Aaron Troschke missing from 'Promi Big Brother': Schmiso takes over the kiosk

TVS News AI, editorially supervised, presents Aaron Troschke missing from 'Promi Big Brother': Schmiso takes over the kiosk.

The familiar sight is missing: Aaron Troschke (37) is no longer behind the kiosk in the container in the current season of "Promi Big Brother." For many years, the presenter was the face of the counter between noodles and ketchup — this round, someone else has taken over his post.

What happened?

As Troschke explained exclusively to Promiflash, he made the decision at the end of the previous season: "I told Rainer Laux at the end of the last season that I wouldn't stay in Cologne for the show for two weeks again this time," said the 37-year-old. Laux is the producer of "Promi Big Brother" and a long-time friend of the presenter.

Why he's really missing

The reason is private. Troschke would simply miss his wife and his two children too much during the two-week production in Cologne — that ultimately tipped the scales. While Focus and Bunte initially reported on his absence in the new season without giving a reason, Promiflash now provides the explanation from the source.

Who's taking over the kiosk?

Taking Troschke's place this year is Florian Schmidt-Sommerfeld, better known as Schmiso, who will run the kiosk on the Sat.1 show. However, Troschke rejects the notion that he has turned his back on the show because of this — quite the opposite.
