The Sun, Nikita and Lauren had been dating for months and had a strong relationship.
‘The pair have tried to keep their romance under the radar but they have been attending events together and are really enjoying each other’s company.
‘They have been spending a lot of time together and even went on holiday together in the summer.
‘Things are progressing and Nikita is very happy with his new romance.’
Since then, they’ve piled on the PDA for their internet fans and are no strangers to a heartfelt message.
Adorable!
