MAKOSI'S obsession with a particular flavoured fizzy drink has prompted one UK supermarket chain to come to her aid.

Kwik Save decided to send the Housemate 30 bottles of its own brand two-litre Cherryade to the Big Brother House in Elstree, Hertfordshire, this week.

A spokesman for Kwik Save says: "When we learnt of Makosi's obsession/passion for cherryade, we decided to act "Kwik" and come to her aid by sending 30 bottles of Kwik Save own Cherryade to the Big Brother House. And if she can't have them while she's in the house, at least she'll get a warm "cherryade" welcome when she finally leaves."

Viewers of the reality TV show came to know of Makosi's addiction to Cherryade during the first week in the house when she caused a scene when she couldn't have any. Her sister Veronica revealed the reason the cardiac nurse loves the drink so much is because it reminds her of a similar drink back home in her native country of Zimbabwe.

Makosi loves cherryade so much that she always makes sure it's one of her luxury items on the weekly shopping list.
