Renowned Nigerian culinary expert, Hilda (Baci) Bassey, has shared her journey of auditioning for the BBNaija reality show a total of five times, without being selected.
She said that her intention was to enter the Big Brother house, achieve a certain level of recognition, and then leverage that fame to promote her Cookathon experience.
The Guinness World Record holder disclosed this while appearing on Cool FM Nigeria’s programme, The Big Friday Show, hosted by reality star, Tacha.
She said: “I actually tried to get on Big Brother Naija for a while. I think I auditioned about four or five times.
“The plan for the cook-a-thorn was still in the pipeline, so my goal was to go to Big Brother and then come out and do the cook-a-thorn.”
The Nation reported that Guinness World Records certified Hilda Baci as the new record holder for the longest cooking marathon by an individual.
