Harald Glööckler vs. Thorsten Legat on "Beat the Star"

He loves glitter, frills, and grand entrances – and that's exactly what he's bringing to television. Harald Glööckler, Germany's most flamboyant fashion original, will face off against an opponent who could hardly be more different on Saturday, April 18, 2026, live on ProSieben at 20:15 p.m.

It is Thorsten Legat, the emotionally charged former professional footballer, who has stormed into the hearts of the public at the latest since his reality TV appearances as "Kasalla".


Haute Couture meets BundesligaPompous meets boisterous, catwalk meets lawn. Rarely has "Beat the Star" presented a pair that offers so much potential for friction.

“Elegance and an iron will” – Glööckler’s declaration of war

Anyone who thought sequins and high heels weren't combat gear might be proven wrong tonight. Harald Glööckler is appearing combative and self-assured before the big duel.

"I want to make a statement. I think it's always the right time to surprise people and turn expectations upside down. I'm competing to show that elegance and an iron will are a pretty dangerous combination."

Thorsten Legat: Matured like a fine wine

On the other side of the ring stands Thorsten Legat, who knows "Beat the Star" very well – and still remembers his defeat ten years ago.

But the former Bundesliga professional is back, and with a healthy dose of self-confidence: "When you let wine mature over years, it tastes all the better. Ten years have passed and Thorsten Kasalla has also matured – with certain advantages that I will definitely exploit."

Everything about the show: When, where and how to watch it?

Maturity versus extravagance. Fitness versus charisma. It promises to be an evening full of surprises.

“Beat the Star” will be broadcast live on ProSieben on Saturday, April 18, 2026, starting at 20:15 pm, and simultaneously on Joyn.

As usual, Matthias Opdenhövel will host the evening, with Ron Ringguth providing commentary. The successful format is produced by Brainpool.
