Bridget Maasland would find it very ‘Nasty’ if Matthijs van Nieuwkerk will indeed become the new presenter of Stars on the canvas. “Yes, that would be very Nasty actually.”
Jan Slagter does not want to continue with Özcan Akyol as a presenter of Sterren on the Doek, because according to the Max-Baas broadcaster the presenter has not repented enough for his role in the Matthijs van Nieuwkerk scandal. According to Aran Bade, it seems that Matthijs is now being used as a successor to Özcan in the popular art program.
Matthijs as a successor
Bridget Maasland, who returned from vacation, also sees that. She says in the RTL Boulevard From yesterday: “Can I think ahead for a moment? Could it be – I have been thinking about it – that the new presenter of stars on the curtain might be Matthijs van Nieuwkerk?”
Colleague Aran then: “Now you hit the nail on the head. That rumor is very persistent, but Jan denies it. It is rumor that it could just be.”
‘Would be nasty’
Bridget would find that a bit dirty, she notes. “That would be very bad nasty actually become. “
Aran: “Jans ultimate dream is perhaps Matthijs returned to television, especially now that he was so hurt by Eus and that the story was wrong.”
Private boss Evert Santegoeds about that in Shownieuws: “That would really be oil on the fire.”
And colleague Eva Vloon: “If he did, Eus would be completely white.”
Breach of contract
Back to Bridget. Who actually supports the Jan-Versus-EU-fight? “Very honestly: you can find something from both the sides of the story and say something, because both the sides did not go completely neat, but now of course Eus is actually coming up with a breach of contract. Then it is no longer personal.”
According to Eus, it has already been promised that he can also make stars on the canvas next year. Aran: “Yes, that is stated in that long argument of Eus. That there are still recordings in August and September, that there is anger, that there is uncertainty on the editors, that even the artist no longer gets a line on the canvas because they are completely leg. Well, I don’t believe that.”
Refreshing
Aran is in Kamp-Jan. “There is also no back support for EUS that he has triggered that video, that it was made up. That he does not come back to it at Zomergasten and does not do Mea Culpa and that Jan then responds to it in his first emotion at Shownieuws, I understand that and I think that is really justified.”
Bridget: “Yes, that’s why I started: there is something to say from both sides. Of course it is not true anyway and that it is then fought in the media is not at all.”
Finally, Aran: “It is refreshing that we see how it works, but it is not neat.”
