I can reveal that the contestants of e.tv's Popstars are currently secretly secloistered at the ultra lux Fairmont Zimbali Lodge at Kwa-Zulu/Natal's exotic Dolphin Coast.
The contestants are currently being put through their paces while they reside at the beautiful five star boutique hotel with a magnificent view over the Indian ocean. Suites for the well heeled who lounge next to tranquil infinity pools can cost more than R7 000 and the Popstars contestants are getting full-on exposure to the luxury life.So strict is security at the estate that - according to sources - even e.tv staff have had difficulty getting access to the production at the Fairmont Zimbali Lodge once they left and then wanted to return. With several camera crews following the contestants everywhere as they are practising, they have little time to enjoy their stay in the lap of luxury where international visitors are vacationing and even an unrelated modeling photo shoot took place today. ''It's really wonderful to be filming here,'' a member of the Popstars production crew told me.
''All the Popstars contestants are working incredibly hard. They all want to be here. They know what's at stake,'' another on-set source told me.
