Paulien Cornelisse Appears in 'De Slimste Mens' Wearing a Blue Beanie: 'I Absolutely Did Not Want a Wig'
Presenter Herman van der Zandt addressed jury member Paulien Cornelisse's blue beanie at the start of the new season of De slimste mens, noting her changed appearance. Cornelisse revealed she is undergoing chemotherapy for cancer diagnosed in August 2024, which caused hair loss and led to her declining a wig. She expressed joy at returning to the show as Maarten van Rossem's successor, despite fluctuating health due to heavy medication. A KRO-NCRV spokesperson confirmed that while she remains under treatment, she is doing well. The third series features contestants Kefah Allush, Nienke van Dijk, and Wina Ricardo competing against each other.
