Sweden: Carina Berg and Björn Gustafsson will host Melodifestivalen 2024, according to Aftonbladet!
A few moments ago, Aftonbladet‘s Torbjörn Ek revealed the hosts of the shows of Melodifestivalen 2024!
Carina Berg and Björn Gustafsson will host the shows of the tour next year, according to Aftonbladet‘s sources!
Who is Björn Gustafsson
In 2008, Carina Berg was married to Kristian Luuk, who was the leader of the Eurovision Song Contest at the time. Björn Gustafsson was his sidekick and in an acclaimed intermission he performed his “Kärlekssång till Carina Berg” (“Lovesong to Carina Berg“) where he tried to convince her to dump her husband for him. He also presented the Swedish vote the very same year, at the Eurovision Song Contest.
The song became the comedian’s and actor’s big breakthrough and since then he has been named Sweden‘s funniest man, and made both Swedish and international careers with films such as “Spy” and roles in the TV series “People of earth“, “Clark” and the TV4 series about Ture Sventon.
Who is Carina Berg?
Carina Berg, has since 2012 been associated with Discovery and Kanal 5 and has made a variety of series, by herself or with partner Christine Meltzer, such as “Berg & Meltzer in America“, “A Job for Berg“, “Berg & Meltzer at the Oscars“, “The World’s Toughest Job with Carina Berg” and “Berg’s Dream House“.
In August, however, it became known that Berg had left his exclusive contract with Kanal 5 to freelance and host the Childhood Cancer Gala on Viaplay and TV3. And now she will go to SVT to lead Melodifestivalen 2024 together with Björn Gustafsson.
SVT’s response
Aftonbladet has been in contact with Melodifestivalen‘s project manager Anders Wistbacka, who does not want to comment on the choice of host and he states:
