Annechien Steenhuizen has been absent for half a year as a presenter of the Achtuurjournaal and that leads to quite a few rumors. According to Privé, she may suffer from a tropical disease.
It always causes the wildest rumors if Dutch celebrities suddenly disappear from radio or television without any statement. It happened when Ron Brandsteder suddenly stopped showing up at NPO Radio 5, but even now that Floortje Dessing has not been found anywhere anymore. And also Annechien Steenhuizen has been absent for half a year at the NOS.
Where is Annechien?
What exactly is going on with Annechien is completely unclear, but last week the broadcaster against Podcast could not even say the communicados whether she will return to television at all. The conclusion of MediaDuider Victor Vlam? “What is going on is in any case very serious.”
Annechien does not want to make any announcements about it, so the NOS has little to say about it. What could it be? That’s the question that Weekly Private this week.
Road trip through Africa
The Privé points out that Annechien made a long journey just before her absence. “Before Annechien disappeared from the screen, she had just returned from her vacation, a road trip through Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa.”
What did that vacation look like with her husband and two children? At the time, she told Zin Magazine: “The four of them camps under the bare sky in tents on top of the roof of such a tough Land Rover.”
Tropical disease
In other words: incredibly adventurous. And perhaps it went wrong there, according to Privé. “It is of course possible that Annechien has sustained a tropical disease during that trip that still makes it impossible for her.”
Annechien worked not only for the NOS, but also for the NTR, where she talked to each other project Rembrandt. If that already returns, according to that broadcaster that will only be in 2026 or early 2027.
