It was set to be the TV comeback of the decade. An enormously loved franchise resurrected from the vault to save the embattled Seven Network from what’s been a disastrous year for them.
However, producers Endemol Shine could see all their hard work come undone after a particularly scandalous story to do with one of the housemates is threatening to surface.
Woman’s Day can exclusively reveal that Seven executives and the production company Endemol Shine have been racing around the clock to try and bury a story that’s threatening to overshadow the show, even going as far as to tell their current crop of contestants – some who know the truth – to keep shtum about anything they might have heard.
The story, which involves a housemate who has been advertised as a main personality in the series, could mar the family-friendly show so much that producers would be left with a PR nightmare on their hands. It would also leave host Sonia Kruger reeling.
