South African Paralympic champion Oscar Pistorius is set to appear on a famous magic show, despite being charged with the murder of his girlfriend.
Pistorius, who has admitted shooting Reeva Steenkamp, will appear on magician Dynamo's telly show, and will be seen taking part in a magic stunt.
The British conjurer is on a tour around South Africa for the new series of Magician Impossible.
According to the Sun, Oscar, who is known as the Blade Runner, filmed the appearance last November, three months before the shocking Valentine's Day incident.
Sources said that bosses at telly channel Watch had considered cutting the stunt, but have decided to go ahead with it barring any new developments in the criminal case.
Details of his appearance on Magician Impossible have not been disclosed, although it is believed they are due to air in the third episode of the series on July 25, the report added.
