“The fact that we won for the third time in a row makes us extra proud,” said Van ‘t Hek. “It is a sign that the format is standing, also with our new presenter Bram Endedijk, who has clearly made his own contribution last year. This of course also applies to Gabriella Adèr, who has been behind the microphone for some time.”
