Ebuka Obi Uchendu, host of the Big Brother Naija show, has debunked reports that Groovy has bad breath.

Some fans of the show alleged that Groovy had a mouth odour after a gesture from Ebuka suggested that he was wading off bad breath.

Ebuka had, during Groovy’s introduction to the show on Saturday, itched his nose.

But, reacting, Ebuka denied the report.

And na nose, I've been just scratching o! Make una allow Groovy to rest, "he tweeted.

Meanwhile, there are 25 housemates battling to win the N100 million grand prize.

The housemates were split into two houses and were not aware that there were other contestants.
