Helene Spilling kept up with the other participants right up to program 7. She had never thought that. – I’m actually quite shocked that I was able to hold on for so long. I feel like I’m just surfing on, says the sports dancer afterwards. Spilling’s last episode in the Master of Masters was a really tough round. It started with her being able to lash herself into the rope, and finished last in the “Taukampen”. LOCKED IN: It gradually became heavy with rope around the body in the exercise “Taukampen”.

I think it was very nice, she smiles. LEAD HEAVY: The sled weighed 30 percent of her body weight, but it felt much heavier when it was to be dragged through the sand, says Spilling.

Among other things, she had an unforgettable duet with rower Olaf Tufte. – We sang “Shallow” together. I think it’s really fun that he joined it. SING TOGETHER: Spilling is particularly pleased that rower Olaf Tufte performed a duet with her. Photo: Heidi Marie Gøperød / Nordisk Banijay/news Talked to himself It was rarely quiet around Spilling. As a rule, she always had a laugh or a smile on her back. She also ensured that during the “Balance track” exercise. – I think I was just talking to myself, like “yes, good Helene, now you’re doing well!”, She admits that she was a little disappointed afterwards. – I don’t know what I was doing and whining about. SURFED: Spilling herself feels that she surfed her way through the program. Photo: Heidi Marie Gøperød / Nordisk Banijay/news Spilling ended up in second last place, and thus had to go to the last night test of the season. Just before this, she opened up about a difficult time. – A little poke During dinner, the sports dancer told about the summer in Lithuania, where she developed an eating disorder. It lasted for over two years. Spilling has mixed feelings about having to hear and see this again on TV. – It’s always a little sting, because you are pulled back and have to think and remember the time when you weren’t doing so well. After Spilling told her story in a portrait to P3, she has received several messages from both boys and girls. – They think it is very good that I stand up about it. A LOT OF FUN: Helene Spilling together with cross-country runner Ola Vigen Hattestad and soccer player Frode Johnsen.

The gang’s “spreader of joy” or “baby”, as she refers to herself as. The time after the program has brought with it a lot of fun for the 26-year-old from Gjerdrum. On Fridays, she starts the day by watching the week’s episode, in order to prepare for the feedback she usually gets in the evening. Among other things, she has received some cute videos of dancing children. – Then I will be very happy, actually. Like that; Four-year-old Tiril has now seen this clip twenty times in a row, where she stands in front of the screen and dances with me, Spilling laughs.
