It’s official! The Darling Factor has doubled its charm.
As the 2025 season of Think Media and Adom TV’s collaborative talent competition roars to life, fans can enjoy a sweetly refreshing twist: celebrated actress and TV darling Nikki Samonas is now joined by the unmistakable voice and face of Adom FM and Adom TV, Eric Asiedu Boadi, as co-host of this year’s show.
Together, the duo is poised to breathe new energy into Sunday night television, so grab that chilled bottle of Darling Lemon and some popcorn, if you will, sit back, and enjoy the thrill.
A blend of elegance and everyday charisma
Nikki Samonas is no stranger to commanding the spotlight. With her magnetic screen presence and effortless style, she’s long been a staple in Ghana’s entertainment scene.
This season, she returns with her signature flair, but this time, she’s got company.
Eric Asiedu Boadi, affectionately known on air as “Kegyiwa Nankasa,” has evolved from his early days as a pupil teacher in Nkawkaw to becoming a household name in broadcasting. His story is the stuff of true Ghanaian inspiration.
A product of reality radio himself, Eric beat over 500 contestants to win the second edition of Adom FM’s Adom Star reality competition in 2010, a breakout moment that launched his journey with the Multimedia Group.
The accolades have only grown since then: Deputy Head of Sports at Multimedia, lead host of the Ultimate Sports Show and Sports Arena, and one of the first-ever Twi commentators for FIFA World Cup and English Premier League coverage on DStv.
His deep, expressive voice has made him one of Ghana’s most sought-after voice-over artists, with a fanbase that spans TikTok, Facebook, and Ghana’s airwaves.
His presence on The Darling Factor adds a warm, relatable, “dreams-come-true” magic that resonates deeply with contestants and Ghana’s mass audience.
Their chemistry? Unmistakable. Where Nikki glides, Eric grounds. Where she dazzles, he disarms. And where she brings the sparkle, he brings the soul.
A new era for the Darling Factor
By pairing these two distinct personalities, Adom TV signals a bolder, more inclusive direction for the show.
It’s not just about discovering raw talent anymore; it’s about telling stories, stirring conversations, and building deeper connections with viewers across Ghana and beyond.
Nikki and Eric reflect two sides of the same coin: urban elegance meets grassroots energy. This balance is exactly what The Darling Factor needs as it evolves from a talent competition into a true cultural moment.
Sunday nights just got more interesting
Whether you’re tuning in to cheer on your favourite contestant or simply vibing with the hosts’ banter, one thing is clear: The Darling Factor has never felt more alive. With Nikki and Eric at the helm, each episode promises not just competition, but conversation, surprise, and soul.
This season, we don’t just watch talent rise; we will feel it.
The Darling Factor airs every Sunday at 8:30 PM on Adom TV. Join the conversation online with #TheDarlingFactor and follow Adom TV on all platforms, especially WhatsApp, for exclusive behind-the-scenes content.
