I auditioned for Big Brother Naija five times before Cook-a-thorn – Hilda Baci

Famous chef, Hilda Effiong Bassey, aka Hilda Baci, has revealed that she auditioned for Big Brother Naija reality show five times but wasn’t selected.

She said she planned to go on the reality show and become famous before staging her cooking challenge.

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.
