CELEBRITY chef, Hilda Effiong Bassey, aka Hilda Baci, has opened up on auditioning to be a housemate on the reality show, Big Brother Naija five times before the cooking challenge.
The celebrity chef, who holds the Guinness World Record for the longest cooking marathon by an individual, had her eyes on the reality show before the cook-a-thon but was rejected five times.
Hilda, speaking on Cool FM Nigeria’s programme, The Big Friday Show, hosted by reality star, Tacha, said: “I actually tried to get on Big Brother for a while. I think I auditioned about four or five times.
“The plan for the cook-a-thon was still in the pipeline, so my goal was to go to Big Brother and then come out and do the cook-a-thon.”
The Big Brother reality show is ongoing, and this year’s edition features former housemates such as Ike, Mercy, Cee C, Neo, Venita, and Seyi.
