In the Belgian edition of Who is the mole? was seen earlier this month that the mole had withdrawn, as he could no longer handle the pressure of the game. Officially, it was the first time that the mole pulled the plug early, but fans of the program have their doubts about that. They claim that Roeland Fernhout already did a mole change with Yvon Jaspers in 2005.
In front of ‘s camera The Telegraph the actor makes an attempt to give an explanation when he is confronted by Max van den Broek with the rumor.
‘An adventure’
“I hear it for the first time,” says Fernhout with the necessary sarcasm. “Uh, uh… yes, let’s go around. I can’t say anything about it, of course. It was a very exciting time, let me say that. It was an adventure.”
But then it turns out that the actor – who is most likely dealing with a contract stating that he is not allowed to make statements about the content of the program – is still aware of the stories. When Van den Broek asks him whether he is startled by the question, he says: „I am not retarded. I called my agent, that I heard that my name is sometimes mentioned. So yes, then you can expect it to come now.”
Wie is de mol was won in 2005 by Marc-Marie Huijbregts, actress Lottie Hellingman already finished second.
