Celebrity Big Brother winner David Potts reveals the six stars in their WhatsApp group chat – and those who aren’t amid feud rumours

Famous Big Brother winner David Potts has admitted that Ekin-Su Culculoglu and Louis Walsh are not in the contestants’ group chat, but insists there is no feud between the co-stars.

In March, David won CBB’s first series since 2018 – and the series has been plagued by controversy, especially surrounding 29-year-old Ekin-Su.

The Love Island 2022 winner was forced to take a social media hiatus after relentless trolling and pulled out of the final.

And it was reported that she had feuded with all of her castmates, one of whom, Marisha Wallace, she feuded with on the show when the latter voted to evict her.

Meanwhile, Louis, 71, created friends and enemies every day with his sharp tongue, with fellow contestant Fern Britton bearing the brunt.

It has long been reported that Ekin-Su had feuded with all of her castmates, with one of whom, Marisha Wallace, getting into an on-camera brawl when the latter voted to evict her.

Former Ibiza Weekender David told new! magazine: ‘Yes [the WhatsApp chat], with me, Colson, Bradley, Nikita, Zeze and Marisha. I’ll speak to Fern separately.’

“It’s just bits and pieces, wishing each other luck with what we’re all doing,” he added. ‘It’s beautiful.’

Missing from the chat are Ekin-Su, Louis, Levi Roots, Lauren Smith, Gary Goldsmith and Sharon Osbourne.

However, David’s reps told MailOnline that all the former housemates “get along great” and that “there is no feud whatsoever.”

It comes after Sharon, 71, branded two mystery housemates as ‘cringe’ and ‘desperate’ earlier this month.

Speaking on her family podcast The Osbournes, Sharon said: ‘They were both women and left it at that.

‘I don’t want to embarrass anyone, why. They weren’t mean to me, I just didn’t like them. I knew they were scammers. When you’re desperate, it’s a bit of a cringe.”

After the final, Louis responded to the huge backlash he received for his behavior.

Louis said in March: ‘I only told the truth. I wasn’t trying to be catty, I was just reporting what I saw… Some of the housemates were just boring and bland and playing for the cameras’

Louis described Fern (far right) as ‘wallpaper’ and said: ‘Nikita and Fern wanted this more than anything – they were playing for the cameras’ (Nikita pictured far left)

He told The sun: ‘I only told the truth. I wasn’t trying to be catty, just reporting what I saw. I was raised to tell it like it is. Some of the housemates were just dull and boring and played for the cameras.”

He also said, “Boating is okay. I mean, she really wanted to win. She was wallpaper, she doesn’t give you anything.’

Louis continued: ‘Nikita and Fern wanted this most: they played for the cameras. The person I would least like to hang out with is Gary [Goldsmith]. There was nothing wrong with the man; he shouldn’t have been there.’

Coming out of her social media hiatus, Ekin-Su said, “I know it’s not like me to hide, but I took time to think.

Ekin-Su has taken control of the situation with a powerful message addressing her absence from the finals and looking ahead to her next chapter

“Sometimes it is in our lowest moments that we learn the most important lessons about ourselves.

“I hope you don’t think I’m 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 this was the right decision, BUT it was the right decision for me.

“I chose to remove myself from a potentially uncomfortable situation that I would rather avoid.

“I’m proud of myself for realizing what I need during this time, despite the hate that may come my way.

“Accountability is key and when I’m ready I’ll provide some context about the last few weeks. Thank you to everyone who has sent kindness my way, I see you and I appreciate you. The new chapter begins now.’

She added: “I hope everyone enjoyed watching the CBB final. A big congratulations to David for the win.”
