First “Let’s Dance” winner in 2006: Yvonne Catterfeld stood by her friend Wayne Carpendale
When “Let’s Dance” first flickered across German television screens on April 3, 2006 at 9:15 p.m., the show immediately set the previous viewership record. A total of 7.12 million people tuned in to see celebrities twirl around the dance floor with professionals. It quickly became clear: Wayne Carpendale, 46, is considered the favorite.
The then 29-year-old actor and son of pop star Howard Carpendale, 78, was not only cheered on by his famous father from the audience. His former girlfriend Yvonne Catterfeld, 44, also appeared in the studio several times – including on the final day on May 21, 2006. Wayne and his dance partner Isabel Edvardsson, 41, were able to prevail against actress Wolke Hegenbarth, 43, and Oliver Seefeldt, 54 .
