At the start of the anniversary season of “Celebrity Big Brother”, the celebrities had to show full physical exertion on Friday evening (8:15 p.m. on Sat.1). The snail game, in which the stars had to slip into a corresponding costume with a snail shell on their back, should have caused laughter both in the studio and in front of the TV screens at home. However, what was not seen on television: an emergency operation with “Deutschland sucht den Superstar” icon Menderes Bagci (38).
After the singer had completed the task of crawling through the finish line with a head of lettuce in his mouth, he finally got up again. However, he suffered a faint spell. The “Bild” newspaper has corresponding pictures showing Menderes being supported by a crew member. An emergency doctor was then on hand and treated the 38-year-old on site.
Menderes’ manager explained “Bild”: I was able to follow the scenes from the stands in the studio. It seemed his circulation had slowed down a bit. I was worried.” After a few minutes, however, Menderes was already feeling better and he was able to return to his team-mates inconspicuously.
“After a week of quarantine in the hotel without any sporting activity, the late game might have been a bit too much for him. I was glad that the staff reacted so quickly and well and that a doctor was on the spot,” his manager continued .
