Makhosi Musambasi |
BIG Brother minx Makhosi Musambasi said she is "in a happy place" after UK media reports claimed she had been deported to Nigeria. The 31-year-old ex-cardiac nurse had flown in from Lagos to London's Heathrow International Airport using a relative's passport, it was claimed. But alert immigration officers recognised the Zimbabwean and sent her back the next day.
Britain's The Sun newspaper claimed that £12 000 was seized from Makhosi - who came third in the 2005 Channel 4 Big Brother series. "The UK Border Agency said the money was being investigated," the newspaper reported. Makhosi claimed asylum in the UK and was granted after a court battle. She is entitled to a UK travel document which would allow her to travel to any country other than Zimbabwe.
