Louis Walsh paid an ‘eye-watering amount’ to party with Ekin-Su for just a few hours

Former Celebrity Big Brother star Louis Walsh was reportedly paid an astonishing £12,000 to attend a beauty salon launch party with his co-star Ekin-Su Culculoglu.

The pair were all smiles for the camera as they stepped back into the spotlight to support the launch of BPerfect in Belfast. Also in attendance was Bradley Riches, who was also in the iconic reality TV house. In the snap, both Bradley and Louis were pictured kissing Ekin-Su, 29, on the cheek as she smiled shyly for the photo, but it wasn’t that long ago that the pair clashed in the infamous CBB house.

This came after Ekin-Su’s personal appointment of Louis, which ultimately led to her dramatic demise. While in the house, she said: “I just feel like Louis is a bit lazy and I prefer someone who is a team player. I would like him to be more practical with housework around the house. That’s why I nominate Louis.”

A source told The Sun: “Louis has been away from the celeb party scene for a long time but he is popular now that he is on CBB. He was paid a huge £12,000 to appear last night. He was paid a huge fee for CBB , so it’s no surprise that he can ask for a lot. Ekin was also there as an ambassador for the brand and showed Louis the tricks of the trade.’

Louis was lured into the ITV reboot of the show for an estimated £850,000 and shared the house with a number of high-profile celebrities including his friend Sharon Osbourne, Zizi Milz, Levi Roots and Fern Britton. He previously admitted: “They paid me a lot of money.” And speaking to the Irish Independent, he said: “They said they really, really wanted me. They kept looking at me, and yet I said no, because I was scared. I don’t want to be a celebrity. fake world. I do not feel. I love music and staying under the radar. I still haven’t looked at it.

However, Ekin-Su was basking in her newfound status after her appearance on the show didn’t seem to go to plan, especially following her feud with housemate Marisha Wallace over nominations. As a result of her elimination, Ekin-Su was grilled by presenters AJ Odudu and Will Best, but when Strictly Come Dancing star Layton Williams appeared on the show’s spin-off programme, Late and Live, Ekin-Su realized she was at fault made. while you are in the house.

The reality TV star was pointed out by the performer that her attitude did not come across well. And this seemed to be the trigger for her decision to remove herself from social media for a while. Weeks later, she wrote on Instagram to discuss her removal from the spotlight. She said, “I hope you don’t think I was selfish for setting boundaries and putting my own needs first last night. I am fully aware that not everyone will understand my absence, or think it was the right decision to make, BUT it was the right decision for me.”

Unfortunately for Ekin-Su, she also appeared to fall out with presenter Lorraine Kelly as it was thought she had simply decided not to turn up for an interview on the ITV show. But in an attempt to clear up the misunderstanding, Lorraine issued an official ITV apology to Ekin-Su. It read: “We would like to clear up a misunderstanding: Ekin-Su did not withdraw from the show this morning and throw the program into chaos.”
