Jack van Gelder returns to Hélène Hendriks after one week of absence. According to the presenter, he was not canceled after the Henri Bontenbal-Rumoer. “It’s just private.”
It was pretty unexpected: Jack van Gelder did not joined the Oranjezondag last Sunday, while he normally sits faithfully opposite Hélène Hendriks every week. The former sports presenter had just had a lot of criticism because of the way he criticized Henri Bontenbal, while he refused to read his CDA program.
Jack put aside?
For a moment it was rumor that Jack was put aside by Hélène, but that turns out not to be the case. “By the way, people want to know: is he there again on Sunday or not? People are really upset, from: where is Jack van Gelder?”, Wilfred Genee asks her in the Today Inside from last night.
Hélène then: “Jack van Gelder? Yes, I have never had so many bubbles after a broadcast.”
Johan Derksen: “I also thought: there will be a shit.”
Pile
Wilfred Genee also suspected that something had happened behind the scenes. “I honestly thought so, yes,” he says.
Hélène: “Normally that is the case. No … but he is just there. But he was prevented.”
Wilfred: “Yes, prevented sounds so vague. What was it then?”
Hélène: “Yes, that is private, that is up to him whether or not to tell.”
“Nothing is private!”
Johan is curious about it. “No, nothing is private with us.”
Hélène: “No, I will certainly not do that, but he will be there again on Sunday. So he is not canceled or whatever. He was just prevented. But I am glad he is back. Certainly.”
Wilfred: “You don’t feel completely without a jacket?”
Hélène: “Then you will feel amputated.”
‘Very good’
Johan has expressed fierce criticism of Jack in the Bontenbal-Rel-riot, but did not drop out. “Jack is very good with you in his role.”
TV authority Tina Nijkamp: “I think it is mainly because nothing was said about it, because he was announced on Friday and suddenly he was not there.”
Finally, Hélène: “Yes, I should have said it indeed. It was also a bit of a switch, because it was quite late that Raymond was flown in, but he is also there this week and Sam Hagens is coming. I like that.”
