Sarah Engels

She is best-known for participating in season 8 of Deutschland sucht den Superstar, where she was eliminated from the Top 10,[2][3] only to return two shows later and eventually become the runner-up.

Engels also participated in season 7 of Deutschland sucht den Superstar but was eliminated during the recall after her duet with Eugen Flittner.

[4] Later on, she was asked to come back because RTL chief Tom Sänger (not the voters) had eliminated Nina Richel from the show, allegedly for health reasons.

[6] After hearing about what Sarah had done, Lombardi's brother Marco decided to take "revenge" by sharing this semi-nude picture of Engels.

[10] The couple married in May 2021 and have had Sarah Engels's birth-name as their family name ever since.
