"Telma" will be leaving the small screen to try her hand at the movies. Damilola Adegbite, who before now, played Telema, on M-Net’s soap opera, Tinsel, has confirmed that she is leaving the show.

“Damilola is sad to be saying goodbye to the show and would deeply miss everyone,” a statement from her agent, Cartwheel & Pandora PR said, “The last four years spent on the show has been a very beautiful and fulfilling experience for her; Damilola over the course of four years has built not only a good work relationship, but great friendship and regards the entire cast and crew as family.

“She is however very excited about the next phase of her career, as she is currently on a movie set with AMAA award winning film maker, Michelle Bello, where Damilola will be playing a lead role in the upcoming movie.”
