REALITY TV starlet Malika Haqq told her fellow housemates the reason she’s appearing in Celebrity Big Brother is to get away from Khloe Kardashian.
She’s been best pals with Khloe since they were 15, and she often appears in Khloe’s family’s flagship show Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
But in a late night chat with fellow CBB inmates Amanda Barrie and Jess Impiazzi, Malika, 34, told them it was time she broke out on her own.
“What do you do, sorry? Because I don’t know you,” said Amanda, as the three women hung out together in the bedroom.
“I’m a TV personality,” answered Malika, sweetly.
“Which one is it?” persisted Amanda, determined to get a handle on what exactly Malika’s famous for.
“Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” answered Malika.
“Why have you come in here?” continued Coronation Street’s Amanda.
“It’s been very difficult for me to break outside of working with my sister [her twin – Khadijah] and my best friend, so it’s one of the most aggressive challenges for me, stepping outside of myself,” explained Malika.
“I’m officially here alone.”

Malika’s words could come as a blow to the Big bosses who booked Malika precisely because of her connections to the Kardashians.
“Show bosses have paid a huge amount of money to get her and they hope she will be able to give an amazing insight into life with the Kardashians,” a source told The Sun Online.
“On top of that she’s a really interesting person and she is going to make great TV.
“She’s got a real chance of winning the show.”
