Why an almost naked Janez Vermeiren of Top Travel ran through the streets of Stockholm in just underwear.


Janez Vermeiren, presenter of the second season of Top Travel currently on SABC3, ran through the streets of Stockholm in Sweden in just underwear, showing that the producers of Tswelopele Productions are definitely not beyond making their presenters go near-naked if it's going to help goose the ratings.

Visiting Stockholm for an episode of the second season of Top Travel, Janez Vermeiren who is also a Top Billing presenter produced by the same production company, paid the Bjorn Borg underwear store in the heart of the Swedish city a visit.

He decided to take to the streets of Stockholm in his tighties and green Bjorn Borg socks, as a play on a Swedish underwear TV commercial in which models do the same.


"Mine was a different take on their campaign," said Janez Vermeiren. "You've always got to be an individual. People were actually quite cool with it. I had a couple of glances. A couple of old ladies: 'What is he doing?' but most people were just: 'Ah there's a guy running around in his boxer shorts. Whatever. Cool."

"If you had to do that Cape Town ... a different story."
