Big Brother bosses have launched an inquiry following claims that naughty nurse Makosi is an actress, according to a newspaper report.

The 24-year-old is said to have joined London's Envenio agency, which describes itself on the Internet as the UK's biggest Web site for helping people "like you" appear in films, TV programmes, reality shows, photo shoots, music videos and adverts.

It also says that the Big Brother programme-maker, Endemol, is a client.

The Sun claims a £609.68 bill was sent to Endemol for studio hire, tapes and photos - allegedly relating to Makosi's audition tape

The paper says it has a copy of an invoice from Envenio's sister company, The Casting Suite, to Endemol.

The paper was told by an Endemol spokesman: "It is possible we advertised through Envenio, we do advertise widely for people to audition.

"But Makosi went through the proper audition process and was not fast-tracked in any way.

"We do not know what the invoice relates to. We are investigating."

Envenio has confirmed Makosi was on its books.

Envenio's chief executive, Paul Booth, admitted sending her details of the Big Brother auditions.

But he denied the firm had made her a professional audition tape, and said the £609.68 invoice obtained by The Sun was unrelated to Makosi.

Mr Booth told the Press Association: "As far as we know, Makosi is not an actress. She signed up for our new faces section, which is for members of the public who aspire to be involved in the business. She put her details on our Web site.

"We emailed Makosi details of the Big Brother auditions, just like we emailed a lot of our members.

"We connect our members with the TV companies but it is no different to a company walking down the street looking for people.

"The invoice is from our sister company, The Casting Suite, and was for a completely separate job we did for Endemol."

Mr Booth said his company had supplied members of the public for various Channel 4 and E4 shows, such as A Place In The Sun, and supplied extras for films including Charlie And The Chocolate Factory.

Makosi paid £75 to advertise her details on its site, and had her photograph taken by the firm's photographer.

An Endemol spokesman also said the invoice was for a separate job unrelated to the Big Brother housemates.

This is just drumming up some hype before the final, it was pretty flat beforehand.

lily. · 11-08-2005, 04:14 PM

Yeah, you may be right. Makosi will enjoy knowing that she was in the limelight when she gets out. We all know how much she loves the attention!

She won't win though. And, I shall be here watching her lose! Mwahahahahahahaha!

ThaGazBoi · 11-08-2005, 04:14 PM

and i shall be watching Anthony not win :-D seeing as eugene is fave again

ThaGazBoi · 11-08-2005, 04:27 PM

i dont belive it

Sticks · 11-08-2005, 04:43 PM

Oh ye of short memories

Remember that Narinda (BB2) had been an actress in Bollywood before she did Big Brother

Sunny_01 · 11-08-2005, 04:54 PM

I dont think that the article actually says she has been employed as an actress for BB. My understanding of it was that they had asked for people to apply but they ask for people from all walks of life to apply. I dont think we should be jumping on this so quickly. After all it was the Sun that published the article and they reckon Elvis is alive and there are buses on the moon!

Ashley_Bash · 11-08-2005, 07:01 PM

what it tells u her mobile number?

OPL73 · 12-08-2005, 11:43 AM

Bumped up because peopel are posting threads ont he same thing.

harry · 12-08-2005, 11:46 AM

See my post about her "Slip up" - one has to be bright to lie and she made a mistake

Yeah Sunny I think it's great the way the Sun can bend the truth so much...and it's even better how they can plant the false thoughts into peope's heads...just goes to show how gullable and naive some people are.Well then some just choose what they want to believe...God if it was "Ant's an actor" it would be brushed aside without hesitation.

C'mon guys it's The Sun and both Endemol and the agency have straightened out the story...but have The Sun reported on that...erm don't think so?!Talk about sensationalism.

The story from what both Endemol and the agency have said is that Endemol pay agencies to raise awareness of BB auditions and recruit people to go to auditions.The agency sends it's clients who want to be on telly to these auditions and in return get paid for recruitment.Is that hard to understand?

There are millions of companies and agencies out there who do this.Funny though how it was all to target Makosi...obviously The Sun are pro-Eugene...sad that they have to resort to these kind of tactics though.

harry · 12-08-2005, 11:53 AM

I don't think it has anything to do with the Sun - the girl has been lying through her teeth from day one.

Birmingham Post, Monday 1st August 2005:
"...being on a casting agent's books can be a stepping stone to reality TV, which can in turn lead to other work. Makosi Musambasi, now second-favourite to win the current series of Big Brother, is just one of the hopefuls on Envenio's books...Your photo, contact details and a brief CV are put in an online searchable database and casting directors will contact you directly if they want to use you."

But it has only been since that Sun story that her odds have slipped to 33-1....erm what a coincidence?!

GlitterEyes · 12-08-2005, 11:57 AM

Then congratulations the sun for once, done something useful...makosi slipped because people hate her and more and more fans have dropped her not just because of an article.

Sunny_01 · 12-08-2005, 01:03 PM

So what does that mean then Red - me being a little bit blonde means that I still have no idea who is favourite to win?

Red Moon · 12-08-2005, 01:10 PM

Eugene is favorite followed by Anthony, Makosi and then Kinga

Sunny_01 · 12-08-2005, 01:11 PM

Ok - I have not seen any newspapers today has anything else been said about Makosi? has it blwon her out of the water? will she stand any chance at all of winning the show?

*PlayGirl* · 12-08-2005, 01:13 PM

Yup Moloko's an actress... Her ''company'' paid Endemol £609.68p to get her a place in the house and fast-tracked her through the audition process!

RandomGirl · 12-08-2005, 01:14 PM

Makosi still has a chance, look at the previous years. Scott was popular and ended up third. Plus alot of voters still havent voted and will vote tonight...the only one who doesnt stand a chance is kinga.
