Fresh Take:
Tommy's Secret Fitness Routine for a Spectacular "Wetten, dass..." Finale
Brace yourselves, folks! Millions of viewers gonna be blown away by the fitter-than-ever Tommy on Saturday night. However, it's been quite a while since Thomas Gottschalk (73) last hit such formidable shape for the "Wetten, dass..." (ZDF, 8.15 pm) finale.
Cooking Up a Storm! With the show's anticipation building, Tommy's been sizzling in the kitchen! His culinary prowess has sparked much interest, and for a valid reason.
Just like the year before, Tommy, alongside his partners Karina (62) and Mike Krüger (71) and wife Birgit (68), reunited in Switzerland to gear up.
Said Gottschalk, "I used to drop five kilos before the show. This time we managed three. Guess old age is making us less greedy!"
For the Swiss wellness clinic and balanced treatment, only 850 calories daily were allocated to them. This regime prevented muscle loss.
Krüger: "Mud baths were part of the treatment, and we'd have this massive hose wash us like a fire department followed."
Said Gottschalk, "Plunged into the mud, and on Saturday 'Wetten, dass...' joined me in the pit."
Their beverage of choice was, well, only water and tea...plenty of it! No meat, no sugar, hardly anything solid. Broth was about where it ended. Krüger jokes, "We concocted our own soup and spooned it down together."
Besides, the Swiss escapades are just the tip of the iceberg. The long-time friends even plan to continue their health-kick fiesta post-show finale!
Even from the mud bath to the famous TV couch, Tommy's never one to shy away!
