Hürth (AP) - The beds in the jungle are filling up: with the reality TV candidate jungle show and the “pompous” fashion designer Harald Glööckler, two other candidates for the RTL jungle camp 2022 have been confirmed.

Pavlovic, who had hitherto mainly worked in dating formats such as “The Bachelorette”, secured the ticket to Australia with hard work by winning the RTL “Jungle Show” - the replacement format for the regular camp - on Saturday night .

Glööckler, however, calmly announced his participation as a studio guest.

However, he confessed: "Actually, I already have my pants full when I think about it."

According to the plan, both should take on cockroaches, spiders and snakes in the coming year.

And with Lucas Cordalis, son of the very first jungle king Costa Cordalis, who announced his participation a few days ago.

More names are likely to follow.

This year the traditional jungle camp was canceled due to the corona pandemic.

Instead there was the “jungle show” from the not very “primeval forest” Hürth near Cologne.

RTL had promised the winner a place in Australia.

Or as moderator Daniel Hartwich put it: "It's like vaccines: the best from Germany goes abroad first."

Most of the audience votes were secured in the end by Pavlovic, who had already collected a lot of sympathy points with his brash manner ("Digga ?!").

The ennoblement took place in the final by jungle doctor Dr.

Bob, who praised Filip as a "gentleman".

Another factor: With narrowed eyes you could think of him with his blonde, raspy hair for the only real A-celebrity in the candidate field - he looked a little like US rapper Eminem (48, "The Real Slim Shady").

On the way to victory, Pavlovic, who runs a cleaning company together with his mother, was thoroughly checked for his suitability for the jungle.

He mastered a test in which the aim was to roll off stars with his mouth - even if he asked worriedly: "Can you break your tongue?"

Things looked different when the hamburger was supposed to show a strong stomach and was served veal brain with “stinky tofu” and a cricket to eat.

Pavlovic choked violently and clutched a bucket.

His last remaining competitor, reality TV veteran Djamila Rowe (53), did not really get through the disgust test either.

The other two finalists, the “Prince Charming” winner Lars Tönsfeuerborn and the reality TV candidate Mike Heiter (“Love Island”) had both shaken off beforehand.

Above all, Heiter had shown himself in great shape.

Out of nowhere, he revolutionized the technology of twisting stars - instead of taking his tongue, he neatly blew it into the rotation with his mouth.

He also had an intensive conversation with a snake ("Are you a colleague? Keep calm.") Who guarded a star.

But it didn't help him.

A total of twelve candidates appeared in the show, mainly from reality TV or with dormant careers such as actress Bea Fiedler (63, "Popsicle 4 - Hare Hunt").

Harald Glööckler explained his motivation to move into the jungle with the attention that it gets.

«My primary concern is PR.

Because I need PR so that it doesn't get bad financially, ”explained the fashion designer, who is known for his opulent look.

In addition, he is "a boy from the country" - he has seen many rats in his life.

When the request came, he thought: “Now you're sitting here in the cold.

Can you also sit in the jungle.

Six to eight million will see you there. "
