Big Brother finalist Segun Shodipo has revealed he and Hanah Haji are yet to address his comments about their ‘flirty’ friendship, after they were revealed in awkward fashion during Friday’s final.
The videographer, 25, finished in sixth place when the series ended last week, after days of leaving viewers guessing about his feelings for fellow housemate Hanah.
Despite saying that he was seeing another girl on the outside, many housemates questioned whether Segun and Hanah had developed feelings for one another, after witnessing their flirty behaviour.
The pair both insisted that they could never be together due to their differing faiths, but Hanah was unaware that Segun had previously told housemate Khaled Khaled that she was the one who initiated their playful behaviour.
Hanah learned of the comments during her exit interview, furiously saying she ‘didn’t respect them at all,’ and in an interview with MailOnline, Segun said they are waiting for the social media storm to die down before they address things.

The pair set tongues wagging with their close friendship on the ITV show, despite Segun’s admission that he was seeing a girl on the outside
He added that Hanah’s close friends did apologise to him after the final, having previously implied to their pal in a voice note that she should ‘be mindful’ of Segun.
Segun said: ‘So it’s quite sad that we haven’t spoken yet, I’m still learning how to navigate things from my sense as to how to approach it with her.
‘I haven’t heard anything from her either, the last message I did get was from her home girls, when the day after the final.
‘But they came up to me and showed me a lot of love and said ”listen, we understand it’s a bit of a circus, we understand, we’re so sorry for what’s going on with you”, which was quite sweet to have.’
Noting that he is definitely planning to speak to Hanah in due course, Segun said ‘there’s a lot of noise polluting their heads right now.’
He added: ‘I want to let that die down first, then speak to her, because she was a genuine family to me in the house from beginning to the end, and I really did enjoy our friendship and I don’t want that to just die down because of a lot of misunderstanding and what’s been misconstrued. So I definitely want speak to her.’
Segun admitted that he was certainly ‘scrutinised’ about his friendship with Hanah at the final, and he’s finding it ‘weird’ adjusting to life since leaving the house.
He added: ‘That final night was crazy. Definitely felt like I was scrutinised a bit more than regular. I was being called the villain and all sorts of stuff.

After winning £10,000 as part of the show’s Final Week Vault twist, Segun left the Big Brother house in sixth place
‘So it was it was a bit difficult to deal with it, and the family weren’t so pleased. I think most people know me. that are around me. that I’ve generally composed myself as a good person, as a kind person.
‘Even working in charity work like my mindset is not set on trying to upset people… but again you can’t please everybody.
‘So readjusting, it’s been weird, I haven’t looked too much at socials because I don’t want to get too cut down.
‘But I’m also getting loads of love, which is really boosting me up. And I feel like, because I was authentic, people are seeing the true side and people are seeing the good things as well. That’s what I’m happy about.’
Segun also confirmed that he is still in touch with the girl that he had been speaking to before his Big Brother stint, and after winning £10,000 in the Vault during the Final Week, was planning to splash out on a trip to Paris.
He continued: ‘I definitely want to sort my mum out, bless my mum with that. I also want to take the girl I’m talking to, to Paris, because I always said I’d take her to Paris.
‘I also want to give some money to Cancer Research UK. I still want to go forward and bring a lot of awareness to what they do, because I believe in their mission as well. So going forward, any voice I have just to draw on eyes on that generally.’
