Private star journalist Jan Uriot is critical of the moment when Martijn Krabbé reveals that he has cancer. “I think it’s all way too early. Just wait and see.”
Martijn Krabbé has announced via his Instagram page that he has been diagnosed with cancer. The presenter will continue to appear on television, but will put his work on the back burner. “I see plenty of opportunities to do something with this. There are several treatment options,” says the Buy Without Looking star.
Response from Wendy
Private star journalist Jan Uriot thinks it’s terrible. “Sad. Very sad. Of course he doesn’t say much about it himself, because we don’t know what type of cancer it is, but he vents about it on Insta and wants to be left alone. Then of course others respond to it,” he says in the podcast Strictly Private.
He continues to his colleague Jordi Versteegden, reporter at De Telegraaf: “You thought that was surprising, but I think it is actually logical. So on that platform he says that he is seriously ill and then I don’t find it very strange that Wendy van Dijk, for example, responds to that.”
Way too early
Jordi has mixed feelings about that. “What I actually said is that I see Wendy van Dijk, but also many other colleagues from RTL, among others, wishing him good luck in addition to that message, while I think: I can hope that those people will also simply use the app separately. sent a message.”
Jan thinks the timing of Martijn’s message is wrong. “It’s all way too early for me, because when you told me I was like: why is he venting about that via Insta? I mean, he has no work at the moment.”
‘Wait a minute’
Jordi points out that Martijn will be back on screen after the weekend. “Well, a new season of Buying Without Watching starts on Monday.”
Jan: “But that has all already been recorded. Then I think: just wait and see how your health is going and then you can come up with that later. Whether it is very serious, we don’t know that either.”
All in all, Martijn gets a good lesson in oncological etiquette. Hopefully he can coordinate his personal health updates a little better with Jan and Jordi next time. Are they satisfied again at Privé…
