A young man recently lost a job opportunity after it emerged that he had been thirsting over her possible employee, former Citizen TV news anchor TerryAnne Chebet.

The young man had contacted the media personality through her Instagram direct message (DM) and asked for a job.

Chebet asked him to send his CV shortly beflre he was contacted and booked for an interview.

"Hello Terryanne. I loved your conversation with Benard Ndong on Instagram Live. I'm an IT diploma graduate, digital manager and content creator and I would love to work for you. I don't mind starting as an intern," the young man wrote.

However, everything went south when Chebet was conducting a background check on the young man when she stumbled upon suggestive messages.

"I'm all about shooting your shot, but not when you're actively job hunting. Got an inbox, good candidate, mailed him to book an interview, only to scroll up on IG to see messages he'd been sending me, which I hadn't seen," wrote Chebet.

According to screenshots shared by the media personality, the man pouted his heart out professing his love for Chebet.

"I'm honestly in love with you", "Hun", "Dear", "Kissable lips" were some of the words that he used to express himself.

"I like you Terryanne but talk of snobbing someone, you have mastered it. Happy Birthday my crush. Nakupenda hata kama ulilenga my DMs," read other messages.

As a result, Chebet withdrew her interest in the young man as a suitable candidate for the job.

"He totally qualified for the position, I was looking forward to the interview, but I can't hire him based on the sentiments shared," she said.
