Detlef Soost and Ekaterina Leonova made it to the finals of “Let’s Dance”. The two have been close friends ever since.
Ekaterina Leonova (37) addresses touching words online to her former “Let’s Dance” dance partner Detlef Soost (54). The choreographer celebrates his 54th birthday on July 2nd. “A wonderful person has his birthday today… Yes, my little one,” she writes on Instagram alongside photos of them together.
Detlef Soost is her “little one”
Soost was given the nickname “My Little One” by Ekat Leonova during the show because “I know that behind the strong, self-confident and tall man there is a very sensitive, loving and vulnerable boy.” The fitness trainer carries a lot of love within him and gives “everyone a lot of attention, understanding and support.”
For his birthday, she wishes Soost, who became known in 2001 as a jury member on the casting show “Popstars,” “only the best things in life.” “Health, lots of time with your loved ones and simply wonderful things that you would love to experience.”
“Let’s Dance” brought them together
In the 17th season of “Let’s Dance” Ekaterina Leonova and Detlef Soost made it to the final in the spring and took third place. This time has clearly bonded them closely. “We laughed, we cried, we were devastated and we celebrated… and we won! No, we didn’t win the ‘Let’s Dance’ trophy, we won our friendship,” the professional dancer emphasizes. That is “the greatest victory.” She signs off her birthday greetings with “Your kitten.”
During the show, Ekaterina Leonova and Detlef Soost had repeatedly shown how well they get on. They even flew to Turkey with his wife Kate Hall (41) and their children so that they could rehearse during the family vacation. In the final, they were defeated by presenter Jana Wosnitza (30) with professional dancer Vadim Garbuzov (37) and musician Gabriel Kelly (22) with Malika Dzumaev (33).
