No time? blue News summarizes for you
- Elena Miras reveals in the “Showdown of the Jungle Legends” that she has taken a break from television due to her depression.
- By the summer of 2023, she weighed only 45 kilograms and felt emotionally empty when she looked at her daughter.
- Miras sought help from a psychologist and received treatment twice a week.
- Despite her challenges, she is now returning to the jungle camp and facing reality TV again.
“I’m a Celebrity – Showdown of the Jungle Legends” has been running on RTL since Friday, and on Sunday evening the Swiss reality TV queen Elena Miras (32) joined the recorded anniversary season for the 20th anniversary of the jungle camp.
As soon as she arrived, she immediately caused trouble, as “Blick” reports. The bone of contention: the sleeping places. Some participants sleep in hammocks, others on camp beds.
Miras immediately wanted to introduce a rotation system, which influencer Georgina Fleur (34) did not like at all. “Why are you here now? Can you tell me why you are here now?” grumbled Fleur.
Miras countered: “Girl, what do you want?” Fleur knew that Miras, as the latecomer, had to make do with a hammock since she had been at the hotel for a while.
“I am an honest person”
Cult emigrant Danni Büchner (46), who has been at loggerheads with Miras since her first participation in the jungle camp in 2020, concluded by suggesting that they switch beds. “Keep your friends close to you and your enemies even closer,” commented Büchner.
The discussion about the sleeping places is just a small taste of what Elena Miras brings to the TV format. The German newspaper “Bild” calls her the “riot queen” for good reason. Miras has earned this reputation in various formats thanks to her fiery manner.

“I am an honest person who communicates directly and does not get involved in the opinions of others. Many people cannot do that,” she said in an interview with Blickin 2022. She is therefore often “labeled as an antisocial, aggressive woman.”
Lost a lot of weight
Miras became known in 2017 through the German dating show “Love Island”, which she won. In 2019, she triumphed with her then partner Mike Heiter (32) in the RTL show “Das Sommerhaus der Stars”, which often led to outbursts and conflicts with other participants.
“This format destroyed me,” she later reflected. In 2022, she emerged as the winner of the RTL show “Kampf der Realitystars”.
Things have been quieter for Elena Miras for a year now. In the latest episode of the Legends Jungle Camp, which has been available in advance on RTL+ since Sunday evening, Miras now reveals the sad reason for this. In the summer of 2023, the 1.69 meter tall woman weighed less than 45 kilograms.
Fighting depression
When she looked at her daughter Aylen (6) and no longer felt anything, she sought professional help. She went to the psychologist twice a week: “She confirmed that I was depressed.” To this day, she struggles with her underweight. “I can’t manage to gain weight.”
Now Miras is celebrating her TV comeback in the jungle camp. You can see how she gets on every day at 8:15 p.m. on RTL.
