MARISHA Wallace was nominated for a top award alongside Hollywood stars, but she will have no idea while she’s in the Celebrity Big Brother house.
The 38-year-old entered Big Brother’s fancy pad along with 12 other celebs earlier this month.
Marisha who had a successful career both in Broadway, and in the West End, was nominated for an Olivier Award.
The Olivier Awards is a ceremony that celebrates outstanding achievements in professional theatre in London.
Massive Hollywood stars that were also recognised include Nicole Scherzinger, Sarah Snook and Sarah Jessica Parker.
The official Celebrity Big Brother X/Twitter account announced: “Today in things that could only happen on Celebrity Big Brother… Marisha has been nominated for an Olivier Award, but won’t even know until she leaves the House!”
Fans flooded the comments urging bosses to “tell her.”
One user penned: “You’ve got the makings of a great TV moment if you tell her in the house”
Whilst another added: “She should be told!! Let the housemates celebrate her achievements with her.”
A third wrote: “We would love to see her happiness , and especially after what Louis said, surely Big Brother can make an exception to the rules for the fans.”
Marisha earned her stripes in Broadway shows Aladdin and Something Rotten before becoming alternate lead Effie White in Dreamgirls, following in the footsteps of Glee star Amber Riley.
After this she joined the original cast of Waitress as Becky, in the West End.
This was followed by a role in the London Coliseum production of Hairspray, where she played Motormouth Maybelle opposite Michael Ball.
Since 2023, Marisha has played Miss Adelaide in the West End’s Guys and Dolls.
