René Dost exits Promi Big Brother following hygiene controversy

René Dost, the 57-year-old entrepreneur known as ‘Redo’, has exited the reality television show ‘Promi Big Brother’ on day 11. His departure follows a controversy regarding food hygiene practices during a broadcast.

Footage showed Dost using a cooking spoon to taste food and subsequently returning the same utensil to a communal pot multiple times without washing it. This action drew criticism from viewers and fellow contestants for violating standard food safety protocols intended to prevent cross-contamination.

Dost is a prominent figure in the German gastronomy sector, managing an empire of over 40 business areas, including the ‘Redo XXL’ concept and various steakhouses, with an estimated annual turnover of approximately 20 million euros. He has also built a significant social media presence with over one million followers.
