Reality TV star and influencer Ashley Ogle took a thinly veiled jab at Big Brother Mzansi on the day it kicked off Season 6 of the popular series and introduced the season’s contestants.

The former Big Brother Mzansi Umlilo housemate was notably absent from Big Brother Mzansi: The Special, a four-part reunion that brought back contestants from the Umlilo and Siyamosha seasons. Ogle competed on Umlilo and was evicted in February 2025 after housemates nominated her for eviction, with Head of House Swiss casting the deciding vote to break a tie between her and Nsuku.
