Borst also appeared on Dutch television. An avid Sparta Rotterdam supporter, he was a regular guest in the soccer discussion program as well as regular guest in the current affairs program De Wereld Draait Door. He also presented his own television program, . In this show Borst examines issues of raising autistic children, a topic to which he was drawn due to his experiences with his own autistic son.
In 2011, Borst ceased all writing and television activities, claiming he was mentally exhausted.[1]
