Sven-Erik Sjögren’s entrance to Hotel Romantika was startling to say the least. 72 years old, but with a mankini and sex pills in the suitcase. During the program, Sven-Erik’s unfiltered personality has attracted criticism, but in the TV box he has become a strong character. News24 have spoken to Sven-Erik, who is now responding to the criticism.

Criticism of Sven-Erik in Hotel romance: “Embarrassing”
Sven-Erik attracted a lot of attention when the women found an envelope with “sex pills” in his pack. Carmen, 63, was the first to meet Sven-Erik and she was not impressed.
– Sven-Erik, he was like his bag. It was so much, much, much. Too much, Carmen, 63, said after the meeting SVT.
When Sven-Erik also showed up at the trip’s first singles party wearing a mankini, several women raised their eyebrows.
– Did he want to shock us? Is he supposed to look like that, or is it a plow thing? I didn’t understand what he was after. It was repetitive, said Diana65, after the mingle to SVT.

Criticism of Sven-Erik in Hotel romance 2024: “Too much”
Not going to watch the program
Sven-Erik himself has not seen the program, and does not seem to have any plans to do so either.
– I’m not in the mood. It’s good as it is, says Sven-Erik to Nyheter24.
He says that many people come to him with opinions after the first episodes are broadcast on television. Sven-Erik believes that he mainly receives positive criticism from viewers, but that he rarely remembers what he said or did in the program.
– I get so many funny comments on the side. It might sound a little silly, but both famous and unknown people come up to me and ask about things I’ve done in the program. I don’t know how others who are on TV are treated, but I have no clouds in the sky.

Sven-Erik responds to the criticism: “Of course I’m provoking”
Sven-Erik understands that some of the ladies were shocked by his entrance, but he does not agree that it was inappropriate. He believes that part of making good television is to provoke.
– It is clear that I want to provoke with horny pills. Hell no one comes up with someone who is like lukewarm cream milk. I provoke, says Sven-Erik and continues:
– Then the women get a little cocky and spill some coffee on the dress. It’s funny.
As for the mankinin favorite garment, Sven-Erik was inspired by the comedy film Borat. He thinks the mankini is both fun and flattering to wear.
– If I may joke a little, I am Sweden’s most handsome and most fit 72-year-old, without a doubt. Then I can show it off. When Borat wore a mankini it went well, so why shouldn’t Sven-Erik Sjögren from Hisingen be allowed to wear it?
