Törnblom’s mother revealed as secret contestant on Let’s Dance

For this year's season of "Let's Dance", Melodifestival winner Marcus and Martinus Gunnarsen, hockey player and athlete Bianca Salming, Norwegian ski star Petter Northug and astronaut Christer Fuglesang are among the participants.

A tenth contestant was revealed during the premiere night: opera singer Marianne Eklöf Törnblom, who surprised her son. She has previously competed in TV4's "The Traitors".

"You shouldn't be ashamed of your parents. But you're making it difficult," the son says live.

Marianne Eklöf Törnblom teams up with Tobias Bader and the pair's first dance was an American smooth, which earned a four from Tony Irving.

"Let's Dance" celebrates 20 years on screen this autumn.
