Ayuk In collaboration with Silverbird productions.
Earlier,
reports had it that she crowned her sister but Isabella has long
debunked the rumour as she only shares the same surname with the winner
whom she first met at the audition exercise. According
to her" the stories making rounds that I crowned my sister is not true,
we are not related, just same surname. Its just like sharing same
surname with another person." The former MBGN Queen further buttressed
that the Cross River Most Beautiful Girl father bears Achu Ayuk and that
they are both from different villages. Prosper Ayuk is from is from
Bendeghe Village while while Isabella Ayuk is from Effraya Village
