Raphael Bouman, Linda de Mol’s teasing spirit, reappears in the media. According to Yvonne Coldeweijer, he has been hired to participate as a fake candidate in Holland’s Next Top Model.
The TV classic Holland’s Next Top Model is being revived after three years by RTL, but then on Videoland. The recordings with Loiza Lamers as the new presenter – Anna Nooshin was thrown out due to ignorance – are largely over. One of the ‘candidates’ in that new series of episodes is now causing quite a stir.
Candidate or actor?
Yvonne Coldeweijer reveals that the young model Raphael Bouman, best known as the teaser of Linda de Mol, has been paid to participate in the program for exactly nine episodes. “Nothing ‘hungry model’, how they’re going to portray him, just an actor. Was paid to participate,” she says on her private spy army chat.
It was agreed in advance with Raphael that he would resign of his own accord in the ninth episode, Yvonne reports. “He’s just booked up to episode nine and he got a bag of money for that.”
Receipt at Top Model
However, discussion has now arisen about his presence at the final and the reunion, Yvonne knows. According to producer EndemolShine, he should just be present, while Raphael would not want that. Not only because he would not have been paid for that, but also because he would have had a fight with presenter Loiza during the recordings.
Raphael arrived at the producer’s office on Tuesday, Yvonne knows. The discussion between Raphael and the TV makers is said to have grown so high that it could be heard ‘even in the hallways’, she says. She also plays a number of audio fragments of that encounter in her private spy army chat.

Linda’s teaser
Raphael is best known as the teasing spirit of Linda de Mol. He caused the presenter to be very negative in the news in the spring by claiming that he had been fired for taking a selfie with her. That selfie also made the social section of RTL Boulevard at the time.
According to Linda’s manager Xenia Kasper, Raphael was simply warned that it is not the intention to just post pictures from behind the scenes online and he was only active as an extra for one day.
The photo with Linda is still on Raphael’s Instagram page:
