Tina Nijkamp does not understand that her colleague Mark Koster has difficulty with weather forecaster Amara Onwuka. According to the TV authority, Helga van Leur is really terrible. “Always found it.”
Two weather women came under a lot of fire during last week’s winter weather: Amara Onwuka irritated Mark Koster and Helga van Leur was spanked by Victor Vlam. And poor Helga now also has TV authority Tina Nijkamp pouring over her. She thinks the meteorologist from Schoonhoven is really terrible.
Terrible Helga
Mark and Tina have a podcast together, The Media Weekand in it the Telegraaf columnists first start about Amara. “I think she droned on for far too long in Beau’s studio. You also heard Beau sighing. That went on for far too long,” he says.
Tina disagrees. “I don’t think you can judge her on one performance. Why is she asked and fortunately Helga van Leur not? I’ve always hated her.”
Very jealous
Helga is really not a nice girl, according to Tina. “I have always thought she was terrible. She was also always very jealous of Piet Paulusma at the time, because he became weatherman or weatherwoman of the year year after year, because he was just very good with all those tables of his. He was very nice. Very passionate, a nice man, also outside of work.”
Backstage, the now deceased Piet was the same as in front of the camera, according to Tina. “Very nice, very nice, super nice. Very down to earth, just Frisian, very nice.”
Stitches
According to Tina, you can’t say that about Helga. “She was always very jealous and she would always hand out those publicity jabs in interviews, you know. I was of course team Piet. So I thought she was very bad at Pauw & De Wit. I thought her performance was very bad.”
“I do like Amara and I understand that they also want Amara at Pauw & De Wit, because she also talks much nicer than Helga van Leur.”
