CELEBRITY Big Brother star Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu's pals have revealed the secret signs that she uses to communicate with the outside world while on on TV.
The 29-year-old, who shot to fame on ITV2's Love Island in 2022, is one of the famous faces taking part in the revived series of CBB.
Ekin is no stranger to reality television - and knows that it means that she's got to spend long stints away from friends and family.
Luckily the Turkish soap star came up with a way of communicating with her loved ones while she was in the villa two years ago.
Ekin's best pal Arabella Ovenden told OK!: "We have this sign – if she ever plaits her hair that means that she misses me.
"She did it almost straight away."

Ekin won the eighth series of Love Island alongside her ex Davide Sanclimente.
The beauty has also taken part in Dancing On Ice, Celebrity Antiques Road Trip and The Traitors US since her time on the ITV2 dating show.
Earlier this week Ekin threw shade at those who use OnlyFans while chatting with some of the rest of her housemates.
She told Sharon Osbourne, Louis Walsh and Lauren Simon: “I’d rather have zero pounds than a million pounds doing it the wrong way, but have pride."
CBB viewers think that they have worked out why the reality star said that as her ex Davide was previously linked to a model from the platform.
Ekin and Davide went from strength to strength after their time on Love Island.
The pair moved in together, but briefly split last year, before reigniting their flame in the summer.
However the former couple decided to go their separate ways for good earlier this year.
Ekin wrote on Instagram: "The last 18-months have been a rollercoaster of ups and downs, just like every relationship. Davide and I both wanted to make this work as we cared deeply for each other.
Celebrity Big Brother line-up
Who are the 13 stars appearing in the Celebrity Big Brother house? The Sun's Jamie Downham takes a look...
Sharon Osbourne - TV legend - who is a "house guest" on a megabucks deal - said she was doing the show for "a good time not a long time"
Louis Walsh - Irish boyband manager who has never knowingly backed down from a fight and is not above pulling rank over the double bed
Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu - As we know from Love Island, the Ek-ster is capable of throwing about some dramatics to claw her way to the final
Levi Roots - Reggae Reggae Sauce sauce packs a bit of a kick, but its inventor seems quite mild-mannered. Will that change under pressure?
Fern Britton - The former This Morning star called out Phillip Schofield - don't think she won't do the same to anyone who tangles with her
Colson Smith - You'll probably know him best as Corrie's Craig Tinker - but prepare to find out he's not much like his character
David Potts - Ibiza Weekender's breakout star has left that show behind - as well as his trousers by the look of things
Gary Goldsmith - Kate Middleton's uncle is a big signing for ITV, but has proved a divisive booking among viewers
Marisha Wallace - It's not CBB without the role of 'American who doesn't know what they've let themselves in for' and she's doing brilliantly
Nikita Kuzmin - The Strictly pro is coming onto the show fresh off the show's tour. Poor lad probably just wants a rest
Zeze Mills - the social media star has a "no holds barred interview style" - and she hasn't backed away from calling people (well, Louis) out
Bradley Riches - The actor played kindly James McEwan in Netflix hit Heartstopper and he seems just as sweet in the house
Lauren Simon - She's a Real Housewives of Cheshire star and you really don't get on that show by being shy and retiring
"Unfortunately I have recently made the decision to end our relationship and to go our separate ways..
"Breakups are never easy. For any couple. And we hope that our privacy will be respected.
"I enjoyed our time together and the memories we made.
