Katja Burkard oversleeps: Humorous mishap with the RTL star

Katja Burkard (59), the face of the RTL midday news program 'Punkt 12' since 1997, surprised her fans with an unusual confession on Instagram: she overslept completely. Due to an uncharged phone and the resulting lack of an alarm, she almost missed the show. Only a concerned call from her colleagues woke her up abruptly. Burkard took the mishap with humor and posted a styled photo with the hashtag 'Sleeping is healthy.' Her fans reacted understandingly and praised her honesty.
