MALIKA Haqq often appears in hit show Keeping Up With The Kardashians so she's no stranger to reality TV.
But just who is Khloe Kardashian's bestie and where else might you have seen her? Here's the lowdown on the Celebrity Big Brother housemate who was evicted days before the final...
Who is Malika Haqq and does she have a boyfriend?
Malika is model, actress and "professional best friend" to Khloe Kardashian.
She played a lead role in friend Omarion’s video “Speedin’in addition to several films including School For Scoundrels, ATL and Somebody Help Me 2.
She has also guest-starred on TV shows such as Strong Medicine in 2004, The Bernie Mac Show in 2005, and Las Vegas in 2007.
Before she found her own feet, she worked for Khloe as her Personal Assistant, but quit to pursue her own career.
However, Malika hasn't starred in any films since quitting as Khloe's PA.
She has, however, starred in other reality shows such as Hollywood Divas and Dash Dolls - a KUWTK spin-off.
She is also a brand ambassador for Pretty Little Thing.
Before Malika entered the CBB house, it was claimed she dumped her boyfriend after he gave her a £750,000 watch for Christmas.
She is said to have ditched rapper O.T. Genasis after he bought her the diamond timepiece as a gift.
Unconfirmed reports from the US claim Malika decided to show O.T. the door after she "caught him cheating".
The couple were first romantically linked in November.
She has since deleted all pictures of O.T. from her social media accounts.

How long have Malika and Khloe been friends?
The girls have known each other since they were 15.
In fact, Khloe is really good pals with Malika's twin sister Khadijah too.
They met when Malika was dating one of Khloe's male friends... and the rest is history.
She explained on her : "Malika was dating one of my male best friends. He would always keep us apart because I am sure he knew we would just hit it off. One day we met and we did. Malika and Khadijah have been my best friends ever since."
Awkwardly, Malika had a crush on Khloe's brother Rob and were often seen flirting on camera during the reality show- she even modelled for his sock line Arthur George.
They never got together and Malika has since said Rob's "friendship is special."
