Comedian and television host Pavel Volya opened up on his wife Laysan Utyasheva’s Telegram channel, sharing a recent collaboration with a gymnast. The anecdote highlights a professional pairing that blends sport and entertainment, drawing attention to the couple’s familiarity with each other both on and off camera. Volya described the collaboration as fantastic, and he emphasized that their chemistry translates beyond the spotlight. They enjoy getting ready together, savoring the moment, and keeping things light even as work intensifies. The sense of ease in their partnership is apparent in the way they approach each day with shared enthusiasm and mutual support.
Earlier reports revealed that Pavel Volya and Laysan Utyasheva serve as the hosts for the Survive reality show, filmed in Dubai. The format will feature two teams: established stars from the Russian entertainment industry and a group of participants who have never traveled abroad. The contestants will compete on equal footing across a variety of challenges, with the outcomes of these missions influencing the living conditions assigned to the cast as the program unfolds. The premiere date for the series has not been announced.
Production kicked off in the Rub al Khali desert in March. Utyasheva recalled the breathtaking visuals as the desert shimmered under the sun, with the wind sketching fleeting patterns across the red dunes. She noted that the desert’s sands retain a salty tang from when the area was once coastal, an observation she confirmed after joining the crew physically on set for the shoot. The moment captured a sense of vastness and immediacy that the production aims to convey to viewers.
