Matthijs van Nieuwkerk continues to hide. He has not shown himself in public once since his exposure as a studio executioner and Luuk Ikink thinks that is a bit strange.

RTL Boulevard star Luuk Ikink finds it very strange that Matthijs van Nieuwkerk still plays a hermit in his farmhouse in Almen two and a half months after his exposure as a studio executioner. “To become a hermit is perhaps a bit exaggerated, right?”, he wonders in his show section on RTL 4.

Leo responds

Matthijs talked about the tongue in Boulevard yesterday, because his buddy Leo Blokhuis has given a reaction to the image for the first time. The ‘pop professor’ says: “I really enjoyed and inspired working with Matthijs and I would like to do that again, but then it has to be possible. Let’s just wait for the investigations and see what happens.”

The two gentlemen made the Top 2000 a gogo together, but in the last edition Matthijs was replaced by Herman van der Zandt. Will Matthijs return there? TV connoisseur Rob Goossens: “It actually went pretty well with Herman van der Zandt, of course, so I don’t think it will happen with this program.”

Unfortunately

Luke would find that disappointing. “I also think it’s a shame, because Matthijs van Nieuwkerk is, regardless of what happened, also an incredibly good presenter.”

The employees of the Top 2000 a gogo are also relatively safe, thinks Rob. “This is also a program where even someone who apparently has a knack for becoming a bit tyrannical when pressure builds up… You can let that go pretty safely there, because with this program it just wouldn’t erupt that quickly. It remains sad.”

Withdrawn

Leo says that he still has occasional contact with Matthijs. Rob about this: “We know that he has lived quite a withdrawn life since the publication of de Volkskrant, so I am a little pleased that he is at least still in contact with some people from the world with whom he has always had a good relationship. .”

2023 will be the year of truth for. Matthijs. Leo concludes: “You would prefer to go back a year and then just move on, but things have happened and I am not very good at making a statement about that.”
