Anna-Carina Woitschack is set to make waves as she joins the cast of the highly anticipated Dschungelcamp 2025, also known as Ich bin ein Star – Holt mich hier raus! Scheduled to kick off on January 24, this season promises not only the usual trials of life under the Australian sun but also the weight of personal drama as the Schlagersängerin navigates her recent split from fellow star Stefan Mross.
Fulfilled by determination and experience, Woitschack is no stranger to the public eye. Born on October 28, 1992, in Helmstedt, Niedersachsen, she dived headfirst onto the reality television stage at the age of 19, placing eighth on the eighth season of DSDS (Deutschland sucht den Superstar). This early exposure launched her successful singing career, which has since led to the release of eight studio albums and numerous hits, including her top-charting album released just last year, titled Meine Zeit.
Her road to fame, though, has not been without its bumps. Initially raised by puppeteer parents, Anna-Carina spent her formative years living out of a caravan, attending more than 400 different schools due to her family's nomadic lifestyle. "Da meine Eltern Schausteller sind, habe ich nahezu jede Woche in einer anderen Stadt verbracht," she shared, hinting at the unique inspirations behind her creative pursuit.
Joining the Dschungelcamp, Woitschack aims to challenge herself and prove her resilience. "Ich LIEBE Herausforderungen und Abenteuer [...] und genau deshalb bin ich dabei," she expressed, making it clear she intends to embrace the experience fully. What's more, she aspires to be the first female Schlager singer to claim the coveted Dschungelkrone, showcasing her determination to shine even amid challenges.
For personal colors, her relationship history cannot be glossed over. After years of being married to Stefan Mross—a relationship built within the limelight, culminating with their televised wedding—Woitschack's personal life has often overshadowed her career. The couple, who wed live on-air during Florian Silbereisen's show Schlagerlovestory.2020, announced their split at the end of 2022, with persistent tensions causing their divorce proceedings to drag on.
Even during her time at the camp, the specter of Mross looms large. Upon her arrival, she stated she wouldn't be using the opportunity to air her dirty laundry, but made it clear she wouldn't shy away from discussing their past. "Es reicht schon, dass er immer was sagt," she remarked, hinting at Mross's frequent commentary after their breakup.
Woitschack wasn't shy about offering the first jibes about her ex even on day one of the camp. When fellow contestant Sam Dylan jokingly suggested Mross might appear unexpectedly to host the show during their time, Anna-Carina quipped, "Wer weiß, der spielt dann das Trompetenintro," referring to Mross's reputation as a talented trumpet player.
Through all of this, she is not just focusing on drama. Anna-Carina is aware of how her choices impact her image among the fans and the audience at large. Thoughts of past influences weigh every bit as heavy as the physical challenges awaiting her among the camp's critters and hunger pangs. "Mein größter Angstgegner ist der Hunger," she admitted, recognizing her love for food as part of her core temperament.
An interesting twist to her participation is the financial aspect as well; reports state she earns around 220,000 euros for her appearance—a tidy sum indicating the strong public interest surrounding her, albeit also sparking speculation about whether she might spill intimate details about her tumultuous past.
Through her candid personality and eagerness for challenge, Anna-Carina Woitschack is bound to provoke discussion during the Dschungelcamp, not just about her experiences within but about her life outside the camp too. She intends to show depth as she states emphatically, "Für mich ist gerade genau die richtige Zeit, um all das zu machen, worauf ich Lust habe." Will her determination earn her the Dschungelkrone, or will the drama of her past overshadow her achievements?
Fans and critics alike are eagerly awaiting to see how this chapter of her life will play out. With all eyes on her, the stage is set for Anna-Carina Woitschack to deliver what promises to be one of the most entertaining and heartfelt Dschungelcamp seasons yet.
