On Saturday evening, Florian Silbereisen celebrated – initially unknowingly – his 20th career anniversary on “The Big Hit Surprise” on the first. The presenter, who originally assumed that he would surprise DJ Ötzi with the “big hit anniversary”, was instead celebrated on his own show. Anna Ermakova created a very enchanting moment when she asked Silbereisen to do a spontaneous and romantic duet.
Dressed in a light blue mini dress with straps and a matching bow in her hair, the “Let’s Dance” winner and “Supertalent” juror entered the stage. “I am so grateful for this opportunity, dear Florian, and as a thank you I have brought you a little surprise,” announced Ermakova, taking a seat with Silbereisen on a white bench with atmospheric lantern lighting.
Ermakova then sang the classic “Something Stupid.” Silbereisen sang the passage “I love you” in the chorus. The two even performed a sweet dance routine on stage and beamed at each other. In addition, Boris Becker’s daughter also performed her new version of “Son of a Preacher Man” from her upcoming album “Behind Blue Eyes”.
On Instagram, Silbereisen thanked his duet partner again and for the entire show, which left him amazed. “I’ve never sung a duet on stage that I didn’t know anything about. But Anna Ermakova prepared the surprise so well, it worked right away,” he enthused.
In addition to Anna Ermakova, numerous stars, friends and companions of Silbereisen were also there, such as Howard Carpendale, Maite Kelly, Joko Winterscheidt, Anastacia, Andy Borg, Matthias Reim, the Ehrlich Brothers, Prime Minister Dr. Reiner Haseloff and his wife, Wencke Myhre, Mickie Krause, Ross Antony, Ben Zucker, Semino Rossi, Marianne Rosenberg and Thomas Anders.
In addition to DJ Ötzi, Barbara Schöneberger, who took over Silbereisen’s moderation, was behind the secret mission. The show was recorded in Leipzig on February 29th.
