Reality TV star, Pere Egbi has set the record straight on his alleged relationship with colleague Mercy Eke
This revelation comes amid claims suggesting a romantic connection between the two, as they have openly expressed affection for each other both in the Big Brother house and during media interviews outside.
Despite receiving gifts from fans, often referred to as ‘shippers’ supporting their relationship, Pere clarified today, on November 29, that he and Mercy Eke are not dating.
In his statement, he said, “Dear shippers while I appreciate your efforts and care from inception, I would love to be clear on one thing I am not dating Mercy Eke. So please cease with the flowers mentioning her name. This is as concise as I can be.”
Shortly after his statement, fans and well-wishers flooded the comments section to express their reactions.
