Nyoka King
Lives in: Johanessburg
Age: 23 Nyoka's unusual first name derives from an old Welsh word meaning “one of pure gold” – a fitting name for this blonde bombshell. Nyoka lives in Sandton and is a client relations manager. She and her boyfriend of three and a half years have just bought a house together in Sunninghill Gardens.
Nyoka loves her pets, she has an English bulldog called Ross and two cats, Pinto and Furby. To keep fit Nyoka enjoys belly dancing, and she dances professionally part-time. A typically creative Aquarian, Nyoka enjoys interior decorating and fashion. Her favourite foods are chocolate, cheese, steak and red wine.
She loves Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt and her favourite movie is Legend of the Falls. It’s not surprising that she describes herself as a romantic: “I cried when my boyfriend dropped me off at the Fear Factor set. ” Nyoka says her philosophy is: if you commit to something – give it your all.
She describes herself as fun-loving person with lots of energy, physically strong and focused.
She entered Fear Factor to make friends and have fun, and to find out what her fears are.
More about Nyoka: “I’ve had an interesting upbringing, my dad is Catholic and my mom Jewish. I hate discrimination and narrow-mindedness. I’m not materialistic,if the house were to burn down, it would be fine as long as Marc,myself and the animals were ok! Although,if I were to win Fear Factor,I would definitely pay off my bond.”
