TVS News AI, editorially supervised, presents "Sommerhaus der Stars": Julian F. M. Stoeckel talks about "historic fee".

His fans have been waiting a long time – now it's official: Julian F. M. Stoeckel is moving into the next round of the RTL format "Sommerhaus der Stars." The 36-year-old is taking part in the 11th season and traveling there together with his partner Marcell Damaschke into the shared house. Even before moving in, Stoeckel makes clear why he said yes this time – and comes with a surprising reason.

Anyone who knows Stoeckel knows: reality TV is hardly new territory for him. What's all the more exciting is that he of all people – despite numerous invitations in the past – had repeatedly turned them down. Now he's breaking his silence and offering a behind-the-scenes glimpse that will make fans sit up and take notice.

Stoeckel on his Sommerhaus fee: "This time the fee was right!"

As OK! Magazine reports, Stoeckel speaks openly about the terms of his participation. His reason for saying yes is clear: "This time the fee was right!" The influencer and TV star himself speaks of a "historic fee" – an indication that the production apparently dug deep into its pockets to win him over for the upcoming season.

Warning, spoiler: The publication is considered a reveal before the broadcast of the new episodes. Viewers can therefore find out before the air date which cast they can expect.

Who is Marcell Damaschke?

By Stoeckel's side is Marcell Damaschke, who accompanies him into the Sommerhaus as his partner. The couple is thus among the candidates who will meet in season 11. The available source does not provide details on the other couples or the start date – Stoeckel's acceptance is the first concrete signal from the new cast.

Why the long wait?

Anyone who follows Stoeckel in the German reality world knows: he has likely received plenty of invitations to the Sommerhaus over the past years. The fact that he is now saying yes – of all things for the eleventh season – suggests that the behind-the-scenes negotiations suited him this time. How much exactly lies behind the "historic fee" remains open for now.
