Hotshots will not launch this Sunday (7 September) as scheduled.
The Big Brother Africa house in Johannesburg, South Africa, was today gutted by fire.
According to a statement by M-Net and Endemol, as well as tweets monitored on the Big Brother Africa twitter handle, the “devastating fire” has necessitated a need to postpone the September 7, 2014 launch of the Big Brother Hotshots.
It said, “The cause of the fire, at this stage, is unknown and investigations will commence as soon as it is safe to do so.
“At this stage M-Net and Endemol are urgently looking for an alternative Big Brother house in which to film the production, however as this production has highly technical infrastructure, camera and edit requirements an alternative is not immediately available. Every effort will be made to find a solution as quickly as possible to ensure that Africa’s biggest reality show will continue.”
No life was lost as a result of the fire, and no one was injured. The BBA house is located at the Sasani Studios in Johannesburg, South Africa.
