Big Brother Africa Profile
Nairobi-born Annabel says she doesn’t have any children - but considers her pets to be her babies. She enjoys reading philosophical literature.
Her favourite foods include Ethiopian, Nigerian, Oriental and Italian and she lists her favourite TV show as Big Brother.
Annabel’s favourite place in Kenya is Mombasa, because she loves the water and says it’s the only place she finds peace and tranquillity.
Outside of Kenya, she loves Greece or Rome because of the way they have preserved the artefacts and culture through the generations. “I love art and I’d kill to live there!” she says.
She has 3 siblings - all brothers, and all older - and lists her late father as her role model because he taught her the art of tolerance and hard work.
Annabel says she loves attention and is looking forward to having Africa’s eyes on her 24/7. “It makes me feel like the princess I’ve always been,” she says.
Her family is happy she’s going to be on the show and she says they can’t wait to tell everyone they’re related to her.
