“When I went for Big Brother Naija, I wasn’t so sure of what I wanted to do in the entertainment industry. But being in the house, it became clearer by the day.

She also enjoys reading, cooking, playing tennis and hitting the gym regularly to keep fit. After researching, we found that Cee-C is not married and she is not even in a relationship that we know of.
While many fans had thought that she and fellow ex-housemate Tobi would continue their romantic relationship outside the house, it didn’t happen. Instead, it was another fellow ex-housemate, Leo DaSilva that she stuck with after the competition.

I just love her so much
