Ekaterina Leonova denies love rumors
In 2017, Ekaterina Leonova, 34, and Gil Ofarim, 39, won the “Let’s Dance” trophy. The dancer and the musician were a strong team, seemed well-rehearsed and harmonious. Rumors of an alleged affair persisted. Now the professional dancer, who is back on the dance floor for “Let’s Dance” after a break, is clearing up the speculation once and for all.
“There have always been and always will be rumors about ‘Let’s Dance’ dancing couples. I can say that we were a dancing couple and we were able to win the trophy. That’s of course my goal this year with Basti Bielendorfer,” says “Ekat ” versus “image”. She has no contact with Gil Ofarim. The 34-year-old is officially single.

Christina Luft screams – Mike Singer is exhausted
Mike Singer, 22, and Christina Luft, 32, only got ten points with their salsa in the first “Let’s Dance” competition show. This is clearly not enough for the ambitious professional dancer. Now Luca Hänni’s girlfriend, 27, is pulling the reins. During rehearsals, she really makes Mike Singer sweat.
On the official “Let’s Dance” Instagram account, Christina Luft already announced: “We’re going full throttle, he’s being taken hard, the whip is there and we’re doing everything we can to ensure that doesn’t happen again.” Singer Mike also lets his fans take part in the dance rehearsals. “Are we making progress?” He wants to know from the professional dancer during the preparations. With a wry smile, the 32-year-old gave a thumbs-up before adding, “I’ve lost my voice from screaming!” Meanwhile, Mike struggles with Christina’s harsh manners. “She yells at me all day,” he lets his followers know. The two trained for eight hours straight, as Christina Luft explains on Instagram. Mike Singer “can’t take it anymore, it was just exhausting” is how he sums up the tight schedule. “You took me apart,” sums up the musician. The next issue of “Let’s Dance” on March 4, 2022 will show whether the hard training has an effect.

Amira Pocher: Jury criticism bothers her
Amira Pocher, 29, put a fiery salsa on the floor with Massimo Sinató, 41, in the first “Let’s Dance” show on February 25, 2022. However, she was not as convincing with her performance as in the introductory show. This time, the jury awarded her performance only 14 points. However, she didn’t have to tremble because she got the wild card the week before and thus secured herself from being thrown out. Jorge Gonzáles, 54, saw this dance joker as a reason for Amira Pocher’s weaker performance. “You have to work more. Don’t be lazy just because you’ve had this card. You really have to train.” Oliver Pocher’s wife, 44, then defended herself against this accusation on Instagram.
“I have to say, right from the start, when I was always asked, ‘Are you afraid of criticism?’ etc., I thought to myself: ‘No, that’s always justified and you have to accept that.’ But it still hurts a bit,” she said. In the next sentence, the “Let’s Dance” candidate made it clear that she was struggling specifically with Jorge’s announcement: “Especially when you’re told I’m a lazy sock. I’m not.” Next Friday Amira can do everything better and find her way back to her old form. “I can build on that and will continue to do my best. I’m already looking forward to the next dance,” announced the mother of two children, highly motivated.
