Jan de Hoop received so many messages after goodbye | Stars

entertainment">“It was 50,000 Tweetjes and Instagram messages,” said the former newsreader. “People who have shared their entire lives with me. A woman who had lost her daughter, who supported my voice in the morning. I didn’t know all that. It took me two days to answer as many messages as possible.”

entertainment">According to De Hoop, the secret of reading breakfast news well is that you ‘have to feel it’. “Last week I had a message about that terrible shooting in Texas, and then a message about Feyenoord. Then you can think in advance: now take a serious look with me and be quiet for a while. That doesn’t work – you have to feel it. Then it goes well.”

entertainment">De Hoop presented its last one last Thursday RTL Breakfast news, something he did for 33 years. When the 67-year-old presenter spoke his last words in the program, he could not hold back his tears. Immediately after the broadcast, he was appointed Knight in the Order of Orange-Nassau.
