Patty's infamous dive removed from Promenade's opening credits

Patty's dive on Sterren Springen in the opening credits of Promenade before its removal

Promenade is a satirical TV program on NTR/NPO 3. According to NPO Plus and Dutch media news website Mediacourant.nl, the excerpt from Patty Brard's infamous dive on Sterren Springen was recently removed from Promenade's opening credits. An anonymous source told that the diva demanded it. Ever since La Brard lost 40 kilos after her gastric bypass and tried to change her image, she forbids all the images of her looking fat. 

However, in 2012, the situation was different. Patty's funny performance on SBS6's celebrity diving competition Sterren Springen saved her career on television (see news posted on August 29th, 2012). At the time, the former Luv' singer had no TV show. Her failed dive was used by Eyeworks as a publicity stunt to promote "Celebrity Splash" (the international name of the "Sterren Springen" format) abroad. The diving competition was sold to 25 major TV channels around the world including ABC (USA), TF1 (France) and Seven Network (Australia) - see news posted on October 12th, 2012. Moreover, Patty took advantage of the success of Sterren Springen and eventually signed an exclusive contract with SBS6. She later admitted that it also had been a painful experience. Many viewers dissed her due to her overweight. She also suffered from physical pain due to injuries. Whether she likes it or not she must accept that Splash got her career back on track.
