This comes after it was revealed that ITV executives have reportedly increased security measures this time around.

Following security breaches this year, The Ludus Magnus villa will be fortified with high-voltage gates.

The massive £1.2million pad will also be manned by trained guards who will patrol all perimeters.

According to a source, there is a phone line linked to the local police station and private armed response.

“If any threat is larger than expected, the heavy cavalry would be on their way in seconds”. an insider said.

Due to an increase in organized crime targeting wealthy visitors in South Africa, all production crew arriving and departing will be escorted by armed guards.
