It all kicked off last night when Ekin-Su, 29, burst into tears after being unexpectedly nominated by Marisha Wallace.
The Love Island star insisted she needed “space” from the theatre performer after her decision to put her up for elimination.
Comforting her in the living room afterwards, Levi had tried to offer some reassurance – but it didn’t go down well with viewers.
He’d said, “People are jealous of you because you’re an amazing person.
“You are a star and that’s why people will always gravitate negatively to you. A shining light, that’s what I mean.”
But fans were left confused by his comments, especially since they’d believed he had a pre-existing friendship with Marisha before entering the house.
Taking to Reddit, one wrote, “He told Ekin that Marisha was jealous of her – everyone is confused because why would you say that about a friend?”
Someone replied, “Levi really baffled me with the jealousy comment. Where did he draw that conclusion from?”
Another added, “It’s odd to me because on launch night we saw that Levi already knew Marisha beforehand.
“Normally this should not influence the main show, sure, but if they’re already friends I can’t see why Levi would comfort Ekin Su and imply that Marisha is jealous of her. It doesn’t sit right with me at all.
One more agreed, “Telling Ekin what she wants to hear. But also isn’t Levi friends with Marisha? I’d be annoyed if my friend told someone I was jealous of them.
Last night saw Ekin break down in tears over the face-to-face nominations.
Ekin, David Potts, Fern Britton, Levi and Louis Walsh received the most votes, meaning that they could possibly end up being evicted on Friday’s double eviction.
But reality star Ekin was devastated that ZeZe Millz, Marisha Wallace, Fern Britton and Bradley Riches voted for her.
Marisha didn’t hold back for her reasons, telling the housemates that it was because Ekin has a big advantage that will help her win the final.
Ekin was fuming over her choice and later broke down in tears.
After Marisha’s nomination, Ekin fumed: “I knew this was going to happen.”
Louis asked how, to which she added: “Just judging me because I went on a f***ing show before.”
Later on Marisha asked why Ekin was mad at her and she explained she was upset because they’re “close”.
Later on in the bedroom Ekin said to herself: “If you wanna vote me out, vote me out.
“You’re not going to be weak.”
During the nominations, Ekin received back up from pal Louis.
Louis stirred up the drama telling Ekin: “Good girl. Good for you. Good for her!”
However ZeZe was having none of it and said: “Give it a rest Louis.”
Louis snapped back: “It’s nothing to do with you.”
ZeZe told him: “It’s nothing to do with you then either. If it’s nothing to do with me then it’s nothing to do with you. So leave it then.”
