Former Big Brother Africa housemate Beverly Osu has opened up about the controversial sex scandal involving her and South African dance teacher Angelo Collins during the 2013 edition of the show.
She clarified that, contrary to popular opinion, she never had sex with Angelo on the show. However, she admitted that she was madly in love with him and that they were in a relationship.
Beverly said all these in a recent interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo on his WithChude podcast.
Speaking after the show about the scandal’s impact on her, Beverly admitted that it had a major impact on her in the early stages of her career.

She added that all the problems she’s faced in her life have resulted from love.
Beverly lamented that while she took a lot of positives with her from her time on the show, she is peeved that viewers remained fixated only on what transpired between her and Angelo.
She said,
“I was madly in love with Angelo and got too comfortable around him, which led to the rumours.
I have people that love me for who I am. And the highlight of it is that, I didn’t do it [have sex on reality show]. I was 20… I brought out so many things from Big Brother, other than that [my relationship with Angelo].
I was so irritated because that was the only thing viewers picked because I was in love. Literally, it was love. All my problems in life come from love.
Every problem that I have had in this life is because of the greatest gift of God; love. I was madly in love with Angelo. That was why I was free around him. I was dating na, make we tie gele? I was in love with him.”
Just last year, Beverly Osu has confessed that she is now glad that she didn’t win when she was a Big Brother Africa housemate back in 2013.
Speaking during a recent interview with HIPTV, Osu opened up about her career childhood and career trajectory, notably her time on Big Brother Africa, which put her in the limelight.
The host asked,
“You were never up for evictions in the reality TV show; did you think that your eviction was evil?”
In response, Osu revealed that she now sees her non-victory as a blessing in disguise and expressed relief that she did not win the competition at the time.
Humorously, she also noted that her mother did not want her to win the cash prize for fear of the cash prize leading her astray.
