These are the eight women
At the start of shooting the program, which will be shown on TV (and via TVNow) in spring, VOX announced the eight women and eight men on Thursday (November 19). "Bild am Sonntag" had already mentioned seven names. Ex-soccer player Nadine Angerer (42), model Elena Carrière (24), actress Mimi Fiedler (45), Mirja du Mont (44) and presenter Ulla Kock am Brink (59) are there. Pop singer Stefanie Hertel (41), this year's "Let's Dance" winner Lili Paul-Roncalli (22) and writer Nicole Staudinger (38) also take part.
"I'm pretty scared because I have to get naked and I like to postpone prevention, but that's over now: So that people don't leave the huge gap that affected friends and relatives have left in my life through the disease," says Ulla Kock am Brink about her participation. At 59, she is the oldest candidate.
For the former professional soccer player Nadine Angerer, the show has a personal connection, as she says: "I love to get naked because I am grateful that my mother and my aunt are still alive because they went to cancer screening in time!"
These are the eight men
Former professional soccer player Marco Russ (35) had to experience firsthand, "what it is like to deal with cancer overnight. My message is to show how important it is as a man to take preventive measures early. Fear to take before and to take so much time for your own body. " The former Eintracht Frankfurt captain was diagnosed with testicular cancer in the spring of 2016 and had to undergo two chemotherapies. In autumn 2016, the news followed that he was healthy again. He ended his professional career at the end of the 2020 season.
Actor and entrepreneur Jimi Blue Ochsenknecht (28) also has a personal connection to the topic of cancer: "I'm there because I lost an acquaintance to prostate cancer and preventive care is very, very important for young men too, and cancer is shit!" Ex- "Lindenstrasse" star Thorsten Nindel (55) also pulls blank like author and comedian Bastian Bielendorfer (36), ex-gymnast Philipp Boy (33), comedian Faisal Kawusi (29), ex-handball player Uli Roth (58) as well Moderator Jochen Schropp (41).
