Television

In 1996, Lucille appeared on television for the first time as the presenter of Current Show News on RTL 4. Several shows followed for the commercial broadcaster, but in 2001 she made the switch to AVRO, where she hosted programs such as All Animals Count and Get the Picture. Bitten by the game show bug, she transitioned to TROS in 2005 to present Lingo.

Lingo

On September 1, 2005, Lucille made her debut on Lingo, together with the new jury member JP. It will be nine incredible years, with many challenges and wonderful highlights.
