Florian Silbereisen is one of the guests at the ESC preliminary round in Berlin.
But the pop star almost didn't come - he's in a lot of pain.
Berlin – February 16th is the day of the decision: the German entry for the Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö will be selected from nine acts.
The winner will be determined during a large live broadcast from Berlin.
In addition to presenter Barbara Schöneberger (49), some famous guests are also on site and support the artists.
Florian Silbereisen (42) is also there - but he's not feeling well at all.
Arrived in pain: Florian Silbereisen traveled to the ESC preliminary round despite dental surgery
Max Mutzke (42) and Marie Reim (23) are among the contenders for the ticket to the final in Sweden.
While the pop star chose a German song, Max Muzke decided to compete in the ESC preliminary round with an English title.
Whether one of the two can win only becomes clear at the end.
Florian Silbereisen can see for himself the talent of both of them on site – as long as he can concentrate.
Right at the beginning he admits to the presenter that he actually belongs in bed sick and has taken some painkillers.
“I had dental surgery the day before yesterday,” he says on the couch, emphasizing that the affected area hurts quite a bit.
His dentist actually assured him that he could “easily go to the ESC”.
What is important for the course of the evening: The entertainer should actually avoid laughing.
But exactly this plan goes wrong after just a few minutes - because Barbara Schöneberger is, as usual, in the mood to joke.
Barbara Schöneberger is also stricken: Nevertheless, she has a get-well gift for Florian Silbereisen
Because she needs the musician's “full strength,” Barbara Schöneberger has a little surprise for Florian Silbereisen.
She made him a cooling bag out of the material of her dress that he kept pressing against his swollen tooth.
The 42-year-old acknowledges the gesture with a hug, but points out that Barbara Schöneberger is not completely fit either.

What happened?
“A seal fell out yesterday,” says the TV celebrity.
However, she makes it clear straight away: “Eating gummy bears – it’s not that bad.” The moderation is therefore not a problem.
In addition to Florian Silbereisen, other guests will be there live.
