Despite the show’s huge earnings, she felt underpaid and struggled with financial strain.
The COVID-19 pandemic worsened her situation, leaving her jobless and battling depression.
She turned to alcohol as a coping mechanism, a habit she now regrets, admitting it pushed her into a dark and difficult chapter.
Angela also delved into her love life, admitting to turning down several marriage proposals from different men, an aspect that surprised Mwakideu.
"So, this person came, went down on their knees and asked you to marry them, and you said no?" he asked.
"Two or three," she responded.
Mwakideu was curious to know why she rejected the marriage proposals.
Angela responded by explaining that the suitors had warped images of who she was, influenced by the show.
“Before you judge me... Are you marrying Angel Waruinge or are you marrying Miss Morgan? That’s a mistake.”
She further delved into the subject matter by saying,
“When you meet a partner who wants the power of your identity, then there’s a mistake. Until they get home and get Angel.”

In other news, Angela’s ex-castmate Ted Kitana, popularly known as Kilunda, left the acting scene to live a quieter life in Kangundo with his mother.
He had studied law but chose not to practise, later travelling to Norway to reflect on his future.
Upon returning, he joined Tahidi High and rose to fame, though he found the pay low and the role less challenging.
One morning, he abruptly decided not to return to the set and quit. Attempts at other roles were hindered by typecasting.
Away from the public eye, he embraced village life, engaging in poultry farming and growing vegetables for sale, preferring the peace and independence over the pressures of the entertainment industry.
