The six youngsters who will form the new music group on the
second season of SABC2's reality show
Famous! have been revealed.
The
first season (which aired in 2006) featured an all-girl group of five. This year there are six of them, and two of those six are boys.
Somewhat disappointingly all the contestants are from Gauteng - last year two were from Jozi, one from Port Elizabeth and two from Durban.
The age difference is also more marked this year - the youngest is 11 and the oldest 16, whereas last year the girls ranged from 13-15.
These six teenagers will start their careers in the music industry, and by the end of Famous!, the group will have recorded an album. They will be taught all about the music industry along the way, including its history and music theory.
These are the Famous! Six:
