Actor, broadcaster and red carpet personality, Uti Nwachukwu, has called on Africa Magic to bring back Big Brother Africa, the continental reality show that shut him into limelight.
Stating how much he misses the show, Uti posted a photo collage on Instagram on Thursday of himself and fellow Big Brother participants when they met in South Africa in 2013/2014.
Tayo Faniran, the last Nigeria to participate in the highly rated show, added his voice to the plea when he comment and said “Yes O! People ask me all the time ‘When is the next one?’ Nice one bro.”
Uti was a housemate on Big Brother Africa 3 in 2008. He returned to the show in 2010 and won the Big Brother Africa: All Stars edition.
The 34-year-old is currently presents Jara on Africa Magic.
Big Brother Africa was introduced in 2003. It took a break and returned for the second edition in 2007, with the last held in 2014.
Owners of the show, Mnet, said in a 2016 statement that the show was under evaluation and not part of the upcoming programming schedule.
“At the moment, the team is busy re-evaluating the strategic direction of Big Brother Africa. Be assured that when it returns, it will be bigger and better,” the statement said.
