The TV duo of Esther Sedlaczek and Bastian Schweinsteiger is extremely popular with fans.
In order to perform at the European Championships, the presenter is taking an unusual step.
Munich – The home European Championship is just around the corner.
In just under three months the time has finally come and Germany is hosting the biggest football event of the year.
In addition to the players, the focus will also be on Esther Sedlaczek.
TV duo Schweinsteiger / Sedlaczek also in action at the European Championships
As with the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the presenter is once again working for ARD.
Sedlaczek will lead through the program alongside expert Bastian Schweinsteiger.
The TV duo is always very popular.
Unexpected compliments, comments about each other's outfits, but also razor-sharp analyzes are part of everyday life for Sedlaczek and Schweinsteiger.
To ensure that this happens again at the European Championships, the ARD reporter is taking an unusual measure: no Instagram during the big event!

Sedlaczek relies on a tried and tested recipe for success
In the podcast “Spielmacher – The EM Talk with Sebastian Hellmann and 360 Media”, the 38-year-old explained that she would delete the social media app again during the EM.
Again?
You read that right.
Sedlaczek already relied on the recipe for success at the World Cup in Qatar.
“I did it consciously so that I wanted to stay out of everything.
From any discussions.
I wanted to avoid reading any hate comments and made a conscious decision to outsource Instagram, so to speak.
“I will do the same at this European Championship,” the moderator explained her decision.

Despite the Instagram break: the account continues to be used
It is primarily the negative news that Sedlaczek does not want to be distracted by.
“Of course, some of the comments and messages go far below the belt.
“I think what people sometimes take out, even in relation to other people, is crazy and unfortunately sometimes very sad,” says the 38-year-old.
However, the almost 240,000 Sedlaczek fans (as of March 7th) do not have to do without new content during the European Championship.
A friend to whom she sends the pictures takes care of the account during her break from Instagram.
This way the reporter can concentrate entirely on her job and ultimately inspire her fans.
Even the international press was enthusiastic about Sedlaczek at the European Championship draw... (
