Star actress and producer Funke Akindele
On Sunday, September 22, 2019, star actress and producer Olufunke Ayotunde Akindele paid a visit to the Big Brother Nigeria house.
While chatting with the “Pepper Dem” housemates, the 42 years old Lagos State-born daughter of a medical doctor mother and a retired school principal father did not hide her admiration for the sexy attires often adorned by one of the BBNaija housemates, Mercy Ekeh.
“I love all your outfits, Mercy. I can’t wait for you to be out and rock them to feel sexy,” the mother of one popularly known as Jennifer for her lead role in her sitcom ‘Jennifer’s Diary’, told Mercy.
Funke promised to patronise Mercy’s collections and wear her outfits in order to “feel sexy” when she leaves the Big Brother house.
Mercy, 25, is a video vixen and Lagos-based businesswoman. According to her, she designs all her wears and would use the N60 million prize money to set up her fashion outfit if she emerges winner of the Season 4 reality show.
