Popular comedian Helen Paul has revealed how she almost lost a gig many years ago due to her brown teeth.

On the Honest Bunch podcast, Helen Paul explained how she lost many jobs at the beginning of her career due to her brown teeth. She encountered many setbacks until she met renowned media entrepreneur and politician Dayo Adeneye aka D1. She recounted how he called her one day informing her that he had a N15M gig for her. She was the best one for the job but they said her look didn't match the concept.

She confirmed that her dentition affected her career at some point and she got used to taking background jobs. In a turn of events, Dayo Adeneye recommended a qualified dentist for her and she went there. She couldn't afford the teeth whitening procedure and to her amazement, Dayo Adeneye paid the bill.

After that, her first appearance was on the Peak Talent Show. She made plans to return the money Dayo Adeneye paid for her treatment but he didn't accept it.
