‘Utopia’ — Reality Show Contestant Booted … BEFORE Filming Begins

EXCLUSIVE

A rival on the new FOX reality show “Utopia” has already managed to get herself kicked off… BEFORE cameras start rolling.

Reps for the show — which is premiering on a livestream right now — say rival Andrea Cox did not enter the “Utopia” with the rest of the cast today … because she violated show rules.

Production sources tell us Cox somehow figured out a way to friend other contestants — known as “pioneers” on the show — during a period when they were all supposed to be sequestered from each additional.

The show features 15 “pioneers” who have to reboot their own the high classes from scratch on a private piece of land, and they have a full year to do it. The TV debut is Sept. 7 on FOX.

Cox can watch from home.
