Hélène Hendriks keeps hundreds of thousands of viewers captivated night after night, yet the vast majority have never seen her in person. This leaves them wondering, “What does she smell like? ‘The fish department of Sligro!’”
Recently, Thomas van Groningen made a reappearance on the show “De Oranjezomer”. During this segment, he recounted his recent vacation to Spain, where he encountered many Dutch people, including a number of SBS 6 viewers. One conversation stood out during his trip, which he felt was important to share.
What Does Hélène Smell Like?
During his trip, Thomas shared, “I went to Spain for ten days, specifically to the Costa Brava, which is a place I visit each year. It’s quite relaxing. The village is called Llafranc. Many viewers of ‘De Oranjezomer’ also go there, and I had a peculiar experience I must tell you about.”
When asked what this experience was, he humorously recalled, “Strangely enough, it happened twice during my ten days there where someone approached me and asked… the last encounter was at the Barcelona airport. A man came up to me and asked, ‘How does Hélène Hendriks smell?’”
Sligro’s Fish Department
What answer did Thomas provide? “I spent days thinking of a clever reply. I should have said, ‘The fish department of Sligro,’ but honestly, I just didn’t know. It’s odd, isn’t it? This question has been posed to me twice. I can’t quite figure out why.”
In a playful exchange, Hélène chimed in, “But you’ve never sniffed me, so that’s peculiar.” Thomas replied, “No, I don’t know the answer either! Do people ever ask you that question?”
Hélène concluded, “No, no one has ever asked me! It’s really strange.”
