Before the flight to the jungle camp: Timur Ülker fails at waxing

“GZSZ” star Timur Ülker (35) started the journey to the jungle camp on Saturday (January 18th). However, a waxing procedure before departure turned out to be a mistake. In photos of the actor from Frankfurt Airport, you can see isolated, still hairy areas on the actor’s upper body. The reason for the breakdown was not time pressure, but rather a lack of cold wax strips. He revealed this “at the airport.

According to the broadcaster, he and his fiancée Caroline Steinhof only realized during the waxing that the strips were not enough. “Then we somehow pragmatically tried to wax away the areas that were prominent,” he said. However, he was able to laugh about the failed hair removal attempt. He looked like a “plucked chicken,” he reported with amusement. The actor wanted to have a smooth chest for the jungle camp because of the wildlife. He would have been afraid that animals would get caught in his chest hair or even breed.

He documented the waxing process in a , in which he first removed the wax strips himself. According to an image, 30 minutes before his departure he began to remove his hair. Ülker repeatedly screams in pain in the video as Steinhof suddenly tears off the strips. “Ah, I can’t do that,” he explains to his partner. “Go, go, go,” she urges him on. During the waxing, she also assures him that they have enough wax strips. “By the way, waxing strips weren’t enough,” he captioned the reel afterwards.

Ülker is not the only “IBES” participant who has already left for Australia. Edith Stehfest (29), Alessia Herren (23) and Maurice Dziwak (26) have also already set off. Sam Dylan (33), Nina Bott (47) and Jürgen Hingsen (66) also got on the plane.
