Archival footage of Mara’s supreme professionalism, circa 2008.

Mara Louw admitted yesterday in an interview on Talk Radio 702 that she was as soaked as a medieval torch during filming for the latest episode of Idols.

This is only news in the sense that it is now verifiable fact, and not public knowledge alone.

Meanwhile, Gareth Cliff came out strongly against Louw’s behaviour during the show. “Adults must take responsibility for their actions. She’s like Paula Abdul,” he tweeted.

So if she’s like Paula Abdul, then he must be…? Right? Right?

Incorrect, you are not South Africa’s Simon Cowell. Very clever angle, though, Gareth.

All things considered, Louw may have been drunk during that interview, so that admission should be taken with a pinch of salt. And a little lemon.
