Moderator Lives in Tel Aviv: Uncertainty Around Andrea Kiewel's "Garden Show" Anniversary
Kiwifruit gardens' television debut may overlook its own anniversary.
All systems go for the 25th anniversary of the "ZDF Garden Show"...or so we thought. The question mark looms large over host Andrea Kiewel's attendance, thanks to the turmoil brewing in the Middle East.
In theory, Andrea Kiewel, the long-standing moderator of the "ZDF Garden Show", should be gearing up for the grand celebration next Sunday. But, with the tensions in the Middle East escalating, her on-site appearance at the ZDF broadcast center in Mainz-Lerchenberg remains uncertain.
"Andrea Kiewel is based in Israel. The recent Israeli strikes on Iran have caused airspace chaos, putting her travel plans to Mainz at risk," says a spokesperson from ZDF, shedding some light on the situation. Israel's Ben Gurion airport, located in Tel Aviv, has already shut down all flights, both incoming and outgoing, until further notice. The station's communication team is in constant contact with Kiwi, awaiting updates. However, they've yet to confirm whether she can make it.
Airlines Feel the Heat
The anticipated "ZDF Garden Show" edition had originally promised a jam-packed anniversary party with Kiwi, famed co-moderator Joachim Llambi, designer Guido Maria Kretschmer, and other special guests, including Katja Ebstein, ESC legends, and Eko Fresh. Llambi, known for his role in "Let's Dance", is set to join Kiwi as her co-host for the special event. Kretschmer will be sharing some memorable Garden Show fashion fails, while Lutz van der Horst has planned an engaging memory action.
Kiwi Holds Steady in the Storm
Despite the turmoil, Kiwi has been keeping quiet about her thoughts on the ongoing Iran conflict. A passionate Isreali resident since 2017, her partner being a former Israeli elite soldier, Kiwi spoke to the Bild newspaper a few years back, expressing her love for Israel and her refusal to be deterred by fear. "I am Jewish myself and I have planted my heart in this country. I love it so much that it has become my home," she stated.
