Celebrity couple Gbenro and Osas Ajibade made a surprise appearance on BET Top Actor Africa Wednesday as they flew in from Nigeria to South Africa to be guest judges.

The acting couple, who got married some months ago, were judges in an episode of the reality show which featured two of the most tasking challenges so far on this season’s show.

In one of the tasks, contestants were thrown head first into the rural village setting of some of South Africa’s biggest indigenous ethnic groups. They then had the unenviable task of performing iconic Shakespeare monologues to a distracted and often disinterested poolside audience.

After the tasks, Lorraine Gakuo from Kenya became the latest contestant to be shown the door as the competition for the prize of Top Actor Africa hots up.

 Lorraine was the fourth contestant to be evicted from the house after Osas, Gbenro and the other judges made their decision following the challenges.

 BET Top Actor Africa Season 2 Episode two airs every Tuesday on BET.
