Katja Ritsin: “When the new VTM boss told me: ‘I’m not going to continue with you,’ I thought: ‘Do I sound too stopped? “

Katya Ritsin was not fired from VRT, but her career did not end the way she wanted. “This was hard for so long, I didn’t think it was fair,” she tells Day All. She couldn’t stay with VTM either. “I was 41 and I thought, ‘I have so much experience now, can I handle everything they throw at me and then kick me out?'” Do I look too stumped? I am glad that the production company De Buren has caught up with me.” With this, Retsin makes the program “Relax”, which can be seen on four regional channels. “Presenting is still my passion. And I can do that.”

The anchor has been self-employed since leaving national television. “However, I hope that women between the ages of 50 and 60 will be allowed to appear on national television one day.” Although now Retsin has another passion: acting. At the age of 50, she began acting training, and the premiere of the “Calendar Girls” theater is scheduled for this month. In it, she plays one of the housewives who strips for naked asses. Anne van den Broeck and Sandrine Andre are also on stage.
