Theo Haraldsson Triumphs in Let's Dance 2025

Theo Haraldsson takes home the win in this year's "Let's dance" after two dances where he swept the full pot from the jury. I don't even know what I'm supposed to say, thanks to all who have voted, he says.

Theo Haraldsson and dance partner Paulina Rosenkvist received the highest score – 60 – from the jury. After the audience's votes, it was clear that Haraldsson stood as the winner.

This was world-class, said Eric Saade on the jury.

TT: How does it feel in your body and in your head?

Totally unreal, I just want to go out and run and scream, and hug my family over there, says Haraldsson, who started bleeding from the nose when he met the press.

It's been so much nerves and pressure. It's been a really tough week with two difficult dances. To get such a fine response and actually win – it means so incredibly much, he continues.

Haraldsson praises his dance partner Paulina Rosenkvist and tells that they promised each other matching tattoos of an ice skate if they take home the win.

"You have entered as a man"

Jury member Tony Irving was lyrical after the pair's first appearance with a tango.

What has happened tonight is that you have left the boy outside and entered as a man, and for the first time I believe in you, said Irving.

The second dance number gave standing ovations and received even more praise from the jury.

You have given everyone who doubts you a real kick in the mouth, said Taya Shawki on the jury.

Second place for Malmberg

It initially looked promising for influencer Perla Malmberg, who together with Nic Alexander received a total of 57 points from the jury and came in second place.

Character, samba dance, free upper body. You gave us everything tonight, said Saade after the first number.

Irving was a bit stingier with the motivation that Malmberg "almost fell on her butt". But the jury was happier about Malmberg's show number.

Malmberg was still in good spirits after taking home second place.

I really feel like I've won. There are so many nice people here, he's a fantastic dancer, everyone is a fantastic dancer. I couldn't have been happier than I am, says she to TT.

In the final, Ferry Svan and Filippa Nord also competed, scoring 55 points.

David Lindgren, former host of Melodifestivalen and "Let's dance", and Tove Villför landed in fourth place.
