Her colleague Somizi Mhlongo, however, was not having it. During a recording of the show, Somizi left the room when the snake was brought in. He was quite frank about his anxiety around the slimy creature.

His photophobia even went to the extreme of selling a house he lived in because there was a snake found in the swimming pool.

“I have a huge phobia of snakes. I can’t even look at it in a picture, never mind on TV. So, you can imagine. I used to live somewhere and I was told that they found a snake in a pool. I literally sold the house,” he said.
