Season 2
After a bumper first season, The Close Up is back with an all-new crop of famous faces ready to share their secrets on e.tv and the eNews Channel.
Among the celebrities featured in the new season are Freshlyground front-woman Zolani Mahola, actress and beauty ambassador Terry Pheto, television presenter Jeannie D, former Miss Universe Michelle Mclean, Idols Judge Unathi Msengana (nee Nkayi) and model turned socialite Gina Athans.
While beautiful women dominate the line-up this year – the celebrities representing the men are no less enthralling. They include actor Tony Kgoroge, SAMA award winning rapper and producer Amu and funnyman Leon Schuster.
In each episode of The Close Up one local celebrity tells their life story in their own words. The stories are compiled from hours of interview footage and coupled with never-before-seen archive material and images of each celebrity before, during and after their rise to fame.
The series is written, directed and narrated by Nicky Greenwall and produced by Greenwall and Tinet Crous. Greenwall is also the executive producer.
