Paulien Cornelisse, the successor of Maarten van Rossem as a jury member in De Slimste Mens, suffers from cancer. How exactly are her? “You are not unhappy 24 hours a day if you have cancer.”
It has arrived with many people as a windfall: the news that Paulien Cornelisse becomes the successor of Maarten van Rossem in De Slimste Mens. Not so strange, because the day before there was still hinted on Margriet van der Linden. According to Albert Verlinde, Paul’s health situation is striking. “She’s sick too?”
‘She has cancer’
Tina Nijkamp agrees as a stool guest of Today Inside. “Yes, she is sick. She has cancer. Yes, she never let go of anything about that, so we don’t know how it goes,” said the TV authority.
Paulien, who had all her thyroid gland removed in 2021 after a warning from a Jinek viewer, announced in August that cancer had been diagnosed with her, putting a line by her theater tour Komma. “I am now being treated by very good doctors and nurses,” she said about it Instagram.
‘Not great’
At the time, Paulien indicated that he would continue to write her Volkskrant column. “I now have my annual Volkskrant summer recess, but from September you can find me again on the front page (as long as it goes).”
A column that René van der Gijp really doesn’t like. He says: “I have to say: I think she has a column in the Volkskrant and I don’t love it. I don’t love it. I don’t often have that I read and think: no, not often.”
How are you?
The big question is: how is Paulien now? She said something about it two months ago, namely in an interview with de Volkskrant. “A sigh is a concern, a ‘hey’ is an expression of hope. Once at the table:” I have to say, there is a lot of that kind since I have cancer. “
She continues in that piece: “You finish all kinds of things. Then there has been another scan: hey, he is over.”
De Volkskrant: “No Oer-Hèhè, she emphasizes, because the activity is not yet ready, the disaster is not averted.”
Precise kind
Paulien does not make the precise type of cancer and how things are going. “I don’t like it if people I don’t know are going to google personally.”
“You can write down that I am being treated energetically. And that I have just had an operation that makes me run temporarily on crutches. Then the people I hope to meet on the book ball know that.”
Unhappy
Loretta Schrijver was also on television for years while she had cancer. Paulien: “For this I thought that if you get cancer you are unhappy 24 hours a day. That turns out not to be the case at all.”
The renewed De Slimste Mens will not be seen this year in the summer, but in the high season, namely from 1 September. There is also a new time: 9.30 pm, right in front of VI.
