Overview

• Multiple outlets cite Bild in reporting that Serkan Yavuz and Eva Benetatou are on a candidate list for the 2026 season of Ich bin ein Star – Holt mich hier raus.
• Promiflash quotes an unnamed source claiming Benetatou’s participation is “100 percent sure” and that she dropped a planned appearance on Prominent getrennt for the alleged deal, a claim that remains unverified.
• The pair were at the center of a widely discussed affair that Benetatou made public earlier this year while Yavuz was married to Samira Yavuz, a backdrop outlets say could fuel on‑screen tension.
• Social‑media responses highlighted by tabloid coverage show divided reactions, including criticism of platforming Yavuz and concern about potential fallout for his family.
• Bild-linked reports also float Calvin Kleinen and previously Gil Ofarim as possible names, with Kleinen’s management issuing a non‑committal statement as RTL reiterates it will not engage in speculation.
