Stefan Raab, the provocative German television personality, has once again captured attention with his humorous critique of the popular dance show "Let's Dance". During his visit to the show's backstage area for his own program, "Du gewinnst hier nicht die Million", he didn't hold back when it came to making fun of dancers, producers, and even the hosts of the show.
Raab's sharp wit particularly targeted the professional dancer Ekaterina Leonova, who has been the subject of controversy due to rumors surrounding her personal life. While interacting with the young dancer Diego Pooth, Raab jokingly asked, "Macht sich Ekat auch an dich ran? Die macht sich sonst immer an die Prominenten ran, mit denen sie tanzt, und dann sind die ein halbes Jahr zusammen, bis der nächste kommt." This playful jab referenced the ongoing speculations about Leonova's dating history, but fans of the show are well aware that she is currently in a committed relationship with Ilya Viarmenich, as revealed on Valentine's Day.
Despite the pointed remarks aimed at her love life, Leonova took Raab's jokes in stride, showcasing her good-natured humor. In fact, during their exchange, she responded coolly, rolling her eyes at Raab's teasing about her penchant for dating prominent partners, suggesting that she "is always in the tabloids" for her relationships.
No stranger to controversy, Stefan Raab is known for his witty commentary and willingness to push boundaries in entertainment. His playful teasing extended beyond Leonova as he also ribbed other personalities. For instance, he couldn't resist poking fun at host Daniel Hartwich's casual attire and suggested that he preferred to dance with someone more skilled than his other host, Victoria Swarovski, humorously commenting on her dance ability despite her historical win on the show.
In a delightful surprise for live audiences, Raab also joined in the dancing himself during a show on March 14, where he performed a Discofox with professional dancer Patricija Ionel. This spontaneous moment was not just entertaining; it prompted a challenging encounter for Leonova. Upon running into Raab backstage while preparing, she recounts, "Ich saß gerade in der Maske, als er plötzlich reinkam und meinte, wir müssen sofort tanzen." Thus, Raab dragged her into a spontaneous Rumba session, leaving Leonova with neck pains from his vigorous dancing style. "Nach diesen Stefan-Raab-Moves brauchte ich den Physiotherapeuten! Mein Nacken hat das richtig gespürt," she laughed, acknowledging the physical toll the encounter took on her.
As the buzz surrounding Raab's antics continues, viewers can expect more insights into his humorous takes on various celebrities each week. He is a regular fixture on RTL's programming, with "Du gewinnst hier nicht die Million" airing every Wednesday night at 20:15, and fans of "Let's Dance" can tune in Fridays at the same time for new episodes.
