Philipp Jelinek, "Vorturner der Nation", last made a name for himself when ORF kicked him out after a chat affair. After that, things went quiet for the presenter and entertainer. Until now. Because he now appeared at a charity event and the "Krone" interviewed him about the state of the "fitness nation" ...

After being kicked out of ORF, things have actually gone a bit quiet around the "nation's gymnast" Philipp Jelinek. But only until now! 

Happy to be among people
The 56-year-old presenter and entertainer, who will soon be in action on ServusTV, is a busy man. "I hosted the Vespa meeting in Klosterneuburg near Vienna again this year - for the fourth time in total," he tells us. "It's a charity for people with special needs, so I'm immediately involved. And anyway, I like being around people."

Fans are waiting for him
No verbal attacks against him? "But go, not a single bit of hostility. Everyone greeted me warmly and said: 'It's amazing what's happening to you now!"

"Many people also came straight up to me and said: 'We're waiting for you, Philipp!" As it now seems to be final, the fit Philipp fans shouldn't have to wait too much longer.
