Heleen van Royen is no longer welcome at the Today Inside talk show table, because Johan Derksen thinks she is an extremely bad guest. “I think she’s a bit of Coffee Time level.”
The men of Today Inside are busy finding new female talk show guests. Catherine Keyl seems on board, but John de Mol thinks she is too old. And what about Angela de Jong? That is also no longer popular. “What actually happened to Heleen van Royen? Wasn’t that a lot of fun?” Merel Ek wonders in yesterday’s VI.
Coffee time level
Wilfred Genee then reveals that Johan Derksen no longer has any interest in Heleen. “Yes, I still think that’s fine, but you thought that, uhh… Right?”
Johan admits: “Yes, I liked the Koffietijd level.”
Wilfred: “Yes, but that can also be nice from time to time, right? A little coffee time? Isn’t that nice from time to time?”
Johan: “Yes, but no… She looks good, she has a good appearance, but I didn’t think it fit between us.”
Pretty special
René van der Gijp thinks that Heleen also felt threatened by Johan. “It’s also quite special, Johan, when you are invited to a talk show and you come for a second time and someone immediately says to you: ‘Now you’re talking nonsense.’ That’s good for people because they might be a bit shocked. That they think: hey, I’m not used to that.”
Johan: “I thought she didn’t understand it much. Wilfred is a master at promoting his own song, but Hélène was at one point promoting her tennis tournament in the village and so on.”
“Guys, come on!”
Wilfred didn’t like that either. “Yes, then it went away for a while.”
Johan: “Then I think: yes, guys, come on.”
Wilfred: “If she ever comes again it will be: gas on the lollipop!”
Johan: “No, but look, I’m not going to lie about it, I have nothing against her, but I don’t think she’s such a great guy.”
Wilfred laughs: “Yes, that will be good for her self-confidence if she wants to come again, I think. Hahaha. Then you will enjoy going there.”
