After being asked to join “Let’s Dance” 11 times, Erik Saade finally answered yes. And with great success.
In Saturday’s final, Saade and dance instructor Katja Luján Engelholm (30) ran away with the victory in the battle against YouTuber and actor Filip Dikme (25) – and his coach Linn Hegdal (26).
Saade threw himself around the dance partner’s neck and hugged all the others who crowded around him.
– Jaaa !, you could hear him shouting Expressen’s live broadcast.
according to Aftonbladet the dancing couple got the same number of points from the judges, so it was the viewers’ votes that decided the outcome.
Hegdal won by the way last yearwhen she instructed another Filip – namely Norwegian-born Filip Lamprecht (25).
–– Actually, I have said no to everything that has nothing to do with music, but when this question came for the 11th time, I found out that I would say yes. I want to come in and play and learn something new, Saade said to the TV show “after Five” in February this year.
Saade, who is considered a great pop artist in his home country, has performed in Norway on several occasions. He sang the romantic duet «Imagine» with Tone Damli (33).
