Tonight at 19:30 on Pasella in the longrunning entertainment magazine show's annual end-of-year swimwear issue on SABC2, viewers will see presenter Paul Rothmann do the scariest thing he's ever done: strip down to just a white speedo and walk out of the waves.

The luscious beach babes Roxy Louw and Candice Boucher also play bikini models in the Pasella insert this evening, together with the other male Pasella presenters Irshaad Ally and Dieter Voigt modelling the latest in trendy and fashionable swimwear.

The Pasella insert of this evening was filmed at Hoogwaterhuis in Hangklip.

The longrunning weekly Afrikaans show on SABC2 recently turned 15 and I was invited and attended a special five star Pasella evening at a wine farm in Somerset West.

It was here, when asked about what his "most dangerous and scariest experience ever has been on the show", that Paul Rothmann - previously voted the sexiest guy in South Africa - said that putting on a white speedo and getting wet in the water for the upcoming swimwear insert was by far the scariest thing he's ever had to do.

The action man presenter who's been with the Tswelopele Productions show for years has done everything from rapelling down mountains and bungee jumping, but says he's never been as scared in his entire life as for tonight's episode in which viewers will see a lot of Paul Rothmann.

"And the water was very cold," he says of the icy ocean he had to endure.

Paul in his white speedo jumps into the water to walk out on the beach mimicking Daniel Craig in a "Bond moment" aka Casino Royale in which the spy strutted his stuff in tight blue swimming trunks.
