The joke viewers didn’t get to see in Mello
“I didn’t eat anything”
– I was ecstatic, I had so much fun the whole evening. I forgot that I have problems with vertigo and danced and let loose, Gunilla told The Express.
The Hollywood wife had so much fun that she forgot to eat.
– Everyone was so lovely and wonderful to me that I didn’t have time to eat. I didn’t eat anything.

As Saturday turns to Sunday, Gunilla Persson is reminded of one thing: It is her mother Iris first birthday since she passed away last year.
– There is a life after death, it is a wonderful life for her now. But it’s hard for me. I know she is in a better place with dad. I will celebrate her today, she tells the newspaper.
