Johannes B. Kerner is actually an absolute professional. But while he’s standing in front of the camera alongside Andrea Kiewel for “Welcome 2025”, a little faux pas happens to him – of all things in an interview with Sarah Engels.

Small faux pas in the interview: Johannes B. Kerner (60) bites his tongue live. In the ZDF New Year’s Eve show “Welcome 2025” there is an unexpected incident that scares even the experienced presenter Johannes B. Kerner.

Johannes B. Kerner and Andrea Kiewel interview Sarah Engels

In a conversation with singer and DSDS icon Sarah Engels (32), he suddenly bites his tongue and visibly winces, as derwesten.de first reported. In front of an audience of millions on ZDF, this moment causes excitement. Did Kerner spill the beans?

At first the conversation between Andrea Kiewel (59), Johannes B. Kerner and Sarah Engels is very relaxed. Engels says that she traditionally watches the ZDF New Year’s Eve show every year and that it has always been her dream to stand on this stage in front of the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin. “It’s unbelievable” that her wish came true this year. “TV Garden” presenter Kiwi responds with a compliment: “You did a great job, with a lot of power!” Then Sarah Engels talks about her plans for 2025. Pietro Lombardi’s ex-wife admits that she has “a lot of them”.

Welcome 2025: Johannes B. Kerner’s embarrassing mistake in a conversation with Sarah Engels

On the one hand she is working on her foundation and on the other hand on her next album. “It will be finished next year, I promise!” Otherwise, “there are always so many things that we’re not allowed to talk about yet.” Kerner suddenly interrupts her: “And I have ‘Holiday on Ice’ somewhere…” But before he can continue, he abruptly stops the sentence and bites his tongue. Oh dear!

Kerner looks at Sarah Engels in horror and takes a small step back. Did the 60-year-old spill the beans here? But Sarah Engels immediately gives the all-clear: “That’s right! But I can say that.” Relief for Kerner! However, this little mistake did not dampen the mood at the Brandenburg Gate and “Welcome 2025” was able to continue without further incident.
