In the first season of Winter full of Love he was not one of the main characters. However, almost everyone on social media was talking about Joshua, one of Benjamin’s single men. Unfortunately, it was mainly hate reactions about his behavior, which he has now worked on. For example, after the recordings he received help for his separation anxiety. He also arranged to meet Benjamin afterwards… Oh la la!
Joshua about hate reactions during Winter full of Love
In the reality program Winter full of Love, Joshua was one of the most striking bachelors. His character was portrayed quite grandly by the makers. This is probably partly why he received the most reactions on social media, unfortunately many of which were negative comments. Joshua has had difficulty with this, he tells Shownieuws. “These are harsh words. That’s fine, because everyone can say what they want. But I didn’t think it was very nice and polite,” says Joshua. The fact that people called him ‘manipulative’ was particularly noticeable. “That’s just very negative,” he says. “That can also be defined differently for many people. For me, that is something that I am a bit shocked by.”
Still in contact with Benjamin
Unfortunately, he did not win Benjamin’s heart. He even brutally sends him away in the series. However, it appears that the contact between the two has not completely faded away. In the series he never shouted on the phone, says Joshua himself. Although he can imagine that someone experiences it differently. In any case, Benjamin has not blocked Joshua: “We are still in contact.” He even visited Joshua’s home in Amsterdam. According to Joshua, they had a nice evening and laughed a lot.
However, he has no feelings for Benjamin. Although he certainly thinks he is “a treasure”, Joshua does not think they will ever become a loving couple. However, his door always remains open: “If you have experienced something together, you are always welcome.” Having a drink from time to time: fine. But they probably won’t become more than friends.
Fear of abandonment
Joshua sees his romance with Benjamin as a holiday romance. He also certainly experienced sadness. What affects him most is “that the door closed so quickly.” Aww. Fortunately, once he gets home, he gets enough help from RTL. This is how he resolved his separation anxiety with professional help. “I started writing about all the feelings I had about it and where it came from,” he says. That is why he is very grateful to the TV program. “That made me grow enormously,” he explains. In the future he also takes things a little easier, when a new love comes his way. Ha!
Spinoff?
Who knows, there may be a chance that we will be able to follow his life after Winter Full of Love. Although someone must be interested in making a spin-off about Joshua. In any case, he is quite open to this. “I like entertaining people,” he says. In addition, he does not appear to be such a difficult person and he easily goes along with other people’s plans. “I don’t easily say no,” says Joshua.
