But unfortunately, her journey came to an end on Tuesday night (19th March), as a shock eviction was announced.
It was revealed on Monday evening that Zeze Millz, Fern Britton and Marisha would be the next housemates to face the public vote. Nikita Kuzmin then joined the trio after volunteering to take the killer nomination on Sunday night.
Earlier in March, it was revealed that Marisha has been nominated for an Olivier Award.
Big Brother producers then decided to share the exciting news with Marisha about her Olivier nod for her role in Guys and Dolls.
Ahead of her appearance on the show, Wallace wanted people to get to know the real her. "I hope to let the world find out more about me as a person and not just the roles that I play," she said.
"I'm excited to represent the theatre community on this huge platform. I want to tell my stories and inspire people who come from small towns who don’t have a lot but who dream big, and hopefully I can inspire them to dream bigger."
