The final saw the evicted housemates return – but Ekin-Su, Gary and Sharon were noticeably missing from the line-up.

As the hotly-anticipated final kicked off, hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best revealed the evicted housemates were back for the show.

However, when the camera panned to the group of celebs, only Levi Roots, Lauren Simon, Marisha Wallace, Zeze Millz and Bradley Riches appeared on screen – meaning three former housemates were absent.

Ekin-Su was withdrawn from appearing on the show, while Gary pulled out just hours before the final aired.

The Love Island star endured a turbulent spell on the ITV1 show before being voted out last Friday, becoming the fourth housemate to leave.

But her subsequent treatment post-elimination, which saw her embroiled in a bullying row on CBB spin-off show Late & Live before being wrongly accused of pulling out of an appearance on Lorraine, has sparked her management’s decision to exclude her from Friday night’s showpiece.

A source told MailOnline: ‘It’s been a bit of a tough couple of weeks for Ekin-Su.

‘She could have played the sob story card but has remained tight-lipped publicly and expressed to those around that she’s aware she must be accountable for a few things that have happened.

‘Understandably she is feeling vulnerable, but is using this time to gather her thoughts, and figure out next steps, which is why her management believes withdrawing her from the final is the most sensible move.

‘She has asked the team for some time to reflect which everybody is on board with.’

An ITV source added: ‘Ekin has been a part of some of ITV’s biggest shows over the last two years, including Love Island, Dancing on Ice, her own spin off show with Davide, and now Celebrity Big Brother.

‘As such a lot of the team there feel very protective towards her, and it’s a real shame she won’t be at the final.’

Elsewhere, Kate Middleton’s uncle Gary pulled out of the Celebrity Big Brother final following her shock cancer announcement.

The Princess of Wales announced on Friday that she has been diagnosed with cancer aged 42 and is undergoing ‘preventative’ chemotherapy.

In a deeply emotional video message, filmed at Windsor on Wednesday, Catherine revealed the news had come as a ‘huge shock’ and that she and William ‘have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family’.

Following the shocking news, Kate’s uncle Gary revealed in a social media statement that he is no longer attending the live final on Friday, where he was set to be reunited with his housemates and programme’s hosts.

Gary shared royal insight while in the Big Brother house which was said to have ‘infuriated’ his family as Kate Middleton recovers from abdominal surgery.

The millionaire businessman was the first housemate to be evicted from the ITV revival series of Celebrity Big Brother.

His statement read: ‘Following today’s news, I will not be attending tonight’s Celebrity Big Brother final. I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to my fellow Housemates and to everyone involved in the making of this brilliant show. I hope you all enjoy your special night.’

A Big Brother spokesperson confirmed to MailOnline: ‘Following today’s sad news, Gary has made the decision not to attend tonight’s Celebrity Big Brother final.

‘We fully support his decision and wish him and his family well at this difficult time. We’d like to extend our thanks to Gary for joining us this series.’

Celebrity Big Brother launched earlier this month, attracting the biggest audience in over a decade with 3.8m viewers across all devices, becoming ITV’s biggest programme title for 16-34s in March. 

Celebrity Big Brother has been streamed over 14 million times on ITVX so far and Celebrity Big Brother: Late & Live has remained the top performing title every night for ITV2.

Applications for the next series of Big Brother are open. Hopefuls looking to embark on the ultimate social experiment can apply to be a part of the next series of Big Brother set to air in 2024.
