NRK profile and «Debatten» presenter Fredrik Solvang (43) is known for protecting its privacy extremely well.
He is rarely interviewed by the press, and thus it probably comes as a surprise to many, that this week he is visiting Ida Fladen’s (34) recent episode of the podcast, “Ida with her heart in her hand”.
Brutally honest about depression
The podcast is known for taking a deep dive into the privacy of guests, and especially how it is with love, is a recurring theme. Several known profiles such as radio profile Silje Nordnes (35), comedian Nils-Ingar Aadne (38) and Marion Ravn (36) has been among the guests who have given the listeners a little insight into their privacy.
In the podcast, you clearly notice that Solvang is nervous that he will share his love life. He is early to point out that it was a long way to go to agree to be on the podcast, as he has no desire for others to think much about him.

Want an anonymous wedding
Still, Fladen manages to get Solvang talking about his relationship, and probably not everyone knows that the host has been in a relationship for fifteen years – nor that he is engaged.
In the podcast, however, Solvang reveals that it was he who proposed in a romantic way at the Ekeberg restaurant. The courtship reveals the host came as a surprise to the girlfriend, and admits that there were tears in the picture.

A courtship is usually followed by a wedding, and Solvang has made up his mind about the latter event.
– The dream wedding is very elusive and anonymous. It should preferably take place without anyone knowing, Solvang explains in the podcast, and adds that he has no plans to have the family present, and that he also does not need a traditional wedding party.
– Happy holidays
When they get into his relationship, Fladen points out up to several times that Solvang is reminiscent of an embarrassed teenage boy, where he sits and has to unfold about his love life. But something still emerges, including Solvang’s admission that he is not an ideal cohabitant as he does too little at home.

Do not want to hurt anyone
When asked how he would describe his relationship, he answers:
– We have a relationship where we are very honest with each other, where we accept that we are different people and allow each other different interests. At the same time, we tend to do a lot together, so we are pretty much in agreement, but that should hopefully just be missing.
When he wants to highlight his own qualities as a girlfriend, Solvang believes that he is good at finding solutions, as well as giving advice in case of problems. However, he admits that in private he is wary of conflict.

– I do not shy away from a conflict if it is absolutely necessary, but at the same time I do not seek conflict. I’m very was because I do not want to hurt anyone. I use a lot of energy not to hurt, he explains.
Reveals his biggest TV fear
Dagbladet has been in contact with Solvang, who states that he does not want to comment further.
– If I elaborate, I do exactly the opposite of what I spent an entire podcast explaining that I should not do, Solvang adds in a humorous way.
– Sometimes I get nervous
As host of the “Debate”, Solvang is known as both confident and talkative. In prime time, he grills everything from politicians to influencers, and if the interview subject turns away, viewers can swear that there will be a quick “answer to the question” shortly after.
However, when Dagbladet met Solvang during the Gullruten award ceremony this summer, the host could reveal that he too can get nervous.
Deletes the micropenis podcast
– I do not want to reveal what makes me nervous, then it can be used against me, he flirted, before he continued:
– No, yes. Sometimes I get nervous in situations I have never been in before. What you see in the studio is me as a host, where I have spent a long time preparing. There I have a kind of advantage, but in other situations the nervousness can appear.
