No life without vices? Presenter Barbara Schöneberger has inadvertently revealed an interesting detail about her long-time co-star in various TV shows, Florian Silbereisen.

The two star presenters have known each other for many years and only recently appeared on stage together again side by side at the "Goldene Henne" awards.

In a new episode of the "Baywatch Berlin" podcast, Schöneberger chatted about her typical rituals before and after a show. She also unintentionally revealed a secret about her colleague Florian Silbereisen.

 But no life without vices?
"After a show, I always go upstairs to my dressing room and have a bottle of champagne. Recently, I've started smoking a cigarette out of the window," said the 50-year-old and quickly revealed: "Sometimes Florian Silbereisen comes along, for example, he smokes a lot too."

For many fans of the Schlager prince, his smoking habits are likely to come as quite a surprise. After all, Silbereisen generally embodies a life without vices to the outside world.

"Queen of entertainment"
However, Silbereisen will certainly not take offense at the fact that Schöneberger has now revealed his unexpected habit to the whole world.

Only recently, he raved about his colleague to "Bild": "Barbara is the absolute queen of entertainment for me! She's so quick-witted, incredibly funny, spontaneous and eloquent. And what I really appreciate about her is that she is absolutely reliable."
