Viewers are well aware of the history between Mercy and Ike, yet no one expected him to react in such a way as a new BBNaija All Stars should signify a clean slate for the both of them. Their split was made public with the discontinuation of their show together.
While they were so in love in Biggie’s house during the lockdown season, it appears their love could not survive outside factors. Fans could not tell if there was any connection left or if it was a clean split.
It is because of their shared history that fans are paying close attention to the interaction between them. While she made her first appearance into the house, Ike manifested his nervousness. He immediately reached for water and started drinking.
Fans believe this was not as a result of thirst but anxiety at their close proximity. In such confined space again, everyone is wondering if they can work out things or if they would continue as perfect strangers.
