“Today is a birthday of sorts for me. One year ago, I left the Big Brother House as runner-up and set upon a path that has been beyond my wildest dreams.

“People always ask me about my time in the house, but the truth is none of us imagined the hype surrounding everything we were doing and how our lives were going to change.

“It still takes me by surprise when I travel around the world and people come up to me to wish me well and sometimes even quote things I said from a year ago.

“I went to the house with just one purpose, which was to reach as many people as possible and showcase my talent.

“When I think of the things that my Big Brother experience has allowed me to do in the past 12 months, it is difficult to do so without overwhelming gratitude,” she wrote.

The actress and singer also thanked her manager, The Temple Management company and family for supporting her dreams during and after the show.

Aiyeola finally got into the Big Brother house in 2017 after auditioning for the show for nine consecutive years. She came second after popular winner, Efe Ejeba.
