–
On Wednesday, it was announced that “Good Evening Norway” host Sophie Elise Isachsen is not allowed to interview “Farmen Kjendis” participant Isak Dreyer before TV 2 have had their private relationship clarified, after romantic photos of the two were published.
TV 2 has now decided that the three presenters will be removed from the rest of the “Farmen Kjendis” coverage in “Good Evening Norway”.
– We now see that it will be more challenging than we had anticipated, to be presenters in cases involving “Farmen kjendis”. Therefore, we in TV 2 want to further clarify the roles of the presenters in “Good evening Norway” so that there should be no room for unnecessary doubt about their roles on the channel, writes press manager in TV 2, Jan-Petter Dahl in an e-mail.
Former “Farmen” participant Tonje Frigstad, who has been in as a substitute this week, will in future lead all the broadcasts where “Farmen kjendis” is the theme.
–– And Sophie Elise, Dorthe and Niklas will be interviewed on an equal footing with the other participants in “Farmen kjendis”. The three will exclusively work with other celebrity material for “Good evening Norway”, Dahl writes.
– You said you should clarify Sophie’s and Isak’s private relationship. Have you done that now?
– If she has a relationship with Isak is something she has to answer for herself. We do not comment on the details of the conversations we have had directly with her.

VG wrote in last week about the “Good evening Norway” presenters who interviewed each other about the “Farm Celebrity” stay.
Program director Kathrine Haldorsen then stated that “Good evening Norway” follows the Vær varsom poster, and that “it is obvious to the viewer that the presenters have a role in” Farmen kjendis “, and thus we consider what has been made sufficiently known that they have a bond to what they are talking about. “
On Tuesday, Se og Hør published a number of photos of Isachsen and Dreyer. “Secret romance revealed” was one of the titles in the celebrity magazine. Then TV 2 said the following:
– TV 2 does not know if the two have a private relationship, but if this is true, we will avoid Sophie Elise interviewing Isak from now on, writes communications manager at TV 2, Jan-Petter Dahl in an e-mail.
The Vær varsom poster also states that the media must be open about underlying issues that may be relevant to the public.
In a interview with VG on 15 January Isachsen said the following about her relationship with Dreyer:
– I know that there are rumors about us, and if you wonder what happened on “The Farm”, then you can only look at “The Farm” then. It will come there, she said.
