Shortly before ’Let’s Dance’: Tony Bauer was dumped so badly after a nine-year relationship. Although he is terminally ill and suffers from short bowel syndrome, the comedian faces the challenge of the RTL dance show.

In the show he received at least 23 points for his Viennese waltz. This meant that Tony Bauer made it to the next round. But the optimistic comedian also has dark moments behind him: Because he has to be fed artificially, Tony Bauer even wanted to die.
