SHEILLA REPS BOTSWANA

INTERVIEW WITH SHEILLA

Sheilla is a student from Gaborone in Botswana, currently studying an AAT Diploma. She entered Big Brother Hotshots because she believes that "it's a platform for people like me who were born for the spotlight. It puts us out there to succeed in our careers – in my case, my music career".

She's excited that the whole continent will be watching her: "it is like interacting within the house with someone invisible, or a ghost, and the thought of what they think just gives you an adrenaline rush".

She says her best quality is that she analyses things before overreacting in certain situations. She likes people who are communicative because it helps her see what they think of her and how she should behave around them. She dislikes bossy people and "people with similar strands of personality to me".

She likes to eat prawns and rice, as well as pap and beef. Her favourite book is In The Meantime and her top TV shows include Big Brother Africa, Keeping Up With The Kardashians and How Do I look? She enjoys the music of Beyonce, K.O., AKA and Tamela Mann and says her favourite actors are Cameron Diaz and Dwayne Johnson. Her favourite films also include The Hunger Games, Wrong Turn, The Break of Dawn and Mean Girls.

Sheilla's favourite part of Botswana is the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans and says that the best thing about Africa is "the diverse but highly-principled cultures which Africans tend not to leave behind". She says that Las Vegas is her favourite place outside of Africa, because "it is a crazy, forever jolly holiday destination".

The vintage clothing lover prefers beauty over brains because beauty radiates a positive character. She loves her derriere and calls a spade a spade.
