The threesome Mike: These trash stars made headlines in 2024

Leyla Lahouar (28) has dominated reality TV like no other this year. Love triangle and second place in the “jungle camp”, acting debut in “Unter uns”, “Celebrity Big Brother” victory – and there was also the media-publicized engagement with her jungle friend Mike Heiter (32)! But other trash TV stars also made some headlines in 2024.

Lucy Diakovska (48) won this year’s season of the “Jungle Camp” – but that has almost faded into the background in view of the turbulent events between her fellow campers Leyla Lahouar, Mike Heiter and Kim Virginia Hartung (29). From the beginning, Kim only had one topic in Australia: her ex-affair Mike. She repeatedly spoke out against him, which led to serious discussions.

The fact that Mike got along remarkably well with Leyla didn’t make the situation any better. The two women attacked each other for all they were worth. In the end, Kim ended up in sixth place, Mike made it to fifth. In the end, Leyla only had to admit defeat to the jungle queen.

But this turbulent start was just the beginning for the three reality stars. Her participation in the “Jungle Camp” opened the doors for Leyla to make her acting debut: She was seen in a guest role as a bitch in the RTL daily “Unter uns”. In October she went into the “Celebrity Big Brother” container – alongside Mike, with whom she has been officially in a relationship since March. There she was actually able to celebrate the victory – and a marriage proposal from her boyfriend.

And Kim? There was no peace for her after her riotous performance in the jungle. Together with her other ex-affair Emanuell Weißenberger (31) she was on “Prominently Separated – The Villa of the Ex-Ones” (RTL+). However, she had to leave the format early after she slapped competitor Max Bornmann. Afterwards she went on to “Beauty and the Nerd” (Prosieben) – there she was at least able to celebrate the victory.

When it comes to riots, ex-“GNTM” candidate Elsa Latifaj, who is only 19 years old, is in no way inferior to Kim Virginia. At the beginning of the year she was seen on “Forsthaus Rampensau” (Joyn) and got into severe stress with Sam Dylan (33), whom she threatened that he would “not come back from Albania.” “Battle of the Reality Stars” (RTLzwei) with Maurice Dziwak (26) continued loudly. Her flirtation with Calvin Kleinen (32) also caused a stir: the two became closer, even though Elsa was taken at the time.

These are just a few of the transgressions for which she should atone in “The Big Celebrity Penance” (Joyn) in November. After her round of shame, Elsa expressed remorse and declared, “I want to work on myself and get my hate under control.” So will 2025 be quieter for you?

Speaking of Maurice: In addition to Elsa, he also had a heated argument with Aleks Petrovic (33) in “Battle of the Reality Stars” – the two were even nominated for “Beef of the Year” for their argument at the “Reality Awards”.

Otherwise, the “Lion”, who is often portrayed as a big child by his fellow candidates and who lived with “Mapsel” and “Papsel” until the summer, still had good news to report: In September he announced that he and his girlfriend Leandra expecting a baby after a few months of dating.

Like every year, “The Summer House of the Stars” (RTL) in 2024 also provided moments that left viewers stunned. The couple Emma Fernlund (24) and Umut Tekin (27) provided a particularly large number of them. Emma repeatedly became aggressive towards her partner. After Sam Dylan accidentally held a knife in his hand during an argument, she accused him of threatening her with it – a mega-scandal!

But Umut didn’t cover himself with fame either. During a nomination, he wanted to attack Gloria Gumac (32) and had to be stopped by an employee.
