First runner-up of the recently concluded Big Brother Naija, Cee-c, has opened up on the reported relationship between her and the show’s host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu.
There were speculations while the show was on that the pair dated before Ebuka got married.
But in an interview published in the May 2018 edition of Media Room Hub magazine, Cee-c denied having a relationship with Ebuka.
The 25-year-old revealed she was surprised to hear she had a relationship with the media personality, who she said she only met during a pageant and at a business presentation.
She said, “This is one of the things that surprised me when I got out of Big Brother house because I never suggested that I and Ebuka dated. He is a married man for God’s sake.
”The first time I mentioned Ebuka in the show was when he asked us of our role model and I kept saying he is because he is a lawyer and so am I.
”I kept wondering how he is relevant in the industry, despite not being an actor or an artist.
”I have met Ebuka outside the house, but it was not like a personal meeting, it was just during a beauty pageant he was hosting and I was a contestant. I remember I also had a business proposal and I wanted to work with him because he is a brand influencer.
”I also remember I met him and did a presentation before the house, that was the only time I met him. It is possible Ebuka might not remember me cause he met a lot of people.
”This happened months before the show. When I was doing the Big Brother thing, he never contacted me and I didn’t either.”
