Kiwi twins' or deal THROWN TO THE SHARKS... NAKED!

Being stranded naked on a deserted island in the Bermuda Triangle and competing for food with hungry sharks might sound like a nightmare to most, but for Kiwi twins Amber and Serena Shine, it was just another day at the office. Well, kinda.

The 30-year-old sisters – from Waiuku, in rural Auckland – had already appeared on Discovery Channel series Naked And Afraid in 2019, living off scorpions, and being stalked by leopards and hyenas while spending 21 days without clothing in remote northern South Africa.

So when, in early 2020, the network asked them to return to the show, living on a tropical island for two weeks for a Shark Week special, they couldn’t resist saying yes again.

“We’re actually pretty conservative, so the idea of being naked on TV didn’t appeal to us at all when we were first approached,” admits Serena, who is the owner-operator of Glam Camping at Castaways Resort.

“We actually thought it was a scam and ignored the messages at first,” laughs civil engineer Amber.

But when the adventurous pair – who call themselves “The Wild Twins” on social media – finally decided to look into the series, they realised its popularity in the US and eventually their minds started to change.

“After watching a few episodes, we saw how much of a survival aspect the naked part of it is,” explains Amber. “It just makes everything that much harder.”
