Concern for Gundula Gause - "heute-journal" moderation ends prematurely
Viewers of the ZDF program "heute-journal" were worried about presenter Gundula Gause (58) on Monday evening. Barely ten minutes after she had presented the news program as usual from 9:45 p.m., she suddenly spoke indistinctly and apparently had problems reading her text from the teleprompter. Nevertheless, she still managed to finish a report on the current situation in Israel and the Gaza Strip.
Afterwards, however, she did not return to the camera, her colleague Dunja Hayali (49) took over the moderation and finished the"heute-journal". At the end of the show, Hayali did provide some information about Gause's state of health: "The fact that I had to finish the show alone is simply because Gundula has just become a little dizzy. It can happen - but the all-clear: she's feeling better again."
Gundula Gause took over as the main presenter of "heute-journal" in January 2022
Gundula Gause has been with ZDF since 1989 and has been a co-presenter on "heute-journal" since 1993, taking over as the main presenter in January 2022. Gause lives in Mainz and has been married to dentist and FDP politician Peter Schmitz since 1997, with whom she has two children. On the program "Kölner Treff" in September 2017, Gause said that she officially goes by the double name Gause-Schmitz.
