27-year-old Big Brother season 11 housemate, Whitney Chukwu, also known as Nomy, has been kicked out of the house.

Nomy was disqualified from the Big Brother Naija Show Ya Sef house for consistently going against the rules of the show and disregarding Big Brother.

Big Brother cited her repeated defiance of his instructions, including leaving her assigned bench and vest behind while serving as this week’s bench warmer.

Big Brother said her “privilege to participate in the game has been revoked” while instructing her to leave the house immediately.

Nomy, who hails from Anambra State, is a fashion entrepreneur and hoped to win the season 11 of the reality show.
