Adebayo appeared on series two alongside TikTok star Milli Jo McLoughlin, podcaster Mandi Vakili and rapper DDG, as well as former Manchester United and France footballer Patrice Evra.

We recently found this really cool Yemeni restaurant in Westwood called House of Mandi.

Mandi later caught Covid herself – she is convinced at work – and ended up in hospital on oxygen for three weeks.

Recognising the untapped potential of indigenous textiles fading from memory -especially with the rise of "ankara" wax prints, a European import that has come to symbolise African design - Mandi set out to revive these cultural elements.

"People have told me, 'Oh, your work is not African,' because they want to see ankara prints. It's been so impressed in the minds," Mandi told me.
