Jessica Nkosi has for the first time spoken out about her experience as a stand-in presenter of the wedding reality show Our Perfect Wedding where she unfortunately had to handle a mean bride on her first episode.
Jessica Nkosi and Anele Mdoda were announced as stand-in presenters on Our Perfect Wedding while current host Thembisa Mdoda takes a break from filming few weeks ago.
Jessica who professionally handled her first debut on OPW was applauded by many viewers on how she managed to handle the show with calmness and smile when the bride became so mean/rude because she was running late for the ceremony and she blatantly ignored Jessica when asked about her bridesmaids.
She had this to say:
“It was quite challenging. It was not easy at all but because of my tough upbringing and the fact that I can take the best out of a difficult situation, I managed to pull it off,” said Nkosi.
“Don’t get me wrong, I have Nigerian friends and I love Nigerians like any other person I’ve had close encounters with. Actually, there was no culture shock or anything of that sort. I’m used to the Nigerian way of life.”
Nkosi (26), who confesses that she adores weddings, said the only person who was difficult to work with was the bride. “She was not at ease. She gave the whole crew the run around. She was a bit difficult.
“But the groom was lovely. He was all chatty and wanted to get things going even when the MC failed to arrive on time.
“I did expect some drama because I’ve been watching the way Thembisa Mdoda (who is on leave) handles tricky situations,” she said.
