She lived in Lagos until she was about 13 years old before moving to the UK. Speaking in an interview, she revealed that she attended schools in both Nigeria and England.<\/p>\n<p>In Lagos, she went to St. Saviour&#8217;s Scholl and Grange School. Back in the United Kingdom, Eku attended a boarding school at the Benenden School for Girls &#8211; the same school that English actors such as Imogen Boorman, Georgina Cookson, Ellie Kendrick, and Rachel Weisz attended.<\/p>\n<p>To further her studies, the actress attended Warwick University in Coventry where she studied English Literature and Theater Studies.

Her father worked in the food and beverage supply as well as logistics industries and has kept his life away from the media, but supports his daughter and sometimes attends her functions.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, the actress&#8217; mother, Juliana, is an interior designer, fashion enthusiast, restaurateur, and art collector who hails from the Delta State in the south-south geopolitical zone in Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>At a young age, her parents divorced and both of them settled to be married to other partners. Her stepfather was a Lagosian businessman, Peter Thomas, who died in 2010, thereby contributing to why Eku relocated to Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>With respect to her siblings, Eku&#8217;s twin is named Kessiana Thorley Odunsi. She is an interior designer, and fashion and marketing consultant. Kessiana got married to a Nigerian businessman named Jide Odunsi in 2020. The couple share a child at the time of this writing.<\/p>\n<p>Eku&#8217;s other siblings are her oldest sibling, a brother named Giles. Her sister is Roberta &#8220;Bertie&#8221; Elizabeth Jesson who also keeps her life private but is a yoga teacher. The entertainer shares a close relationship with her siblings even though she reveals that she does not get to spend much time with them since they live out of Lagos.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Eku Edewor Started Her Career When She Joined Britain&#8217;s Next Top Model<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In 2006 while she was undergoing her tertiary education, Eku joined the contestants of season 2 of Britain&#8217;s Next Top Model as Georgina Edewor-Thorley. However, she was evicted along the line and had to return to school to write her exams.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the mark she made on the reality TV show, the actress did not take professional modeling as a career in her later life. <a href=\"https:\/\/thenet.ng\/53-xtras-eku-edewor-opens-up-to-net-im-in-love-with-a-confident-independent-and-supportive-nigerian-man\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">She revealed that<\/a> although fashion and modeling have been a part of her since she was growing up, she later realized that it was not as dynamic and dramatic as she envisioned. Hence, she had a rethink.<\/p>\n<p>This has rather not stopped her from being stylish. In fact,\u00a0 she is considered one of the most fashionable presenters in Nigeria.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>She Also Worked at a Restuarant Before She Became a Presenter<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Edewor moved to Nigeria from the UK in 2010 after the death of her stepfather, Peter.\u00a0A few months later, she attended an open audition for co-presenter on 53 Extra which was previously known as Studio 53 Extra. The show airs on M-NET on DSTV&#8217;s Africa Magic. It focuses on topics ranging from music, fashion, music, celebrities, and red-carpet events from different parts of Africa.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to that, Eku did not have plans to venture into TV presenting. Yet, this career became her stepping stone into the diversified and competitive Nigerian entertainment industry.<\/p>\n<p>Working on the 53 Extra show, she has interviewed entertainers such as Nigerian descent American rapper Wale, <a href=\"https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/world-famous-celebrities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chiwetel Ejiofor<\/a>, and Nigerian singer <a href=\"https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/banky-w\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Banky W<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>She Has Hosted Several Shows in Africa<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The British Nigerian entertainer has landed several roles as a host on notable shows within and outside of Nigeria. She has hosted shows such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>53 Extra <\/em>(from 2010)<\/li>\n<li><em>Big Brother Africa Live Red Carpet Show<\/em> (2010)<\/li>\n<li><em>Pepsi Top Ten Music Countdown <\/em>(from 2012)<\/li>\n<li><em>Channel O Africa Music Video Awards (2014)<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For her role as a presenter, the London-born actress was nominated for TV Presenter of the Year (Pepsi Top Ten Live Show, Africa Magic) by ELOY Awards (2014).<\/p>\n<h3><strong>She Started Her Acting Career in the UK<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Eku started acting in the UK and continued in the United States before she returned to Nigeria and started another phase of her acting career. While in the UK and the US, she appeared in theater productions.<\/p>\n<p>Subsequently, she got a job as a production assistant to British Independent film producer Damian Jones. This led to her working with DJ Films Ltd. from 2008 to 2009.<\/p>\n<p>In 2010, she made an appearance in<em> Sex &amp; Drugs &amp; Rock &amp; Roll<\/em>. The film is a biography of English musician Ian Dury and it features actors such as Andy Serkis, Naomie Harris, Ray Winstone, and Olivia Williams.<\/p>\n<p>Eku&#8217;s role in the film was that of a Party Girl.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How Eku Edewor Rose to Fame in the Nigerian Movie Industry as an Actress and Producer<\/strong><\/h3>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CUSJGiTltJC\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
