This year's Melodifestival will be Christer Björkman's last.

After 20 years in the competition, the producer withdraws to focus on the Eurovision song contest and the launch of the competition in the USA.

He ends long and faithful service by appearing in front of the camera, as this year's main host.

- I see it more as if I am hosting the party and that I invite presenters who will entertain us and me on this journey, he says.
