Ekin-Su Culculoglu and Levi Roots became the two latest stars to be booted from the Celebrity Big Brother house during Friday's double-eviction.
The pair received the least amount of public votes and left the show after viewers opted to save Louis Walsh, Fern Britton and David Potts.
Ekin-Su, 29, was booed by the crowd as hosts Aj Odudu and Will Best announced the result, and she appeared terrified while hugging her fellow housemates goodbye.
Her dramatic exit came just a day after the Love Island winner's team issued a plea to viewers to stop writing abusive messages about her.
In comparison Dragon's Den success story Levi, 65, was greeted with cheers before being reunited with his family.Ekin-Su Culculoglu and Levi Roots became the two latest stars to be booted from the Celebrity Big Brother house during Friday's double-eviction

The entrepreneur couldn't wipe the smile off his face after admitting earlier in the show that he was ready to leave due to missing his family.
Meanwhile, speaking in her exit interview, Ekin-Su said she thought viewers had a preconceived idea of who she was, despite trying to show the 'real her'.
She'd had been criticised by fans for her 'hysterical' crying on Thursday night's episode when Marisha Wallace nominated her in face-to-face noms.
She stormed off to bed as theatre star Marisha followed her to apologise - as she raged about her reason for nominating her.
But Ekin-Su's family and friends have now asked fans to lay off criticising her, saying it was difficult for them to read 'hateful comments' and 'physical abuse threats'.
In a statement on social media, they wrote: 'Last night was a really sad episode to watch. Ekin-Su has always cared and worn her heart on her sleeve and last night we saw that.
'What made last night a thousand times harder though is seeing and listening to hateful comments, trolling, name calling and physical abuse threats. Nobody deserves this behaviour and to read some of what we did last night.

In her nomination Marisha said: 'I know if I get to the final I can't beat you. I know that if you get to the final with me, you will win the public vote.
With Ekin-Su visibly seething, she added: 'I know that if we go head-to-head you have a huge following, you played these games before, you know how to win, and if I want to win this, if I ever have a chance, I wouldn't have a chance against you. I know that for sure.'
After Ekin-Su raged: 'I knew this was gonna happen, this judging me because I've been on a show before.'
