While in the BBNaija house, Diane had expressed her interest to join the Nigerian film industry when movie star and producer, Funke Akindele-Bello visited the house.
Akindele-Bello even offered to give Diane a role in her popular TV series, ‘Jenifa’s Diary’ on live TV. The Jenifa star went on to officially offer Diane a role in the TV series after she was evicted from the reality show on September 30, 2019.
Many had expected the reality star to jump on Akindele-Bello’s offer but she just surprised fans with her Nollywood debut, which is a self-produced film.
