Pietro Lombardi’s Cryptic Tease Ends With Podcast Role as Sarah Engels Confirms ESC Bid

His midnight build-up led to a co-hosting spot on Oliver Pocher’s show, not the TV return or relocation fans had guessed.

Overview

  • Lombardi told followers at midnight on Jan. 15 that “something will happen,” framed it as the start of a “journey” lasting “firstly three months,” and said his heart would decide.
  • GALA reports he will co-moderate Oliver Pocher’s podcast “Die Pochers! Frisch recycelt,” following Alessandra Meyer-Wölden’s exit.
  • Pocher said stopping the weekly show was not an option, introduced Lombardi as his “absolute favorite housemate,” and highlighted their close friendship.
  • Separately, Engels has confirmed she will perform at Germany’s ESC preselection on Feb. 28 after earlier speculation.
  • Prior guesses about Lombardi’s tease—such as a juror comeback, new music, or a move to Switzerland—remain unconfirmed beyond the podcast announcement.
