Fidan Ekiz, presenter of Op1, admitted live on television last night that she found Thierry Baudet very sexy in his early days. “Yeah, if you look at what’s out there…”
It’s a good thing that Fidan Ekiz is kept in line by Sven Kockelmann at the Op1 talk show table, because at the table with Hélène Hendriks and Eveline Stallaart it degenerated into The Orange Summer soon in a tea party. At one point it was about which male politicians are ‘sexy’.
Sexy Thierry
Hostess Hélène: “Fidan, who do you think is a sexy politician?”
Fidan then confesses: “I think Hans van Mierlo in his younger years. Yes, right? A very charismatic, charming man. That he went down the street with his raincoat like that. And I think, again in his early days – apparently there is nothing now: Thierry Baudet. When he had just started I thought: if you look at what is walking around there, surely that is…”
Swimming pool photo
Then Thierry’s famous swimming pool photo appears. “Not because of this photo!”
Now she is no longer on Thierry. “Not now, but then.”
What does Eveline Stallaart actually think of Thierry lying naked on a swimming pool edge at the time? The sexologist: “I find it difficult. Was he really a politician then? I think it’s a special choice, let’s put it this way. I wouldn’t do it myself.”
Fidan: “Do you know who is beautiful by the way, I change my mind? Gunay Uslu. That’s a sexy, beautiful woman.”
‘Does it help?’
Hélène: “Does it help or doesn’t it help if you’re a beautiful politician? Or do you mind?”
Eveline: “No, I think it’s okay, because I think people would still prefer to hear what you have to say. It sounds short-sighted, but I think that’s the case. That people enjoy watching and listening to you.”
Orange-yellow
Back to Thierry on that pool edge. Wouldn’t Fidan like to lie next to it? No, not that. She hates sunbathing, she recently confessed to her Telegraaf column.
The reason? Fidan then resembles a kind of Oompa Loompa at the end of the day. “I never get a nice tan. Rather orange-yellow. And I get spots.”
