When legendary singer Tina Turner died last year, some Kiwis mistakenly thought Tina from Turners, the fictional TV salesperson who really loves cars, had headed to the great car-yard in the sky. But Tina from Turners, aka actress Sieni Leo'o Olo, is very much alive and she's busy! The 27-year-old, nicknamed Bubbah as a child, is bringing her comedic magic to the small screen with a second series of bite-sized show I Got You.
The seven-minute episodes - designed to be watched on Instagram, TikTok and RNZ's youth platform Tahi-feature Bubbah as Mac, a hapless 20-something who starts a side hustle as a matchmaker and relationship advisor.
"Mac's family is having financial issues, so she decides to create a business giving dating advice to the Pasifika community, despite not having any relationship experience herself," laughs Bubbah.
"Mac sets herself up in the family's garage and thinks she's helping others with advice on what to do on a first date, inventing an imaginary girlfriend to get parents off a client's back and writing a song to help woo a boyfriend. Of course, it all goes horribly wrong!" Not only does Bubbah appear in both seasons, but she also helped write them, along with director Stallone Vaiaogo-Ioasa.
