It is probably the most violent celebrity show that RTL has created with “Unbreakable”. German stars like Hardy Krüger Jr., Mimi Fiedler and Christian Kahrmann are not only pushing their limits physically, but also mentally.
Everything comes to the table in “Unbreakable” – bad addictions, family problems, big fears. The celebrities should deal with the points in their résumés and work through them that are particularly stressful for them. Already in episode one tears flow from almost all candidates, including professional dancer Ekaterina Leonova, 34, who unpacks about her family history.
Ekaterina Leonova bursts into tears
The fact that it was not always easy for the native Russian in her past became clear a few months ago with the VOX show “The Stars’ Choice Menu – All Under One Roof”. At that time, Ekat said that as a child she was always in the middle of a conflict with her parents and that physical violence was also the order of the day.
Now the 34-year-old is even more specific on “Unbreakable”: “I was born into a Russian, very conservative family. My parents loved me very much, but I saw no love. I was just trapped because my parents met each other every day Arguing … Not just arguing, it was screaming, it was up to the blood. When I see these pictures of mom flying into the bathtub and me as a child … “, she tells her buddy partner Mimi Fiedler through tears , 46.
Everything for the dream of dancing
Her parents had put Ekaterina under enormous pressure to get married and have children. But in the end she was very much supported by them in her dream of becoming a dancer. A situation that awakened the discipline in Ekat that made her win “Let’s Dance” three years in a row. “Dad didn’t go on vacation for seven years so I could dance. Mom made clothes at night so I could dance. They saved up so I could dance. They did everything so that I could achieve something.”
Now Ekat wants to learn to make decisions that are for her best and not just for her parents’ best.
“Unbreakable” runs from November 10th on RTL and is already available on RTL +.
