Nadja Abd el Farrag, affectionately known as 'Naddel', has passed away at the age of 60. The news of her death was confirmed by her long-time companion Andreas Ellermann through an Instagram post, where he expressed his deep shock and sorrow.

Her relationship with Bohlen, which spanned over a decade, was marked by its ups and downs, including public disclosures about her alcohol consumption and its impact on their relationship.

Throughout her career, Naddel made significant contributions to German television, including hosting the erotic show 'Peep!' on RTL2 from 1999 to 2000. She also appeared on popular reality shows such as 'Dschungelcamp' and 'Big Brother'. Despite her professional successes, Naddel faced personal challenges, including financial and alcohol-related issues, which were well-documented in the media.

The entertainment industry and fans alike have expressed their grief over Naddel's passing. Colleagues and friends, including Jenny Elvers and Ballermann-Star Krümel, shared heartfelt tributes on social media, remembering her unique personality and the joy she brought to those around her. Naddel's legacy as a vibrant and resilient figure in German entertainment will undoubtedly endure.
