This is how it works for Claudia Effenberg in the jungle camp 2023
The jungle also leaves its mark on Claudia: the Instagram glow is gone, but she is holding up pretty well despite the adverse circumstances.
After a week in the jungle camp, Claudia Effenberg is mainly noticed by her complaining. Most of the time it’s about the mess in the camp. But one thing stands firmly by her side: blasphemer sister Verena Kerth.
On day 6, the woman from Munich had to come along Tessa Bergmeier and girlfriend Verena in the jungle test “Pfui-Dora”. The three ladies were given different disgust menus Papis Loveday delivered.

Didn’t go quite so well for Claudia. The dishes included “Fueltaschen mit Schauerkraut” (brooded hen’s egg, marinated in mudfish with fermented cabbage). She tries to face it, but soon the first bite is out again.
The jungle test the next day went much better. Locked in the tank she fished 9/12 stars out of the water.
Private life of Claudia Effenberg
Claudia made a name for herself as THE German player’s wife. The model was in a relationship with well-known athletes twice: Claudia first married football player Thomas Strunz in 1997. The couple have two children together.

In 2002 comes the scandalous divorce. The reason: Stefan Effenberg, Thomas Strunz’s FC Bayern teammate, conquers the model’s heart. The dream couple is in love in public, they pose kissing at the Oktoberfest. Meanwhile, Thomas and Claudia are arguing about custody of the Strunz children.
In 2004 Claudia and Stefan married. The marriage is initially a long-distance relationship because Stefan lives in Florida to be close to his children. Claudia lives in Hamburg with her two chicks.
In 2006 it is discovered that Stefan was having an affair with his neighbor Mary. A shock! The couple split up but reunited in 2008. In 2014 there is another temporary separation, but the couple agrees: in good times and bad, they are meant for each other!
Career of Claudia Effenberg
Claudia Köhler was born in today’s Menden. In 1984, at the age of 19, the blonde beauty was discovered as a model. Engagements as the cover face for “Vogue” and “Elle” soon followed, and later also as a nude model for the men’s magazine “Matador”.
2007: Reality TV debut for Claudia. As Strunz-Ex she takes part in the docu-soap “Club der Ex-Frauen”. The series will be canceled after two episodes. In 2008, two years after Stefan’s fling in Florida, the Effenbergs try again – as a couple and as reality stars. But “Effenbergs Heimspiel” arouses little viewer interest, so that this docu-soap did not get a second season either.
In 2010 Claudia published her autobiography “Actually, I’m quite nice”. Four years later, the model opened up to the “ Celebrity Big Brother: The Experiment‘ audience and took second place. She showed herself to be an honest, open and transparent candidate.
In the meantime, Claudia has also established herself as a dirndl designer.
And now Claudia Effenberg wants to prove herself in the Australian bush. Does she have what it takes to be the new jungle queen? You will see this on RTL from January 13th…
