Giel Beelen, presenter on NPO Radio 2, seems to have overslept again on Wednesday morning for his own radio show. The night duo Rick van Velthuysen and Erik-Jan Rosendahl, which normally can be heard until 4 a.m., stayed there until 6 a.m.

It is the second time in a week that this has happened. Beelen was also absent in the night from Thursday to Friday because he had overslept. “He had sworn to me that this would never happen again”, Van Velthuysen sighed. He also added that he hoped there was nothing serious going on with Giel. “Surely it won’t be that we are joking now when serious things are happening.”
Criticism
The opening album was played by the duo Let’s work by Mick Jagger. Erik-Jan improvised a new version of Flappie by Youp van ‘t Hek, in which he sang to his supposedly sleeping colleague. “His name is Giel, he overslept again, you can’t say that his show runs smoothly. Giel earns seven grand here, but I think he mainly buys sleeping pills with all that money! ”
The night DJs called their colleague several times, but the phone was off. Whatsapp messages were not received either. Listeners also criticized the resident DJ. “How many alarm clocks can you buy for seven grand,” one of the callers wondered.
Beelen started presenting the morning show on NPO Radio 2 in early October.
