Johan Derksen is extremely frank on television about the health situation of his wife, but how is his dog Cuby? “That will be reported soon.”
It was an unusual situation on Tuesday evening inside: Johan Derksen’s chair was occupied unannounced by Albert Verlinde, because the VI-snor was at home due to ‘private circumstances’. One evening later Johan was sitting at the table again to tell what was going on: his wife broke her hip just before the broadcast.
Relieved
There was still fear that Johan’s wife might have a tumor, or bone cancer, but last night-another broadcast later-the VI-star said that nothing has been found for the time being. And all those statements by Johan are now national news, because VI is by far the most viewed talk show in our country.
How relieved is Johan on a scale of 1 to 10? “Well, this morning a 10, yes. If a doctor tells you that there is a big chance that your wife will have cancer, then you will be in a panic. Now you only have the chance … The piece of bone is still being put on breeding and that is still being tested, and otherwise the false alarm has been.”
Lucky
Johan feared before the death of his wife. “But that doctor said to me:” If a hip breaks without falls, then there is almost always a tumor, “he says,” So with us all the alarm bells went off. “
Wilfred Genee: “I can imagine that. It would be great. A medical miracle actually if it’s all okay now?”
Johan: “Well, a medical miracle …”
Wilfred: “Yes, but special, right? You don’t just break a hip from nowhere?”
Johan: “Had lucky.”
Dog not dead
When Johan was absent on Tuesday, many people initially thought that his dog Cuby had died. Earlier, the VI-star indicated that the death of a dog feels like the death of a family member. That turned out not to be the case. However, that dog has reached the age at which most labo noodles die.
How is that dog doing now? According to Parool columnist Stefan Raatgever, we will probably also hear that. He is surprised in the newspaper About that there are so many VI-Feitjes National News. “It remains an inexplicable mechanism: every company news within today inside causes a media bomb.”
Bat
According to him, the media take VI too seriously. “Every quarrel at the table of the program, founded to cause arguments, is defeated as if it is a geopolitics conflict. (…) If Johan Derksen is missing a day, no theme broadcast of investigation is set up.”
“The obsession for the men of VI cannot come out of nothing but opportunism: reporting on the program always scores. (…) And so there will probably be messages about the new checks of Mrs Derksen and then about the health of the dog.”
