It's fair to say former X Factor judge Louis Walsh hasn't been afraid of upsetting anybody during his time in the Celebrity Big Brother house, slating the likes of Jedward, Ronan Keating and James Corden in the last 10 days.

Louis has also been enjoying deep conversations with his fellow housemates about their love lives, in particular Love Island star Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, who split from her boyfriend Davide Sanclimenti earlier this year.

During the episode on Wednesday 13th March, Louis was chatting to Ekin-Su about a potential romance with co-star Nikita Kuzmin, with Ekin-Su dismissing the claims due to Nikita being in a relationship with model Lauren Jaine.

However, as viewers will know, just moments later scenes aired which showed Ekin-Su heading to the bedroom to chat to Nikita, where she seemingly flooded the professional dancer with compliments, with many viewers thinking she was 'flirting'.

Hosts Will Best and AJ Ododu chose to speak about the moment on Wednesday night's Late and Live, where Nikita's friend and Strictly partner Layton Williams appeared as a guest.

Will told viewers and the panel: "Tonight we saw Louis suggest a potential romance between Ekin-Su and Nikita, which she then totally batted away by immediately going and flirting with Nikita in the bedroom."

Layton slated the former Love Island star's actions, saying: "That was really awkward to see. By the way just because someone's got a partner, it doesn't mean that they're necessarily interested in you anyway.

"I don't really like that kind of angle. No shade... full shade. But then to go into the bedroom while he's changing, I'm just like, 'Girl, give the boy some privacy'... and to be giving him compliments, I'm like 'read the room'. And Nikita was just like, 'Thank you so much, peace'."

Although she hasn't gone into detail about her split from Davide, Ekin-Su has opened up about the relationship to her fellow housemates, admitting Davide was the boyfriend she loved the most.

The 29-year-old also told co-star Marisha Wallace: "Let's just say he hurt me," when the Broadway star asked about the reason for their split.

Celebrity Big Brother continues every Sunday-Friday at 9pm on ITV1/STV1.
