It is still not clear whether trash TV macho Luigi “Gigi” Birofio (23) will participate in this year’s season of “I’m a Star – Get Me Out of Here!” as planned. can participate. As broadcaster RTL announced last Saturday (January 7), Birofio tested positive for Corona using a PCR test and has been in self-isolation since then. One who can best understand how the 23-year-old is doing is his jungle camp comrade-in-arms Lucas Cordalis (55).
In a video message, Cordalis now addresses constructive words to the sick person: “I’m so sorry! […] The same thing happened to me last year in South Africa. You’ve been looking forward to this huge jungle camp adventure for so long and then you’re going to the knocked out the last few meters, it’s such a bad feeling.”
In particular, the feeling between “hope and fear” gnawed at Cordalis’ nerves at the time. “Maybe it still works. One hopes to get well soon and that somehow it will still be possible to go to the jungle camp.” As is well known, it was not enough for Cordalis last year, he had to return home without having achieved anything. His participation this year is his second attempt to win the jungle crown like his late father Costa Cordalis (1944-2019) once did.
“So dear ‘Gigi’, I wish you an incredibly quick recovery and a speedy recovery. I would be so happy to be with you in the jungle camp. […] Be strong, boy!” Cordalis ends his message. Other participants did the same in the short clip, such as Claudia Effenberg (57): “‘Gigi’ must be there! This is a young man who will bring power to our team. He is part of our team and I wish me that he will recover very, very quickly.” Influencer Jolina Mennen (30), top model Papis Loveday (46) and reality star Cecilia Asoro (25) followed with encouraging words.
The 16th season of “I’m a Celebrity – Get Me Out of Here!” starts on January 13th on RTL and via RTL. For the first time, instead of Daniel Hartwich (44), moderator Jan Köppen (39) will be alongside jungle camp veteran Sonja Zietlow (54).
