Amira Pocher is getting serious: the presenter and ex of Oliver Pocher has not only renounced her old surname on Instagram, but will also appear on TV as Amira Aly for the first time.

As reported by the "Bild" newspaper, the 31-year-old will probably no longer compete as Amira Pocher on "Schlag den Star" on ProSieben on Saturday, but as Amira Aly against pop star Vanessa Mai. A new era is beginning for Oliver Pocher's ex-wife.

"Change of name applied for"
And Amira has also long since drawn a line under her marriage to the comedian on Instagram. Since Friday, the Carinthian can also be found there under her maiden name, which comes from her Egyptian father.

"I've applied to the registry office to change my name," Amira told the German newspaper. "It's not official yet, just a formality. But thanks to my appearance as Amira Aly on 'Schlag den Star', I can already get used to my new or old name."

"Want to win as Amira Aly"
There is just one problem before her big appearance as Amira Aly: the presenter is ill, as she revealed. "Unfortunately, I've got a cold, I'm inhaling, taking vitamins and sleeping a lot," she sighed. She will "take it easy for the fight". 

Nevertheless, she wants to compete against Vanessa Mai on Saturday evening. Because: "I want to win 'Schlag den Star' as Amira Aly!"
