CELEBRITY Big Brother co-stars Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Louis Walsh have reunited months after falling out in the famous house.
The pair’s controversial clash led to Ekin’s early exit after she dramatically turned on Louis by putting him up for eviction.
Despite the pair being best friends on the ITV reboot, Ekin-Su’s betrayal during face-to-face nominations led to her downfall.
However, the pair have put their past behind them and teamed up for a major new beauty store launch.
They were also joined by Bradley Riches who narrowly missed out on a place in the final after a back door eviction.
Love Island star Ekin-Su, 29, and her pal Louis marked the opening of BPerfect’s Belfast store.
They posted a video of their reunion, captioning it: “We get each other.”
In the short clip, Louis pretends to be meeting Ekin for the first time – and asks for her number.
She tells him: “It’s 999” as they both burst out laughing.
The reunion is all the more surprising given Ekin has distanced herself from all things Big Brother after being voted out of the house.
She skipped the CBB final after being grilled by hosts Will Best and AJ Odudu on sister show Late and Live following her exit.
Studio guest Layton Williams also criticised her after she complained at being edited unfairly, despite not having seen the footage.
After her now show, she then revealed she would be taking a break from the spotlight.
Her ill-fated time on the reality show saw her slammed for her “flirty” antics towards co-starNikita Kuzmin, 26, and her negative attitude when quizzed about her Love Island past.
However, last week she claimed to be “refreshed and recharged” and she now appears to be back on top.
