4. Bella reveals other housemates are jealous of her friendship with Sheggz

Fan favourites, Bella and Shegga on Friday spoke about how other housemates are infuriated at the cordial relationship they have.

According to Bella, other housemates are trying to break up her relationship with Sheggz.

Speaking with Sheggz, Bella questioned why ‘Level Two’ housemates were trying to advise him and trying to break them up.

Bella was referring to Doyin and Chichi who aren’t fans of their ship. Doyin even admitted her feelings to Sheggz after they had a misunderstanding.

Bella stated that they were trying to break them up because they also wanted the princess treatment that Bella was receiving from Sheggz.

Chipping in, Sheggz disclosed how housemates have been comparing their relationship with past housemates, Ozo and Nengi and Erica and Kiddwaya.

Listen to their conversation below.

5. Introduction of the tail of the house reward

While Eloswag emerged as the winner of Head of the House challenge on Monday, Bella received the unwanted honour as the ‘tail of the house’.

She received the badge due to her poor performance in the HOH games and also finishing in last place.

Bella was directed by Biggie to wear her clothes inside out for the week. The directive excludes her undergarments.
