Jungle camp: Lucy Diakovska is the new “IBES” jungle queen

On January 19, RTL sent twelve more or less well-known celebrities to the Australian bush. For 17 days there was fighting, crying, even hugging and especially blasphemy. But only three of this year’s candidates made it to the final: Lucy Diakovska, Twenty4Tim and Leyla Lahouar.

The three finalists couldn’t be more different: Lucy, who started her career almost 25 years ago as an angel with the No Angels, Twenty4Tim, who wasn’t even born when Lucy became a star, but is now one of the most successful internet companies in the world. Germany are stars, and Leyla Lahouar, probably the most unknown candidate of this year’s season and who had her heart broken shortly before the final.

As always, only one person can win. Also celebrating the twentieth anniversary of “I’m a Star – Get Me Out of Here!” RTL made no exception and awarded the crown and scepter to just one celebrity on Sunday evening: Lucy Diakovska. The singer received the most calls and was crowned jungle queen in the grand finale.

The 47-year-old is the ninth woman to the throne and replaces Djamila Rowe, the 2023 winner, as queen. Their victory is not surprising. She was the only candidate who was not assigned a “maybe” by Sonja Zietlow and Jan Köppen during the 17th season. Although you cannot rely on the sentence ‘Maybe it is you’, according to research by t-online.

But t-online readers always saw Lucy Diakovska in her place. This is the result of a daily survey. Leyla Lahouar, on the other hand, often finished in last place, but ultimately made it to the final. Twenty4Tim largely ended up in the middle bracket in the t-online surveys. The anniversary season now ends with the coronation of Queen Lucy Diakovska.

17 days full of drama, arguments and a difficult love triangle are behind us. Some candidates are unmemorable. Cora Schumacher, for example, left the camp after just three days. But even in such a short time, the 47-year-old has revealed a lot of juicy details – about her ex-husband and her ex-lover.

Heinz Hoenig had to leave early. Because Dr. Bob was concerned about the 72-year-old and his health, so he sent the actor home. The “Das Boot” star was not enthusiastic about it at all. But the movie legend didn’t really perform in camp. Because Heinz Hoenig was excluded from almost all exams.

Sarah Kern and David Odonkor were also unconvincing. Felix von Jascheroff also failed to inspire the audience. He is the first GZSZ actor who did not make it to the final. Anya Elsner, who had wanted to have sex with David, didn’t expect the big shock until after camp. Her father had caused a racism scandal with questionable statements while she was in the jungle.

However, Kim Virginia, Mike Heiter and Leyla Lahouar received the most airtime. The confusion of love dominated this year’s season. Initially, viewers hoped that Kim Virginia and Mike would give their affair another chance and give RTL the first sex in the jungle camp.

Then everything changed – and Mike took a liking to Leyla. She was very excited about the tattooed reality star. But this flirt was also short-lived. He ended the jungle romance a day before the finale. The hygiene standards are too low, the inhibition threshold too high.

Now the jungle camp is over and a new queen has been chosen. However, fans can breathe a sigh of relief. On the occasion of its twentieth anniversary, RTL is giving viewers another season this year. A spin-off will be filmed in South Africa this summer. However, no further details are known about this yet.
