Big Brother Naija season four winner, Mercy Eke, says she regrets taking part in the reality television show, even though she has enjoyed the benefits that came with it.
She made this known during an interview on media personality, Toke Makinwa’s show, Toke Moments which was published on Saturday.
Eke, who won the fourth edition of the show in 2019 and returned for an All Stars edition, said the attention that came with her time on the programme had made it difficult for her to find peace.
“I regret going to Big Brother, even though I love the benefits that come from it,” she said.
The reality star explained that constant public scrutiny had taken a toll on her, adding that she often struggled to sleep because of how her life was compared to others who were not in the public eye.
“I wish I didn’t go, because I have friends who… I know people who are like, okay, this person has passed me but nobody’s talking about them, because they are not out there. But me, I’m not doing anything, and I can’t even sleep at night,” she said.
Eke told Makinwa that she returned for the All Stars edition in pursuit of prize money, but noted that the experience differed from what she expected.
