You see them on TV, in shows and movies, you buy their music and any product they’re using – but do you really know the story behind your favourite celeb superstar? Probably not – and that’s where talkshow Behind The Story comes in. Now in season 5, the show has a new host as Nomalanga Shozi takes over from former host Pearl Thusi as she probes your favourite stars about their life away from the red carpet and to find out what makes them tick. “The most important thing that I’ve realised for myself (as a person in the public eye) is that my story is my story. And it matters too. And it’s also just as beautiful. And there is another person (watching at home) who has a similar story to mine, who looks at me and thinks, ‘If Noma can do it, so can I’, then I’m happy,” says Nomalanga.
