– Went to Spain and all I got were two severed fingertips, begins the former handball player and TV profile The Instagram post Wednesday.
The recording of season two by Erik Follestad (34). VGTV program “Til fjells med Folle” was barely underway when “the tips hit a door”, writes Hundvin.
– This time it wasn’t lousy rules or my temper that got me in trouble, but my own nonsense. When Folle found the tips on the floor, he became Erik.

Hundvin, Ole Soo (42) and Helene Olafsen (34) were all in the first season of the programme.
Now biathlete Tiril Eckhoff (33) and stand-up comedian Espen Abrahamsen (31) will also take part.
Hundvin further writes that Ole Soo, who is a trained nurse, acted as both an officer and an officer when the accident occurred.
– The emergency room in Marbella did not know who hit them, but it turns out that his style is international. Luckily. But – the show must go on and Ole had to go back to the menagerie, as he usually says, so the Matador came down to relieve, she continues.

The matador Hundvin is referring to is her fiance, Jørgen Høst (43). He is known, among other things, from the VGTV series “The table tennis buddies”.
Høst dressed in a matador costume when he got down on his knees to Hundvin on stage in November.
– So brutally simple and unfortunate
Christoffer Bjurholt, responsible producer at VGTV, writes in an e-mail to VG that Hundvin pinched his fingers in a door.
– It is as brutally simple and unfortunate as that.
The accident had nothing to do with the competitions for the production, and could have happened anywhere and at any time, Bjurholt points out.
– To what extent is VGTV responsible for what happened?
– Together with the production company, we are responsible for everything that happens on the recording of our series. When it comes to this very unfortunate incident, our responsibility is primarily to follow up on Mia and ensure that she receives the best and correct treatment.

Bjurholt writes that changes were made to the recording schedule when the accident occurred.
– Both crew and participants spent time gathering themselves, making a new plan and, of course, following up on Mia. When we were confident that Mia was in the best hands and was, according to the conditions, fine, we continued filming with some practical adjustments.
He says Hundvin has nothing more to add beyond what is written in the Instagram post.
Guilty
Erik Follestad says in a comment via VGTV that he has pestered Hundvin to take part in a new season of the programme, and promised her a nice trip to a warm place.
– It turned out to be neither, because it was both cold down there and she cut off two of her fingers.

Follestad writes that he is happy that Hundvin received good help from Soo and the health care system, and that she is doing as well as she can be.
– Did I mention that I have a guilty conscience? I have, he continues, and concludes:
– Live life while you can, because suddenly you’re sitting there with two severed fingers. With that said, I was told to make an episode 1 that hits harder this season, and I feel we achieved that.
Hundvin writes in conclusion on Instagram:
– Nobody can be blamed, accidents are unfortunate.
