She stated that her aim was to compete in the cooking challenge after she had participated in BBNaija but was not chosen to be on the show.
The Guinness World Record holder made the announcement while appearing on Cool FM Nigeria’s The Big Friday Show, hosted by reality personality Tacha.
She stated:
“I actually tried to get on Big Brother [Naija] for a while. I think I auditioned about four or five times.
“The plan for the cook-a-thorn was still in the pipeline, so my goal was to go to Big Brother and then come out and do the cook-a-thorn.”
