Marisha Wallace has received life-changing career news but Celebrity Big Brother bosses aren’t allowed to tell her about it.
The 38 year old American actress could bag herself an Olivier award, one of the biggest awards in acting. However, she won’t know about it until she leaves the house because the reality show’s rules prohibit contestants from knowing what goes on in the outside world.
Marisha joined the Celebrity Big Brother house earlier this month. She had just finished performing in the critically-acclaimed musical Guys and Dolls at London’s Bridge Theatre.
