Life and career

[edit]

Queen MoJo was born Josephine Hanu D Morondiya on 4 November 1992 in Southwark, London.[1][2] She is of Nigerian descent.[3] MoJo is a dancer, and she has performed on stage at Glastonbury Festival with Lizzo, and has appeared in music videos for John Legend and Wiley.[3][4] In 2021, she starred in The Body Fights Back, a documentary that investigated diet culture, body image and eating disorders with MoJo sharing her own experiences.[2][5] The same year, she appeared in the ITV2 reality series Peckham's Finest, which follows the lives of a group of people who live in Peckham.[6] At the time of appearing on the show, she worked as a shop assistant and as a body confidence coach on social media.[7][8] She also appeared on Good Morning Britain, debating with Miss Great Britain winner Jen Atkin on whether it was acceptable for someone to be "dumped for gaining weight".[9]

In June 2022, MoJo appeared as a contestant on the third series of Celebrity Karaoke Club.[10][11] She entered the club on the fifth day alongside internet personality Arron Crascall.[12] After singing Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda", she was voted karaoke champion of the night, advancing to the final day.[13] In the final, she sang "Never Too Much" by Luther Vandross and a duet of "Umbrella" with Kaz Kamwi.[14] MoJo was then eliminated from the competition, finishing in joint third place with Bobby Norris. In August 2022, MoJo began competing in the seventeenth series of Celebrity MasterChef.[15][16][17] She competed in the second heat alongside Melanie Blatt, Chris Eubank, Gareth Malone and Cliff Parisi.[18][19] She was the first to be eliminated from the competition after her food was criticised for being undercooked.[20][21]
