BBTitans: Nana Makes U-turn, Says She’s Straight — Not Bisexual

A former Big Brother Titans (BBTitans) housemate, Nana, has explained that she is heterosexual.

The 22-year-old was one of the three housemates evicted from the reality TV show on Sunday after securing the lowest number of votes from viewers.

In a recent interview monitored by NAN on Tuesday, Nana withdrew her initial statement about her sexuality.

“My sexuality is straight, I am not bi-sexual, I am straight,” she said.

Nana had earlier disclosed that she is bisexual and does not enjoy sex.

In the interview, the reality star also said she had a fantastic experience in Big Brother’s house.

Nana, who hails from Kaduna state, said her fifth week at the house was her most memorable while her lowest moment was when she became ill.

The reality star said she wanted to win the grand prize but was left “in shock and disbelief” when she was asked to vacate the house.

She, however, predicted that Ebubu would emerge the winner of the show.

“My experience in the house was really good, it was the best thing. Though, I want the money but the experience is more than that for me,” she added.

“I had fun and enjoyed myself to the fullest. I loved my stay in the house and am happy to have met all the people I met in the house, a very fantastic experience for me.

“I didn’t hug any of the housemates because I was in shock and disbelief. I was emotional and was not just myself. At that moment, I just needed to leave the show and have some fresh air.”

BBTitans is a fusion of Nigerian and South African versions of the Big Brother franchise.

The show premiered on January 15. It will end on April 2, 2023.

The winner of the show is expected to go home with a grand prize of $100,000.
