Surprise at "Germany's Next Top Model": Apparently comedian Otto Waalkes will also be part of the party as a celebrity guest.
On February 4th the time has come: Then the starting signal for the 16th season of "Germany's Next Top Model" will be given. Model mom Heidi Klum (47) has already given another little insight via Instagram into who will be there as a celebrity guest or guest juror – a surprise surprise.
Two old friends can be seen in the little clip: Stefanie Giesinger (24), winner of the ninth "GNTM" season, and the second-placed member of the sixth season, Rebecca Mir (29), will appear as guest jurors. According to matching media reports, fashion designer Wolfgang Joop (76) should also take a seat in the jury chair.
A rather unusual guest is also part of the party: Otto Waalkes (72). The comedian can be seen briefly in the Instagram video. What role he will play in the casting show is not apparent from this.
Bill Kaulitz is also back on board
Klum had previously revealed that singer Bill Kaulitz (31) will also appear as a guest judge. The twin brother of Tom Kaulitz and brother-in-law of Heidi Klum was already there in the 14th season. Together with their band Tokio Hotel and the music duo Vize, the brothers are also contributing to this year's "GNTM" title song "White Lies". Tokio Hotel had already delivered the theme tune for the ProSieben show with "Melancholic Paradise" in 2019.
In addition to Bill Kaulitz, the French designer Thierry Mugler (72) and star photographers Ellen von Unwerth (67) and Rankin (54) will also be seen in the 16th season. In an Instagram story, Klum had also stated that the 2020 winner, Jacky Wruck (22), was on the "GNTM" set.
