Although not everyone who went through reality shows were able to sustain the fame, we have celebrities who used these shows as a stepping stone to actualizing their dreams and have over time remained recognized for what they do. Here are 10 celebrities who got their start on reality TV. Ebuka Obi Uchendu Ebuka known for his trendy styles and fashion was a housemate on the first season of Big Brother Naija reality show.
