Nollywood actress Beverly Osu set the record straight on April 12, 2025, denying long-standing rumours of sexual activity during her 2013 run on Big Brother Africa: The Chase, speaking on Lagos’ Beat FM.

Osu, 32, who finished fifth in the reality show watched by 15 million across Africa, addressed speculation about her closeness with South Africa’s Angelo Collins, saying, “I didn’t have sex on the show, cameras were everywhere, and I valued my dignity.” The Enugu-born star, laughed off tabloid claims, noting her “flirty vibe” fueled misread moments like shared showers, which Nigeria’s 2013 audience, 70% Christian, debated heatedly.

Osu, a model turned actress with roles in 2024’s Mami Wata, said Big Brother’s $300,000 prize chase taught her resilience despite Nigeria’s runner-up loss to Zambia’s Cleo. The show, hosted in Johannesburg, saw 28 housemates compete over 91 days, generating $10 million for M-Net, per industry reports.

Osu’s openness counters 2013’s moral panic, 5,000 petitioned Nigeria’s NBC against her “immorality”, but she credits the exposure for her 50% career growth, landing deals with Glo and L’Oreal. Her 2025 memoir, Unscripted, teases more on BBA’s mental toll, with 30% of housemates seeking therapy post-show, per a DSTV study. Osu’s candor, backed by Collins’ 2014 denial, shuts down a 12-year myth, refocusing on her advocacy for mental health among Nigeria’s 220 million.
