Dancer and reality TV star Liquorose has opened up about a difficult moment in her journey to Big Brother Naija, revealing that she actually came close to entering the show in 2020 before everything fell apart at the last minute.
Â
Speaking on a podcast with VJ Adams, Liquorose said she had already passed the stages, dressed up, makeup done, and was waiting backstage during the 2020 live launch show — only for the organisers to drop her unexpectedly.
Â
According to her, the experience left her depressed and made her question whether she still wanted to pursue her dream of being on the show.
Â
Liquorose and fellow hopeful Jaypaul later discovered they had tested positive for COVID-19, which made them ineligible for that year’s edition.
Â
She said the situation affected her so deeply that she almost refused to audition again in 2021. But after a friend encouraged her, she reluctantly tried once more — and later found the acceptance email sitting unnoticed in her spam folder.
Â
Liquorose eventually made it into the 2021 edition, finishing as the season’s runner-up behind Whitemoney.
