The day after the end of the anniversary season “I’m a Star – Get Me Out of Here!” (RTL and also on RTL) the finalists have their say. As part of the “jungle press conference”, in addition to jungle queen Lucy Diakovska (47), third place, influencer Twenty4Tim (23), and second place, ex-“Bachelor” candidate Leyla (27), also answered the questions.
First, a very happy Tim appeared on the screen in a bathrobe with messy hair and emphasized that he was “totally happy”. “I’m not even one percent sad – I haven’t felt this well in years.” He also quickly started talking about his appearance. In fact, he has made the biggest transformation of all the campers.
“The jungle has masculinized me a bit, I now have a beard,” says Tim. And he has visibly lost weight, “actually a good nine kilos,” he beams. “If you only eat rice and beans every day, it has positive effects on your body,” he praises the jungle camp diet, which is always so hated during the show.
He was particularly happy about the news that his father was a guest on the RTL program “Point Twelve” and was said to have become very emotional there. “I’m hearing that for the very first time. I’m very happy about that,” said Tim, touched. He is also very happy that his dad hopefully heard his words, “that I am very proud of him, and also proud of both of us, that we tried to understand each other a little better.”
Leyla appeared in front of the journalists a little exhausted, but perfectly styled in a silver sequined evening dress with yellow and pink feather decoration. Regarding the most pressing personal question about her flirtation with fellow camper Mike Heiter (31), which ultimately ended in disappointment, she says: “I haven’t really been able to talk to Mike yet. But I can already notice a tense atmosphere between us, which doesn’t make the whole thing so pleasant.” She goes on to explain: “I don’t think it’s likely to go down the dating route,” says Leyla; at the moment it looks more like friendship.
She speaks differently about fellow camper and Heiter ex Kim Virginia (28). They want to “make other people’s lives hell.” The arguments between Kim and Mike would have been very annoying. It was “the same cassette every day,” and at some point Leyla was able to “speak in sync.” “It was so exhausting. Discussions with Kim were more strenuous than the exams,” is her conclusion.
The notorious lack of food, however, also took a toll on her weight. “I actually lost five kilos,” she says. But she doesn’t complain about this in the conference. Only the hygienic conditions, i.e. “smelling”, were “very, very bad” for Leyla.
Nevertheless, she is happy about her second place: “I am Princess from the Jungle”. When asked about a possible next TV format, the 27-year-old reality TV participant presents a not so far-fetched suggestion: “I come from the ‘Bachelor’ cosmos, maybe I’ll be the next ‘Bachelorette’, Because as you can see, things are still not working out with men. Let’s see, I’m definitely open to further projects.”
