Gabriel Kelly is keeping a big secret – which his mother in particular is not allowed to find out about
There’s a very special edition of “Let’s Dance” coming up this Friday. In the evening the stars and professionals dance the so-called “Magic Moments”. As always, these are special highlights because the candidates reveal a lot of their history and inner life. For Gabriel Kelly, 22, the choice of song becomes something special – and holds a surprise for his mother Kira Harms Kelly. So that she doesn’t find out what it’s about, he called on his fans and friends via Instagram to keep the secret and not tell his mother anything. What is it about? For his dance he chose the song “Let Go”, which he wrote together with his mother.
Luckily, as he explains, his mother doesn’t have social media – so hopefully the chances are good that he can surprise her with his choice of song and his “magic moment”.

Will we see comedian Felix Lobrecht on the dance floor soon?
People from a wide variety of areas have always gathered on the dance floor of “Let’s Dance”: representatives from sports, show business and politics. This always includes comedians – soon also Felix Lobrecht, 35? In a talk with video creator and TikTok star Tahsim Durgun, 28, he initially asked him about taking part in the “Jungle Camp”. The question “Do you see yourself in the jungle camp?” the 35-year-old can say no. But that doesn’t mean all possible shows have been covered. There hasn’t been an official request yet anyway. “But they try it again every year with ‘Let’s Dance’,” reveals Lobrecht with a grin. “I can well imagine that with you. (…) Motsi Mabuse would be a fan of yours,” Durgun then states. But how does Felix Lobrecht himself see it? He tends to wave it off, but at that moment the harsh rejection only applies to the “jungle camp”. But the fact that he’s had the offer from “Let’s Dance” on the table several times and has never accepted it probably speaks volumes.
Jana Wosnitza is amused by dance partners: “The person came without pants”
Yes, even on Labor Day our “Let’s Dance” professionals and stars have to take part in training. And so presenter Jana Wosnitza, 30, takes her Instagram fans with her on this day and shows them what her everyday training routine looks like. She tells us about a funny incident that happened that morning. Because before the training could start, she and dance partner Vadim Garbuzov, 36, had to return to the hotel. Why? “The person came without pants,” says Wosnitza, laughing.
After the viewer briefly wonders how something like this is even possible, Vadim quickly explains the situation. He just forgot his dance pants and instead only wore his interview pants. So he didn’t come bottomless as one might expect. They both seem to take the fact that they lost a little time as a result with humor. After all, a good story always came out of it.

Gabriel Kelly tearfully says goodbye to Ann-Kathrin Bendixen
Gabriel Kelly, 22, and Ann-Kathrin Bendixen, 24, are not just the chicks on “Let’s Dance” – they also have a deep friendship right from the start. It’s all too understandable that the musician finds it difficult to say goodbye to his “monkey” when the influencer “Monkey on Bike” has to end her journey on “Let’s Dance” on Friday. After the show ended, the two of them lay in each other’s arms crying and letting their emotions run wild. In an interview with RTL, Gabriel Kelly is next to the dancing couple Ann-Kathrin Bendixen and Valentin Lusin, 37. Together they are annoyed about being eliminated so shortly before the show in which Bendixen would have danced her “Magic Moment”. “I wish you had so much,” Kelly says, visibly upset.
Valentin Lusin then correctly states: “It is still so much more valuable. What has just been created here,” alluding to the close friendship between the two participants. Both can only nod in agreement. In any case, their friendship continues after the show. Kelly reports that he and the enthusiastic motorcyclist have already planned an adventure to India. Bendixen reiterates this intention on Instagram. While she is telling her followers her next travel plans, she writes in a post: “After the final, me and Gabriel Kelly are going to India.”
And until then, she will definitely keep her fingers crossed for her boyfriend.
Ann-Kathrin Bendixen would have been ashamed if she had progressed further
After Ann-Kathrin Bendixen, 24, had to leave the field in the last “Let’s Dance” show, the influencer went to Flensburg and is enjoying her free time there. She reveals in her Instagram story that she wants to go camping with friends and build a campfire. But the dance show isn’t completely written off for the 24-year-old: she’ll try to sit in the audience next Friday, May 3rd, to cheer on the remaining candidates
While she tells her followers this, she emphasizes again that it was right to vote her out. She thinks back to the moment when she stood at the front with her dance partner Valentin Lusin, 37, as well as Detlef Soost, 53, and Ekaterina Leonova, 37. In these seconds the dancing couples had to worry about getting ahead. “I would have been ashamed to move forward,” says Ann-Kathrin now and adds: “That’s why it’s exactly right the way it is.”

Ann-Kathrin Bendixen draws an honest conclusion after “Let’s Dance” ends! “I’ll only cry to a certain extent afterwards”
On Friday evening the time had come: Ann-Kathrin Bendixen, 24, had to leave “Let’s Dance”. Together, she and dance partner Valentin Lusin, 37, couldn’t bring their samba to the dance floor convincingly enough. In the end, 15 points from the jury were not enough. Immediately after the show, the influencer, who became known online as “Monkey on Bike,” announced that this was “absolutely justified.” Now she draws a detailed, honest conclusion in an Instagram post. Because although she mentions all the positive things that came with her participation in “Let’s Dance”, she also openly gives insight into her inner life and that not everything was perfect for her.
“I almost felt a little trapped. Trapped in a golden, beautiful cage,” she says, describing the paradox the show presented for her. Because she might even miss the contents of this box a little. But she is drawn back to nature, to freedom. “I won’t cry for the glamor world with its high heels, the spotlight and the make-up,” she reveals. In contrast to “dancing with my friends” as well as the “people from the mask, the outfits, the production, my little team, the society”.
Ultimately, Ann-Kathrin Bendixen is above all grateful. She sums up the collaboration with her dance partner in loving words: “Valentin, a kind-hearted person. The training couldn’t have been funnier or nicer. I’ll miss laughing together! And that’s exactly why it certainly won’t be our last project Thank you Valentin Lusin for your time, patience and all the humor. I just wish you and Renata Lusin the well-deserved time together. What an honor it was for me to get to know your family and experience everything up close. To be part of it all for a few moments, to see you full of happiness and pride at training, all the pictures of the little ones and your daddy smile, I wish you only the best.”
