Production for the new series of the reality TV show was already underway when a fire broke out in the region where filming was to take place.<\/p>\n
As reported by The Sun, the shoot was called off for safety reasons, with the cast of the new series, as well as host Maya Jama, kept away from the location in Franschhoek, South Africa.<\/p>\n
A source told the publication: \u201cA fire broke out close to the villa and it was deemed to dangerous to have Maya, the cast and all of the production crew working there in case it suddenly moved closer to the villa.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey have now cancelled filming today and are hoping to resume tomorrow,\u201d they continued. \u201cITV will always put the welfare of the cast and crew above the show.\u201d<\/p>\n
The source added that the development was a \u201chuge headache\u201d ahead of the show\u2019s planned launch date on Monday (12 January).<\/p>\n
\u201cThis will make everything a far closer call when it comes to getting enough footage in the can for Monday night\u2019s launch show,\u201d the source said.<\/p>\n
\u201cNaturally, if the fire is still posing a risk the show will be pushed back again. It\u2019s a very nervous wait over in South Africa.\u201d<\/p>\n
