Dear help: Jan de Hoop had a modest panic attack in the studio of the RTL Breakfast news. His retirement is approaching and he has not yet given it a place mentally.
Jan de Hoop will be in the studio of the RTL Breakfast News for the very last time on Thursday to read the news; he is then succeeded by colleague Robbie Kammeijer. And that is something to swallow for the 67-year-old presenter, who then suddenly has a lot of free time.
Minor panic attack
This week Jan had a panic attack. “It’s not that I disappear behind the geraniums, on the contrary, because immediately afterwards I start eight episodes of Janhoudt Huis at Omroep Gelderland. That is a really nice residential program that we are going to make. And I love the radio and our training sessions that we give together.”
He continues: “But then again, when I walk out of that studio on June 2, that will be the very last time and I have to confess – I always like to be open – that while I was there last week I had a small panic attack. From: what have I done?!”
‘This is it then’
Jan emphasizes that he has chosen to leave himself. “I have chosen to retire myself, given the news. I’m 67. But I still had a little panic attack, like: if I leave here later, that’s it.”
He concluded: “Fortunately I am blessed, not only with Coen, but also with a beautiful garden. Anyway, I can enjoy it a bit more soon. I look around a bit and enjoy the birds.”
