Luuk Ikink gets a big kick out of Gijs Groenteman. The NPO star believes that the presenter of RTL Boulevard ‘has lost all shine’. “He’s really lost it.”
For years Luuk Ikink made witty sections on NPO Radio 1 until he suddenly became a well-known Dutchman in 2013. He then started working for Humberto Tan’s talk show, and a few years later he moved up to RTL Boulevard, where he is still the presenter. But his former listener Gijs Groenteman has now dropped out.

Teun: “You mean more of if you look at him now from…”
Gijs: “Yes, from: is it an upgrade he has had? Or is it a downgrade? I don’t know.”
Teun: “I don’t know either. But you only ask questions, don’t you, Gijs?”
Gijs: “Certainly.”
