Daniel Hartwich was a constant at the jungle camp. He is no longer there in the current season – instead, Jan Köppen is now standing next to jungle icon Sonja Zietlow. Hartwich spoke very openly about the reasons for this.

Year after year, the stars and “stars” come together in the jungle camp. Even die-hard fans find it difficult to list all participants or at least to remember the winners. The situation is different for the moderators: there has been consistency for years: Sonja Zietlow has been leading through the jungle since the first season, Daniel Hartwich replaced Dirk Bach († 51), who died young, nine years ago.

But with the new season there is also movement in the moderator team: RTL great Daniel Hartwich is no longer there, instead being replaced by Jan Köppen. But why don’t jungle fans see the popular moderator with the flashy shirts on TV anymore? Was RTL no longer satisfied with his performance or was he no longer interested in the format?

Daniel Hartwich: Why is he missing from the jungle camp?

The reason is actually different: the annual trips into the jungle to Australia cost not only the participants, but also the moderators and crew a lot of time and energy – energy that is then missing for the family. Daniel Hartwich also noticed that and therefore decided last year that “I’m a Star” is the end for him. At the time, he justified his end to the format with the words: “The reason for this is my family, who can no longer accompany me in the future because of compulsory schooling.”

Working with the “talented television producers” was “a pleasure and an honor” for him. Hartwich also wants to continue watching the show – but as a viewer comfortably at home on the couch. He is currently working for RTL as a moderator for the quiz show “Ohne Limit”, in which the participants can theoretically win an infinite amount of money.
