Big Brother Mzansi season 3 contestants Gashwan, popularly known as “Gash1”, and Thato Mthombeni have had their supporters itching to see them back on the small screen.
The couple, who met during the Big Brother competition and married six months after making their relationship official, revealed they were offered the opportunity to do a reality TV show together but declined.
Beyond reality TV, Thato juggles her acting career, hosts on Metro FM with the Naked DJ on weekends and has a corporate job in the food industry.
Gash1 is a model and businessman.
In their recent YouTube video, Thato said while there might be interest in their lives, she wanted to protect her family and peace because she understood how her husband was affected by it.
“I don't want to do reality TV because I say no first as an individual. I don't want to do it because there's no reality TV I've watched where people have brought forth their romantic relations, siblings [or] whatever and come out better after that. There isn't a one. Those things destroy. I'm not even talking about the comments, the audience or the fans yet,” she said.
“I don't care how much money you are putting down. I am not going to put myself in a situation for something to break me down. That is not going to happen. Peace at all costs. I can lose millions. It is detrimental to everyone around you.”
Gash 1 said he preferred to lead a private life.
“There are things I need to refrain from saying because it will taint the brand itself. You always need to uphold a good image no matter how you are feeling.”
