Oos Kesbeke, known from the reality series De Augurkenkoning, has the same personal trainer as Tina Nijkamp. She also provided his TV breakthrough. “I said: ‘You have to call Oos!’”
No one knew it, but Tina Nijkamp turns out to be the discoverer of Oos Kesbeke, who stars with his sons and pickle family in their own reality series on RTL. The two happened to be sitting next to each other on the talk show last night RENZE. “Do you know what Tina actually has to do with your program?” host Renze Klamer asks him.
Personal trainer
Oos indicates that he knows that now. “Yes, I know, but not for very long.”
Renze: “I don’t think anyone knows that, Tina, but you once gave a tip to a producer, didn’t you, like: ‘Do something with that!’”
Tina: “Yes, that’s right, because we know each other from the gym: ‘Hi, hi, hi!’, because we have the same personal trainer. Very chic. I always trained at seven or eight o’clock, and you always came after me, so we’d be like, ‘Hi.’”
Drink coffee
And then? Tina: “Then Oos had an interview in Het Parool and he had already been in a VPRO program once and then I was having coffee with that producer and then I said: ‘Do you know what you should do? You should call Oos, because I think that would be great fun for a reality series!’ So that’s how it happened.”
Renze: “And once it was done, you also received a thank you, I understand?”
Cute
Tina agrees. “Yes, I thought that was so cute, because of course I have nothing to do with it and I don’t want to take any credit for it, no, not at all, absolutely not. But I also thought it was so nice of that producer. He is also a very good TV maker.”
“So before the first broadcast, he had received a very large tin with all the stuff that Kesbeke makes. I enjoyed that for a very long time.”
