In the show “New Stars in Africa”, the participants have to deal with their fears. In the last episode of the program, Maria Kravchenko was the hardest. She went to the coin test along with Timofey Zaitsev, Dmitry Kozhoma and Zoya Berber.

The stars had to dive into fish tanks and manually guide coins through a maze. Maria tried to complete the task, she dived under the water, but she did not succeed. The actress started shaking, sobbing and refused to try again. At the same time, the participant was not afraid of snakes, frogs and crocodiles swimming around. Later, Kravchenko said that she was afraid of water because she almost drowned in a mountain river as a child.

This was the second time Maria had failed the team and Timothy had to do the task for her. Previously, the star of the series “Polar” fainted during the test. The actress started criticizing on the web. “Kravchenko can only cook? Didn’t she know the project had to be tested? fans of the show were outraged.

Maria was defended by her friend and former partner in Comedy Woman, Natalia Medvedeva. “Listen, Mashulya is really very brave and strong. You saw her pick up the snake, kiss it and throw it away. She is really ready for anything! But it was with her that a cruel joke happened. The first time the body just shut down and passed out. She didn’t do it on purpose! She didn’t refuse! And the second time – with immersion… Here is a case from childhood. Well, yes! That matched! It’s a fear of water. And a panic attack is a serious thing, you can’t imagine it, “said the comedian.

Natalia also talked about the behind the scenes of the show. According to her, fruit trees grew on the territory of the camp, but the stars were forbidden to collect and eat the fruit. In the evenings, the participants played various games, joked and laughed a lot. Tornike Kvitatiani once played a prank on Ivan Pyšnenko by putting a note in his things with the task of dancing for an hour without music. The comedian believed it was a real test and completed it. During the voting, the participant asked the presenters for an award and only then was told that it was a joke.

Medvedeva also assured that there is no script in the show and all that happens are the real emotions of the participants.

In the last issue, Dmitry Kozhoma left the project. The comedian shed tears as he said goodbye to the camp residents.
