During the decision, there was a brief moment of shock on “Let's Dance” on Friday evening. Malika Dzumaev (35) and Joel Mattli (32) are just happy about their progress when the professional dancer suddenly blacks out.

Daniel Hartwich on “Let’s Dance”: “We need a doctor for Malika”

Singer Milano and Martha Arndt are currently being sent a round further by the moderators when Daniel Hartwich says: “Is everything okay with Malika? We need a doctor for Malika.” The announcement continues as usual for the audience, while the professional dancer sits down on the stairs away from the cameras and is immediately taken care of. “She had a circulatory collapse and was taken care of immediately”then also confirms the production.

Shortly after the live broadcast, the all-clear was given. Malika's vision blackened and she then drove to the hotel. From there she will then personally contact the fans briefly. On the one hand, to thank you for moving forward. On the other hand, to reassure that everything is okay. “I'm fine. I just had a little circulation. I probably just ate a little too little, didn't drink enough and the excitement – it all just comes together. But I’m fine again,” she explains and thanks for the numerous messages from the community.

The first 30 points for Jan Kittmann and a surprising “Let’s Dance” exit

It was an intensive week of training for both the professional dancers and the celebrities, but everyone mastered it with flying colors. In Show 8 there was a partner switch, which meant the candidates had to play twice. A spectacular evening, for example the GZSZ star Jan Kittmann scored his first 30 points.

Also Nadia Benaissa delivered as usual and received many jury points. In the end, however, the audience calls weren't enough for the “No Angels” star, for whom the “Let's Dance” adventure is over for the time being. But we are already rapidly approaching the finale – and by then there will be a reunion with everyone!
