I Will Stop At Nothing to Win – Huddah

Controversial socialite Huddah Monroe and psychology graduate Annabel Mbaru are the Kenyan housemates in the eighth edition of Big Brother Africa that kicked off on Sunday.

Huddah told the reality show host IK that “I will not stop at nothing” to get the $300,000 (Sh25.5 million) prize money. “It’s a once in a lifetime experience,” she said.

The 21-year-old’s profile details that she is a model with a diploma in programming. She loves Chinese food, ugali and fish. Her favourite books are Who Moved My Cheese by Spencer Johnson and A Man of the People by Chinua Achebe and she enjoys watching The Oprah Winfrey Show and America’s Next Top Model. Her favourite musicians are Rihanna and Prezzo and her favourite actress is Angelina Jolie, “because she is beautiful, hardworking, a great actress and very charitable”.

Her role model is Marilyn Monroe, because “she was intelligent, a go-getter, a sexy woman with a charming smile and also very popular”. She says God is the major influence in her life, because he has always been there for her and always answers her prayers. She says the achievement she’s most proud of is having worked hard to create her brand, which has helped her become known in the modelling industry.

Annabel, 24, doesn’t have any children – but considers her pets to be her babies. She enjoys reading philosophical literature. She loves attention and is looking forward to having Africa’s eyes on her 24/7. “It makes me feel like the princess I’ve always been,” she says. Her family is happy she’s going to be on the show and she says they can’t wait to tell everyone they’re related to her.
