Elton (53) will no longer be in front of the camera for the Saturday evening format in the future. His ProSieben colleague Matthias Opdenhövel takes over.

“I’m really speechless, angry, but above all extremely sad,” complains the 53-year-old. Elton also expresses the suspicion that he was sorted out because he is now also increasingly working for his main competitor RTL (he moderates “Embarrass or Cash in” there). The TV star can now also be seen more often on RTL. The broadcaster does not explain why the upheaval occurs and Elton is no longer involved. There is no official statement about Elton’s departure from “Schlag den Star” “The Masked Singer” presenter is looking forward to “prominent pairings and crazy games” The broadcaster takes the opportunity to thank Elton for the great entertainment that you have given them over the past decades.
