Kapuso actress Charlie Fleming took to social media to express her gratitude after concluding her journey in Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition.

On Instagram, Charlie reflected on how becoming a housemate in the recent celebrity edition opened new doors and opportunities for her.

“Sandali lang! I did not expect any of these blessings !” Charlie wrote. “Even a yapper like me can’t find the words to express my gratitude or to even describe my experience, but I can definitely say it was one of a kind !”

Charlie shared that her showbiz career began when she was 13 years old, recalling, “My opened door! I was 13, and was finally discovered as a content creator around late 2021.”

She went on to thank her manager and management team for giving her the opportunity.

Although she is a Kapuso artist, Charlie admitted she once dreamed of joining the hit Kapamilya reality show. That dream seemed impossible until the historic collaboration between ABS-CBN and GMA happened, allowing her to become one of the chosen housemates for the show's 20th edition.

“My PBB Door was locked, but a window opened. If that’s how I could describe it. Knowing that PBB was only available to ABS CBN, my PBB dreams were placed at the back of my head, no hope, thats what I thought,” she shared.  “UNTIL the mind-boggling announcement shock the Philippines and my world : The first ever GMA and ABS-CBN PBB Celebrity Collab Edition.”

“My hope was back! I had no idea how I would get it, but my prayers were flying to the heavens, just hoping for one chance, and guess who got that last minute audition? I did ! Thank you God!” she expressed.
