Few would have thought that: In the evening, Prime Minister Markus Söder's name fell in the RTL jungle camp.

The reason was another Franconian.

Munich – The jungle camp is in full swing.

For the celebrities in the South African jungle, Wednesday (January 26) was day six.

And team boss Peter Althof, who was born in Nuremberg, had to solve a conflict right away.

RTL jungle camp: Franke Peter Althof is team boss

When the stars discuss who sits by the fire and keeps watch at night, Anouschka Renzi interjects that she only wants to do the first or last shift.

The shifts in between are not feasible for the actress because she suffers from insomnia and otherwise would not sleep at all.

Team boss Althof gives his okay: "I accept it," said the bodyguard.

Söder joke by Daniel Hartwich in the RTL jungle camp: "A Franconian in the highest office!"

One of the moderators also commented on the discussion: "That was perfect crisis management from team boss Peter," said Daniel Hartwich.

"A Franconian in the highest office! And in the Munich State Chancellery you can hear Markus Söder crying very quietly," he jokes.

Few would have thought that the name of the CSU boss would fall in the RTL jungle camp.

In the run-up to the federal election, Söder had declared his willingness to run for chancellor, but in the end the Union decided on the then Prime Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia, Armin Laschet.

The former CDU leader then lost to SPD candidate Olaf Scholz.
