Jordi Versteegden, the entertainment reporter of De Telegraaf who makes a podcast with Evert Santegoeds, is not welcome every week to Inside. “I think he is a bit too juice-like,” it sounds.
We see him appear more and more in programs on SBS 6: Jordi Versteegden, the entertainment reporter of De Telegraaf. After his appearances in News of the Day and Shownieuws, he also appeared at the bar of today Inside the day before yesterday. Johan Derksen, the most important star of VI, has mixed feelings about that.
False Wilfred
Wilfred Genee brings it up in the chat prior to the VI broadcast. “Last night a very happy Jordi Verstraten left the studio. Ehh, Verstraten?”
Note Johan improves him: “Versteegden.”
Wilfred: “Versteegden. Can you check, such an impression has left it! I have the impression that you are a bit critical about that?”
Too much juice
Johan is not so enthusiastic about it. “Well, I think Jordi is a great boy and I have regular contact with him. It’s a very nice guy, but I think he is a bit too juice-like. He belongs a bit with Boulevard and Shownieuws, and we have to look out, because I don’t want to get on those private affairs.”
He continues: “I have now seen the interview again that the magician and his wife together tell why the marriage went to hell. I don’t care! You are zapping and then they are back.”
‘I liked it’
Table guest Raymond Mens is enthusiastic. He says in the broadcast itself: “I liked it, especially when he talks about the television. He also talks about that at Shownieuws and he sometimes interviews Johan about that. I didn’t think he was gossiping a lot yesterday, it was just about the media. I thought that was fine.”
Telegraaf journalist Wierd Duk: “Jordi can talk very nicely, isn’t it? He prepares and then builds a very nice argument with a lot of emotion too.”
Nice colleague
Johan stays with it. “It is also a very nice colleague, but it is someone who fills the private pages at De Telegraaf and what we do not want here in the program is private information, which we recently had with Wouter de Winther.”
The VI-snor refers to the speculations of Victor Vlam about the private life of Wouter. Raymond about Jordi: “He doesn’t write about the Kazan and so on? He writes about Hilversumse.”
Johan: “Yes, he writes about that and he is worried about that, because that is of course his page fulfillment. I am a bit wary of that, but otherwise it is a very pleasant boy, he is very well-spoken.”
No invitation?
Does this mean that Jordi will no longer receive an invitation? “Yes, yes, but not weekly. Don’t exaggerate. I think Tina is a better party when she is free.”
Wilfred: “Yes, but Tina is a heavyweight. It has been participating for a long time.”
Jordi responds during the broadcast by WhatsApp: “A small correction: I write on the culture and media page, but I appreciate the honest and nice feedback.”
