Presenter Yvon Jaspers, 53, said she had undergone successful surgery for hearing and balance problems and was recovering slowly after several difficult weeks. She shared photographs showing a bandage around her head.
Jaspers said she could hear sounds such as birds whistling, the wind and her washing machine again, and said she expected to return to normal, though she was not there yet.

The fifteenth season of Boer Zoekt Vrouw is due to begin, with Yvon Jaspers again presenting the programme. The season includes horse farmer Joey, who is seeking a male partner; a report described this as a first for the programme. Another report said that, for the first time, a young farmer is looking for a boyfriend. The programme is set to air on NPO 1 every weekday for three weeks. One report also said that Jaspers remains affected by the death during the summer of farmer John, 38, whom she described as feeling like family.
