Marieke Elsinga can be heard again on Qmusic after a break of a few weeks since Monday morning. The radio DJ started her first working day a little tense, she admitted.
“It just feels like the first day after a long high school summer holiday,” Elsinga told her colleague Mattie Valk just after the start of the program. “I’m super excited, but you don’t sleep well that first night because you’re so nervous that you see all your friends again.”
Elsinga temporarily stopped working in April to take it easy. Not only did her work at the radio stop for a while, but she also did not appear on television, where she, among other things, RTL Boulevard presents. She then informed the listeners via an audio message that she was going to take it easy for a while.
“I often get the question: how do you keep up with that? That you make radio and television,” she said. “My answer is always: I just think it’s the best thing to do. It gives me a lot of energy. But lately I notice that it costs me energy. And that’s why I decided to step on the brake for a while. “
Lately there have been rumors that Elsinga had temporarily stopped because she would participate in the new season of Who is the mole?, but she immediately debunked those stories on Monday morning. “I would find that very intense. If you use mental health to participate as something like Who is the mole? of Expedition Robinson or whatever. That is very stupid and also really bad”, she said firmly. “Dear people: I was just really ready for a break, for my face. I had worked too hard for too long.”
