Matthijs van Nieuwkerk has app contact with RTL Boulevard for the first time in a year. According to Luuk Ikink, this indicates that the presenter is now really back.
After the leak of his monstrous behavior on the set of De Wereld Draait Door, things have been quiet around Matthijs van Nieuwkerk for a long time. For a long time. He hid on his farm. Every now and then he had the handle of the local café De Hoofdige Boer in his hand, but then he cycled back home in shame. All terrible.
Comeback is near
But now Matthijs is back: he did the book presentation of Özcan Akyol and the album presentation of Anouk. He also interviewed her and that conversation will be posted online tomorrow. “If Robbert Rodenburg can conduct interviews on the internet, then Matthijs van Nieuwkerk can certainly do that,” says TV expert Rob Goossens in RTL Boulevard.
According to Rob, the TV comeback is near. “I think we should assume that we will see him again on television, if only because he has an expensive contract with a producer, who I assume also expects him to be back on television at some point.” will make programs that they can then produce.”
Gong has gone
No one can ignore it anymore: Matthijs is back, says Rob. “He hasn’t done such terrible things that he should get a life sentence. Looks like the gong has sounded. It is time for Matthijs van Nieuwkerk to come back.”
You can even text him again, Luuk Ikink continues. “We spoke to Matthijs van Nieuwkerk today. Our editor sent him a quick text, saying: ‘Hey, can we know something about this thing you just recorded with Anouk.’ Well, he replied that it was a nice text, but that he is really too busy at the moment.”
‘Not for a year’
Matthijs was too busy with Anouk’s album presentation, but the fact that he showed something is already news according to Luuk. “Another encouragement for our editor: we are no longer going to win the Sonja Barend Award, but Matthijs is suddenly making himself heard again and that hasn’t happened in a year, right, that you could app him. He is there again.”
Anouk’s album presentation must have been confrontational for Matthijs, because it took place in the Fabrique des Lumières hall in Amsterdam.
Exciting experience
What’s special about that? Die Fabrique is located right next to the former DWDD studio. “This was an exciting experience for Matthijs, partly because the Des Lumières factory is located a few meters away from the studio where he has presented DWDD year after year,” says Evert Santegoeds in Show news.
He concludes: “It must have been an emotional place for him to walk across that bridge past that studio.”
