Dowling shares a series of videos via his Instagram Stories. “Tomorrow and Sunday I will be recording the reunion show from home,” he said. “I’m turning my living room into the set.”
“Obviously, I’m normally in the same room as the ladies for the reunion show, they are doing it from their homes in the UK and I’m doing it from here,” he continued. “Modern technology is phenomenal.”
He added, “The equipment has arrived,” he says while his husband is setting up the equipment. “Because of government guidelines and everything going on, we have to set it all up ourselves.”
Dowling also took to Instagram to share a post about setting up for the virtual reunion for Season 11.
“I’m fine, I’m fine, EVERY-THINGS FINE😂 Here I am surrounded with all of the equipment I need to record the Reunion Show for @officialrhoch all from home. I’m beginning to panic a-bit but thankfully @gourounlian seems to be in control of this one,” he wrote. “Back in the Big Brother House in 2001, there wasn’t any training on putting camera & lighting equipment together just how to perform in front of them. Please ignore the male camel toe I have going on .🐪 😂 #rhocheshire #lockdown #letsgo”
The new season premiered on Monday, April 20, but originally it was set to debut in March, but the series was pushed back due to the global pandemic.
Season 11 consists of Dawn Ward, Ester Dee, Hanna Kinsella, Lauren Simon, Nicole Sealey, Rachel Lugo, Seema Malhotra, and Tanya Bardsley. Christine McGuiness appears this season as the "guest" of the series.
