Heleen van Royen was supposed to join Today Inside yesterday, but she didn’t come. Host Wilfred Genee hopes it has nothing to do with her TV quarrel with Johan Derksen.
There was a lot of irritation last week in Today Inside between Heleen van Royen and Johan Derksen. He thinks it is a great shame that the Netherlands sends all kinds of dignitaries to the World Cup in Qatar, but she is annoyed at his pointing finger. “Now you keep saying stupid things!” exclaimed the football analyst at one point.
Helen falls out
Actually, Heleen was supposed to be in Today Inside for the first time since that fierce conflict yesterday, but she didn’t show up. Job Knoester was called in as a replacement.
Job didn’t see it coming. “I was working very hard today. I was in Leeuwarden, then I had to go to Groningen. Then Sam van Royen called that a guest had dropped out,” he says, pointing to Heleen’s son, who works at the VI editorial office and has damaged Eva Jinek in that capacity.
neck pain
Heleen has canceled due to neck pain, according to Wilfred. “Yes, Heleen was felled unfortunately. We hope it’s not related to last week’s feedback. It was, of course, purely positive and constructive, right? From: ‘You are talking out of your ass?’ She now has a problem with her neck. She really does have a neck hernia.”
Johan laughs: “I understand that, yes. If you talk out of your neck, your neck hurts.”
Wilfred: “Yeah, so I hope it doesn’t have to do with that.”
Tonight Hélène Hendriks is a guest in Today Inside.
