Quote: "I am so proud to be a part of the show, it's so much more than just a dating show which is something I realised whilst actually being on it. Younger me would have found navigating my sexuality so much easier if I had a show like IKAB to watch."
BBC biog: When it comes to dating, Callum's either all in, or all out. Callum admits he can be jealous and doesn't think his man should be giving any other guy attention. He doesn't like to follow the rules and is quick-witted with his comebacks. Callum describes himself as, 'chaotic, cheeky and strong minded.'
In recent years, Callum has gained a greater sense of his cultural identity after moving from his hometown to London, where the Nigerian side of his family live.
Callum is a sucker for a pretty boy with a little edge and his celebrity crushes are Joey Essex, Drake and Jack Harlow.
