Joachim Llambi Says Mother Sends WhatsApp Critiques During Live Let's Dance Shows

He portrayed the messages as affectionate oversight that gives personal context to his blunt on‑air persona.

Overview

  • Llambi disclosed on the MayWay podcast this week, reported June 3–4, that his mother Ingrid routinely sends short WhatsApp messages during live Let's Dance broadcasts criticizing his remarks.
  • He quoted examples of her feedback such as "Das hättest du jetzt anders sagen sollen" and said he takes the messages with humor rather than offense.
  • Llambi told the podcast that he will not change his long-standing, blunt judging style because of his mother's comments and that she knows him well.
  • In the same interview he recalled family history that shaped their bond, saying his father Narciso suffered a brain tumor in 1975, survived a risky operation, and that his mother carried most of the care burden.
  • The disclosures, carried by multiple German entertainment outlets, humanize the 61-year-old juror and add private context to his public reputation built over many seasons on RTL's Let's Dance.
