Natascha Ochsenknecht reacts to criticism after “blow the star”

15 games over around six hours: Natascha (61) and Wilson Gonzalez Ochsenknecht (35) as well as Verona (57) and Diego Pooth (21) on Saturday evening in the live show “Schlag den Star” on ProSieben delivered a nerve-wracking duel, which pursued a total of 4.28 million people. After numerous leadership changes, the Ochsenknechts were finally determined at 1.52 a.m. The fact that the final game had to be replaced by Natascha due to health problems caused some discussions on social networks. The 61 -year -old reacted on Sunday afternoon – and opponent Verona Pooth also spoke up again.

“Of course I stated everything,” said Natascha Ochsenknecht after the criticism that she informed the production in advance about her condition. “Health always proceeds, I don’t play with that.” The course was already a narrow ridge. The intended final game “hold”, in which the couples should keep a pipe with the outstretched feet as long as possible, was then not feasible for them. “What the production chooses, I can’t do anything about that.” Her daughter Cheyenne (25) also paid her respect, “that she pulled through this way with her stomach and her health history, and at 61.”

According to Ochsenknecht, Verona and Diego Pooth had agreed to the show with a substitute game. At “catch the hat” it was then necessary to turn a hat alternately, which the other team member had to catch on his head safely without touching it with his hands. After a few rounds, Diego Pooth missed the hat, so that the ox gnechts won the last game and thus the show with 71:49. They received the prize money of 100,000 euros.

While Diego Pooth immediately agreed to a substitute game, his mother briefly hesitated. In a press release, she later quoted ProSieben with the words: “It was very nerve -wracking. Of course we gave everything and also had a good chance, but sometimes the little bit of luck is missing. And in the end it was also incredibly exciting and in the end you didn’t know who you are. And you’re not catching our strength now, but what should you do?”

She and the ox servants gave everything. “And of course they also deserve victory. I also know that Natascha had a difficult operation, so a game with abdominal muscles would have been difficult. But of course it got me out of the frame, but that’s also ‘blow the star’. So you deservedly won!” She found everything fairly-“Only the only thing that bothered me was the music game at the end, because Wilson is a music producer and I thought that this was a bit blatant.”

Her son Diego Pooth also showed herself as a fair loser on Sunday. “That’s how it is in life, you can’t win everything, that’s perfectly fine. The ox servants deservedly won, they bravely fought and accelerated.” It was a cool show that was a lot of fun. The “Let’s Dance” winner also has the next goal: he still flies to Dubai in the evening to visit his younger brother Rocco (14) in the new adopted home of his family. “Can’t wait to finally see him again.” Diego also announced special plans. He will do an internship at a real estate financier in Dubai.
