Annika Momrak will miss this week’s edition of Melodi Grand Prix. Sadly Annika has tested positive for Covid-19. There will not be a replacement and the show will be left in the very capable hands of Mikkel Niva and Kåre Magnus Bergh. It is still possible that Annika could appear digitally according to MGP Project manager Stig Karlsen.
Annika has commented on missing this week’s show telling NRK the following:
“Luckily there will be a proper show with Mikkel and Kåre Magnus on Saturday, and I can’t wait to get back to the party physically as soon as I’m well – because the party lasts several more weeks,”
