Big Brother Bio
Lotus hails from Dar es Salaam. Fluent in English, Kiswahili and Swedish, she is also a dancer and choreographer, with a diploma in TV journalism.
She says her favourite place in her country is the islands, including Zanzibar and Pemba. "I just love to explore the islands," she says. "It's like a country within a country".
She says the best thing about her country is the mixture of people and tribes "and we still live in harmony". She says that children are her role models because they never forget to be themselves.
Lotus entered Big Brother Amplified because she needs the prize money to do her projects and also because "it should be lots of fun to be with Africans from all over the continent".
She says that people should watch the show because it will be more entertaining than it was last year. Her favourite former Big Brother contestant is Tatiana, because she was "fun and a free spirit".
Lotus' happiest memory is falling in love for the first time – and likes spending time with fun people who like to enjoy life. She dislikes "people who are in their heads" and regards herself as quite a trend-setter.
She says her worst habit is "using too much toilet paper"!
