Frank van Leeuwen, the co-host of Welmoed Sijtsma at the morning show of NPO 1, has fallen in love in the workplace. And the big boss Sven Kockelmann has now given his blessing …
It will have been a big hangover for Frank van Leeuwen: with great success, he and Welmoed Sijtsma present the morning show on NPO 1, Good morning Netherlands, but he has passed hard for the late talk show replacement. Welmoed will have the summer substitute from Bar Lao de Doen together with Sam Hagens. Against her will.
Backstag
The 30-year-old WNL star Frank has more time in this way for his new beloved Thijs Hoek. They got to know each other behind the scenes, they will tell this week in a duo interview with the Varagist.
Thijs says the five years younger: “We got to know each other at Radio 1. I was already working for Svens Radio program and made the switch from KRO-NCRV to WNL with him.”
First to Sven
To prevent uncomfortable situations, Frank and Thijs have informed the big boss Sven at an early stage. “When we really got something, we told Sven first at work. He really enjoyed it and gave us his blessing.”
Not only in the field of work are the men very busy with television, they also watch a lot at home. Frank sees many current affairs for his work. “What Eva does is top sport. On Prime Time, four days a week, on your own. Hats off,” he says.
Very good
His beloved Thijs is more charmed by Wilfred Genee. “Yes, I also want to have said that I think Wilfred Genee is very good. How he forces those men at the table in terms of control and pace is unparalleled.”
What Frank does not like is the docu’s that Thijs watches. “At such a moment I look back Only Joling. Something like that is the ultimate relaxation for me. I love his authenticity. He is not normal, but still. He can very well mirror himself to ordinary people.”
