Dutch presenter Peter Jan Rens says he is writing a book about himself and his friend Johan Vlemmix, which he expects to publish in about a month.

Rens, 76, announced the project on Radio Veronica’s Middagshow Wout & Frank on Friday. He said the book is called *Hallo, met Johan* and will cover, among other things, the media, the 1990s and “all sorts of things that came into my head”.

He said he had written 100,000 words but thought the book should be 60,000, and was now cutting it down.

On the programme, Rens also recounted a story involving John de Mol, Joop van den Ende and Hennie Huisman in bumper cars. He joked that a collision had left Van den Ende with a headache ever since, and said he was “actually quite mean” despite acting cheerful.
