It was a somewhat speechless winner who received the cheers of the people inside the arena.

Despite being the favourite, she never took the victory out of hand, she says.

- It didn't matter to me what happened.

I'm so proud to have made it here, so there was no worry.

That was my feeling when I was on stage and it allowed me to deliver.

Throughout the Idol journey, Nike Sellmar has been praised by the jury.

At the same time, her mix of country and rock has gone home in the cottages.

- It is something special to experience this and really feel "Damn, people are here to check on me", she said after her second song interpretation, Bob Dylan's "Make me feel my love".

Lost text

Her opponent Albin Tingwall also received the jury's praise - but was himself dissatisfied with his first effort.

- I lost text in a place I really didn't think I would lose text.

The lights freak me out, he said after singing Harry Styles' "Falling."

Was offered a job immediately

But jury member Katia Mosally urged him not to put too much importance on the miss and asked in front of the entire arena if he wanted to work with her.

A shaken Albin Tingwall said "yes" and later in the program got revenge with Roxette's "It must have been love".

The 19-year-old tennis player from Sigtuna had never been on a stage before he applied for this year's "Idol".

Meeting the experienced 27-year-old Nike Sellmar, educated at the Academy of Music in Piteå, he described as a challenge.

- Nike has been the favorite ever since the qualifying week.

There was no talk of her going to the finals, only about who would have the second place.

And it was me, it was strange, said Albin Tingwall to TT before the final.

A climate activist stepped up in the middle of Miss Li's performance.

Climate activist stormed the stage

During Miss Li's performance, a person ran onto the stage with a sign reading "Restore the wetlands" - and was quickly taken away by security personnel.

"One person got on stage and it was handled quickly by staff on site," says Malin Knave, executive producer at TV4 in a statement to TT.
