The Norwegian Lasse won the Italian "On Dancing

The Norwegian Instagram celebrity Lasse Løkke Matberg and her dance partner Sara Di Vaira went to the top of the evening during the Italian dance competition "Ballando con le Stelle".

He announces the contest himself on his instagram pages until Saturday, Norwegian time.

"I have not yet been able to speak with him, but I am incredibly proud and fortunate," Stian Reinhartsen, Matberg's manager, told VG just after it became clear was rid of the victory night on Saturday.

– We arrived in the final! My god so happy we are, said Matberg himself at TV 2 after last week's semifinal.

TV 2 writes Saturday that Matberg had been injured in the arm during the final and had to spend the night at the hospital after the victory:

– Lasse has suffered a lot in recent songs. One of the pitches was a bit wrong and he was injured in the biceps, explains the manager Reinhartsen at TV 2.

Reinhartsen says that Matberg has worked well to attract viewers, especially on the entertainment side, and that he has learned a lot Italian during his course.

But why did the Norwegian participate every day in an Italian dance competition? At VGVT, he claims to have been contacted by the production, who obviously wanted a man with his "look".

– She who is the presenter just found me on the internet. "Vikings" and "Game and Thrones" are popular and they wanted to bring a hairy guy. After all, I find an interesting contrast with all the black Italians who will participate in the series, he said in the interview:

The italian writer wrote that the final was dramatic for "the Norwegian Vikings": he injured his arm, but chose to close his eyes on the representation.

– He injured his elbow before the last two dances. So it's incredibly impressive that he handled it with as much pain as he looked, Reinhartsen said.

The finalist was Ettore Bassi, who had to be beaten by the Norwegian in front of his public.

– With 57% of the votes, Lasse Matberg wins, announced the presenter Paolo Belli.

The popularity of the Norwegian, who works daily in the Navy in Stavanger, took off seriously after the Daily Mail wrote an article about it in 2016.

– I thought it was very strange that it could happen to me. You have no idea. He has received requests from the media and offers of all kinds, Matberg had already told VG.
