Big Brother’s Makosi Musambasi sent back to Nigeria and banned from the UK

There’s one problem with appearing on a whole host of reality TV shows and chasing dreams of fame and fortune, people are going to know what you look like!

It seems obvious, but it’s a fact that obviously didn’t cross Makosi Musambasi’s mind, when she tried to sneak back into the UK recently, using one of her relatives’ passports.



 The former Big Brother housemate flew into London’s Heathrow from Lagos, Nigeria and tried to gain access to Britain, however border officials reportedly recognised her straight away and sent her back the next day, though not before confiscating £12,000 that she was carrying.


Makosi shot to fame on the 2005 series of Big Brother, then on Channel 4 and is best remembered for her filthy antics in the pool, with eventual winner Anthony Hutton.

She went on to land a cameo role in the E4 zombie thriller Dead Set in 2008, has done some presenting work for MTV and in 2010, returned as a contestant on Ultimate Big Brother. She was the second housemate to be evicted, with 47.7% of the public vote, to a booing crowd.
