BVListening to people and their stories: that’s what James Cooke (37) loves to do. That is why he is the perfect presenter for ‘Extreme Makeover Flanders’. The violent stories he hears there make him realize more than ever how good he has it. “After a shot like that, I don’t worry if I’m stuck in a traffic jam again,” he says in ‘Story’. The presenter also talks about his relationship with Dorian, the bond with good friend Gert Verhulst and his insecurities. “I am happy with those few kilos less.”
