What’s going on in the RTL jungle? After Cora Schumacher (47) capitulated shortly after moving out, Heinz Hoenig (72) is now completely unexpectedly out on day 12. “The medical team decided today to take him out of the camp as a precaution,” RTL announced via Instagram. His chance to take home the coveted jungle crown: wasted.
Lucy Diakovska (47) is still inside. And two former camp participants have a lot of confidence in the “No Angels” star. More precisely: victory. BUNTE.de meets Verena Kerth (42) and Marc Terenzi (45) on the red carpet of “Lambertz Night” in Cologne. The presenter moved to the Australian wilderness in 2023. Her fiancé was there in 2017 and even won the jungle crown back then. “Lucy has been a friend of ours for more than 20 years,” they explain. Shortly before she went into the bush, they gave her a tip: “Please enjoy this privilege of going into the jungle.” Let’s see if she continues to do that. There are still six days ahead of her. The decision will be made on Sunday.
Suddenly another ex-participant crashes the BUNTE.de interview. You can find out who in the video above.
Married for 21 years: “Jungle Camp” presenter Sonja Zietlow loves him
She has even more “jungle” experience than Verena and Marc: Sonja Zietlow. The 55-year-old has been there since the beginning, first hosting the reality show with Dirk Bach († 51), then with Daniel Hartwich (45). Jan Köppen (40) has been the man at her side since 2023. At least professionally. Because in her private life, Sonja has only been loyal to one person for over two decades – her Jens Oliver. The presenter has been married to the screenwriter and lyricist since 2002. The two share a very special bond, not just privately. They also work closely together professionally. But what many people don’t know: This is not Sonja Zietlow’s first marriage. Back in 1999, the talk show host at the time went to the altar and married André Hegger.
