After rampant speculation from viewers about the identity of the host of M-Net's Survivor: South Africa, TVSA can confirm that it is definitely
not former
Idols and
Fear Factor SA host
Colin Moss.
TVSA contacted Moss's agent, Ronnie Whitaker, to put an end to the speculation, and was told in no uncertain terms that it is not Colin.
"No chance - he would have loved to host Survivor and I do think he would be perfect for it," said Whitaker. "But apparently his face is too branded.
"That's the problem with presenting a show like Idols - in this small industry, he is now the face of Idols!
"Survivor wanted a 'fresh' face and apparently they have chosen one and have offered the job. I think haggling is underway, but it's not with Colin."
The identities of the host and the cast of the highly-anticipated show remain a closely-guarded secret. Filming of the show is currently underway in Panama.
Survivor: South Africa will premiere on M-Net at 18h00 on 3 September.
