Johannesburg - Lexi Van Niekerk's got a new TV gig and, no, it's not a reality show. But her fans still love it!
Lexi, who rose to fame on TV reality-show Big Brother, went on to have another reality show with her bae, Mandla, (more on that here) but she seems to have left the world of reality TV for a more serious gig.
The former Big Brother contestant has a new TV job presenting the lifestyle show, The Weekend Hangout on DStv channel 265. (more on that here).
The show kicked off on Tuesday night (yes, we know Tuesday is not the weekend) and it got loads of love on social media - most of it for its lovely new presenter.
@van_lexi well done Ms Van..u rocked as usual :) @Weekend_Hangout was #LEXIFIED two thumbs up!
