VTM has decided to broadcast the episode of Sergio across the border, in which Marco Borsato is a guest, cannot be broadcast. The station does this after the name of the singer was mentioned again in the affair surrounding the Dutch program The Voice of Holland. That writes HLN.

In the much-discussed Dutch online program “BOOS”, which will unpack on Thursday with revelations about The Voice of Holland, the name of Marco Borsato is also mentioned again. The singer had been a coach in the television program for years, but it would have gone beyond his scope and would have had inappropriate contact with young girls for years.
Three women told BOOS presenter Tim Hofman that Borsato had touched them on the buttocks. A 14-year-old candidate testified that Borsato touched her buttocks during a barbecue. When she ran away from him, he sought her out again afterwards.
VTM says it understands that the recent reporting on Borsato is causing a lot of fuss and therefore wants to “seek the serenity in this complex story”. That is why the broadcaster chooses to broadcast the Sergio across the border, in which star chef Sergio Herman goes on a trip with a well-known guest, with Marco Borsato as guest, not to be broadcast next Tuesday. The broadcast will be replaced by the episode with Axel Daeseleire as a guest.
