She thereafter picked Terseer Kiddwaya as deputy HoH.

The development means the duo will be exempted from this week’s eviction show holding on Sunday in line with the newly introduced directive by Biggie, the instructive voice behind the show’s screen.

“All housemates, except HoH and Deputy HoH, will be up for nomination and therefore possible eviction each week as well as increased Voting power for those who are premium subscribers,” he had said.

The victory would come as boost for the new HoH after she was earlier penalised alongside Kiddwaya by Biggie for flouting the house rules during Sunday’s eviction show.

Erica is the third female to emerge HoH with Ozo being the only male to have clinched the much-coveted position so far.

Rebecca ‘Nengi’ Hampson had emerged the first HoH followed by Lucy Essien and then Ozo.
