Marie Fredriksson on TV show about Sanne Salomonsen

Marie Fredriksson appeared shortly on the  Danish TV show “Her er dit liv” (Here’s your life, DR) greeting Sanne and wishing her a fantastic night and ending the message saying she misses her so much! Sanne gets very emotional and talks a bit about what Marie has been through in the last 10 years, as well as herself and how they have both fought their way back to life.

Thanks Stina for the information!
