The day before it broke loose on the parquet at Fornebu on Saturday night, was radio profile Marte Bratberg (31) injured during dance training. It is a well-known fact that “Shall we dance” participants stretch muscles and incur fractures, as the long history of the series has proven.
For Bratberg’s part, she got everything in her lap at the same time. according to TV 2 she has contracted a muscle spasm in her back, several locks and has sprained the cartilage between her ribs. It should seem as small as possible on the floor, so just pull on your smile and roll through the minutes you stand in front of the judges.
Saturday she and Benjamin Jayakoddy (26) danced a show dance to “Who Let The Dogs Out”, where they had actually planned three lifts during the number. It came with two, due to the injury she had sustained. Due to adrenaline, she got through.
– It was not until afterwards, when we stood in front of the judges to get points, that I felt how much it actually hurt, she says to TV 2.

Still hurt
The pain has not subsided properly yet, and there will therefore be no wild stunt this coming Saturday either.
– It still hurts. It hurts when I laugh, sleep, lie down and walk. We have had to adapt this week’s choreography. For example, there will be no lift, says Bratberg.
Together with her dance partner, she has done well so far in the competition. Although they cut a lift last week, the couple got a full 31 points for their resilient show dance. It is reassuring to keep in mind when entering a new weekend with some restrictions.

Bratberg still believes that there is no sin in her.
– That’s what happens in “Shall we dance,” and it’s not a shame on me. I am motivated by the fact that Synnøve broke her rib two weeks ago, but now she is much better.
On 12 September, Synnøve Skarbø changed the parquet with great pain. She admitted that the week had been “cheap”, but it gave little sympathy from the judges. Together with the dance partner, they swung in a rumba, but it got only 17 points from the referee quartet.
Injured or not – week after week a participant must leave the competition. It has started to escalate already, and three participants have been knocked out. Øystein Lihaug Solberg from “Ex on the Beach” was the first participant to smoke, before artist Fred Buljo and influencer Kristin Gjelsvik followed.
– It’s so incredibly weird, that’s my first thought. We’ve had so much fun together, Catalin and I, and the whole gang. On the other hand, I have many nice things waiting for me at home, and I can be an even better mom, she told Dagbladet after the broadcast.

The influencer thought it was sad not to see her dance partner every day, but she looked forward to being more at home for the rest of the autumn.
– The disadvantage of this is that every Saturday and Sunday is a lot of quality time with my child and my dear cohabitant. It is very positive, that I have a lot to look forward to, she said.
