EO presenter Tijs van den Brink was not sorry that Fidan Ekiz dropped out as his co-presenter at the talk show On 1. Because of her decision, Van Den Brink only had to present the program once a week instead of every working day and he had more time for his own life, the presenter told Thursday AD.
“Honestly: if Fidan had wanted, I would have gone for it,” said the 49-year-old presenter who meets with Giovanca Ostiana every Tuesday On 1 presents. “Well with some stomach ache. But Fidan didn’t like it, which is very legitimate, and I wasn’t very sad that this was the outcome (with a different presentation duo every day, ed.).”
Van Den Brink also sees the disadvantages of presenting a talk show only once a week. “You will not get into a flow if you are only there once a week,” he explains. “I think that Giovanca and I are growing in our role, but it is going slower than if you were there every day.”
Van den Brink sees benefits for his private life. “When I got the talk show Knevel & Van den Brink I sat there every day for two months, “says the born Nijkerker.” I delved into it and really only came out eight weeks later. The entire weekend I was off the radar to sleep. For my environment I was just not that cozy. I can now keep my own life. “
