Eva Jinek became ill during the day and initially did not dare to go home. When she did, Antoinette Hertsenberg still had 40 (!) minutes to prepare for a live talk show…
Last month, Antoinette Hertsenberg unexpectedly filled in for Eva Jinek, who was ill. What was not known until now: how late in the day that decision was made, and how little time Antoinette had to prepare. Eva now tells it herself Show newsand it’s a story that puts Antoinette’s achievement in a very different light.
‘Didn’t dare’
Eva became ill during the day, but initially did everything she could to make an appearance. Of course, that says everything about the pressure that daily television brings. “I got sick during the day, but I didn’t dare decide to go home. I’ve really never done that in my life.”
“It was so late that Antoinette literally had forty minutes to prepare this. She only heard in the car that there was also a conversation in English.”
In English
It also explains why Eva was so cuddly with Antoinette the other day when she was a guest in the studio. “My gratitude to this woman is immeasurably great for stepping in and doing so well. That was just great.”
Celebrity expert Bart Ettekoven: “Can I give extra points to Antoinette Hertsenberg? Forty minutes in advance!”
All praise
Show news star Airen Mylene thought that Antoinette had already sounded out early in the morning. And even at such a moment, doubt would still be justified, according to her. “I really thought: she has woken up and then shouts: ‘I can’t make it! Arrange a replacement!’ But 40 minutes in advance…”
Bart: “That’s quite intense. She did very well.”
Airen: “Very good!”
The Shownieuws stars now recommend Antoinette as Eva’s summer replacement. Whether there is a budget for this is another matter…
