Love Island star, 29, was due to speak to the Scottish presenter on her programme on Monday (March 18), but appeared to pull out at the last minute. The interview was scheduled just a few days after Ekin-Su was evicted from the house. The broadcaster has now shut down claims that Ekin-Su pulled out of the programme as they took to
Instagram to address the situation. Posted on the official Lorraine account, the statement began: "We'd like to clear up a misunderstanding, Ekin-Su did not pull out of the show or throw the programme into chaos . "We'd love to welcome her back on the programme soon. We apologise for the confusion." Lorraine seemed puzzled when she was asked about Ekin-Su's appearance during Monday's instalment of . Susanna Reid and Ed Balls were under the impression that Lorraine would be speaking to the TV personality. However, when they turned to the 64-year-old, it was confirmed that the reality star hadn't showed up for the interview. Susanna queried Lorraine: "We thought you might have Ekin-Su on." A confused Lorraine responded: "So did I.. but alas no. I don't know, we're trying to find out. She was due to come in right, but no." Following Ekin-Su's exit from Celebrity , she clashed with Layton Williams when he claimed she was attempting to "blame the edit". After the star admitted he sympathised with Marisha Wallace over their fallout, Ekin-Su fired back, claiming vital parts of their argument were cut. Layton immediately clapped back, saying: "We're not going to blame it on the edit." He fumed: "One thing we're not going to do is blame it on the edit. We see what we see and it was just a shame". Following the Late & Live episode, Ekin-Su took to
Social Media to thank those who saw her "genuine side". She wrote: “All I want to say is for those who saw me for me and [have] seen through me for my genuine side, thank you so much for following me and supporting me and being there for me and understanding where I was coming from – it means so much."
