CT action man revealed as host of Survivor SA

The best-kept secret in South African TV is out: Mark Bayly, a little-known Capetonian with a dashing smile and a penchant for adventure, has clinched the coveted presenter slot on Survivor South Africa: Panama, which kicks off on Sunday, 3 September 2006, in M-Net's Open Time. Carl Fischer, head of M-Net's Original Productions, says, "Our mission was to look for someone without any strong association with an existing television programme, possibly a new face that would fit into the Survivor programme's profile. We were thrilled when Mark turned up to audition."
