Ex On The Beach in chaos as filming in Colombia is delayed by FOUR months
FILMING for the next series of Ex On The Beach has been plunged into chaos after bosses were forced to push back the show until this summer.
Insiders told The Sun there were now question marks over whether some of the stars who’d already signed up to take part, including Jack Fincham and Georgia Steel, would be able to make the new dates.
The show, which is being filmed in Colombia, was due to start production later this month
However Covid-19 travel restrictions mean the show has been put back until June.
An insider explained: “Ex On The Beach has been pushed back from February until June because of the pandemic.
“It’s one of MTV’s most popular shows and they are determined it can go ahead.
“But this scheduling change has caused a headache for the bookers, who’ve been hard at work securing celebs for the show.
“Jack Fincham and Georgia Steel have signed up to take part, along with their exes, but now it’s all up in the air as they may not be able to make the new dates.
“Those working on the show have a raft of talent they still want to tap up however so they do have a back up plan should people have to drop out.
“Getting a show of this magnitude off the ground isn’t going to be easy but the team behind Ex On The Beach think they can make it work.”
The Sun exclusively revealed how the hit MTV series was going to be filming in South America earlier this year.
