Verena Kerth (41) is a candidate for the 16th season of the reality TV show “I’m a star – get me out of here!”. “Of course people were surprised because I always said that I don’t do anything like that. I haven’t had anything to do with reality TV before,” revealed the presenter in an interview with RTL. She got inspiration for her participation from her partner Marc Terenzi (44). The singer was even able to win the show in 2017 and was crowned king of the jungle. “It was one of the best experiences in my whole life,” he looks back in an interview with RTL. “When you pass an exam and get stars, you feel like you can do anything.”
The biggest test is the camp itself, emphasizes Terenzi. “All the people, 24 hours, little food and little sleep.” The singer also gives his partner a tip: “You have to take your time. If someone freaks out in the camp, don’t answer immediately. Think before you say anything.” Since she speaks faster than she thinks, that could be a problem, Kerth notes. “Well, with me you always know immediately where you stand.” She is looking forward to the detox time in the camp without a smartphone and has decided to forego two luxury items that the campers are allowed to take with them. “My motto is: all or nothing.”
The distance to her partner during the show does not bother the presenter. “We’ve been together for more than five months and I don’t think we saw each other one night. I’m very happy now, we’ve been living together for a short time. I go in with the positive thought that it will be pure relaxation.” In lonely moments, “with my sleeping bag on the ground, I might miss you a bit too,” she adds, speaking to her partner.
In addition to Kerth, singer Lucas Cordalis (55), actor Martin Semmelrogge (67), actress Jana Pallaske (43) and YouTube star and influencer Jolina Mennen (30) will move to the camp. For the first time, Sonja Zietlow (54) will moderate the popular reality show on site in Australia together with Jan Köppen (39) after Daniel Hartwich (44) said goodbye. Jungle camp doctor Dr. Bob (72) will also be there again. Season 16 kicks off on January 13, 2023.
