Tanned and with a broad smile on his face. Line Andersen (50) confidently meets us in the venerable Gimle Kino in Oslo.
These days you can follow her as one of the participants in “The Game” on TV 2, and the former NRK profile smiles widely.
– It is without a doubt one of the most fun things I have done in my adult life. I had so much fun from start to finish.
– Being allowed to be a woman with intellect, with strong opinions, strategy and the right to take her place – it’s a matter of struggle for me. I was allowed to do that in “The Game”. And I loved it from morning to night. It was the 12 nights in 2023 that I slept the best, says the tough TV profile.
GRATEFUL: – Being part of “The Game” is something I am grateful for. Firstly, that TV 2 gave me the opportunity to play in the madness in there, secondly, that the people who were in there were lovely, and thirdly, that I actually found the tone with them, says Line Andersen to Her og Nå .

Future TV plans
This is the second time the ambitious 50-year-old gets to play in a reality show in prime time. In 2022, she took part in an arduous journey to the North Cape in “71 degrees north – Norway’s toughest celebrity”.
As far as future TV plans are concerned, she is currently keeping her cards close to her chest.

– We are working on some projects, me and some key people. Then it is not certain that it will go through. Life doesn’t stand and fall on me being a presenter again, but I still feel I have something left to do, admits Line.
It was just before Christmas in 2019 that the sports journalist disappeared from the screen at NRK. The conflict between Line and her former employer ended up in court – before the parties reached a settlement in May 2021.

In retrospect, she has, among other things, been responsible for the Alpine broadcasts for Discovery during the Olympics in Beijing.
– I would have liked a different end to my career. That’s why I don’t want to say that my career is over, because I still want the other ending.

Turned 50 years
Since we last saw her, Line has turned 50. A lot has changed in her life since the trial in 2021, and no matter how cliché it may sound: She has never been better.
– When I sat on my mother’s deathbed three years ago, I learned never to speak badly of a single day in your life. The fact that I am now 50 years old, plus a few months, only means that for every single day I get, I live. And I intend to do that to the fullest. I love being 50, just as I loved being 43, 31 and 24. So it turned out to be a really great party! she laughs raw.

– From time to time people say that they have never felt better in their life, but I really have never felt better! My life has taken a whole new turn and I love it. It is about the fact that I have been given new tasks and a career, and that I have a completely different lifestyle that is far more active and vigorous than before. Then it’s about the people I’ve chosen to have around me, who are absolutely amazing.

Grateful
Where others had taken the trip to the basement, Line has gone the opposite way. The tough times have given her the courage and strength to look up and stand even more firmly in who she is today.
– I think you have to be able to endure going for a spin, and if you make an assessment then, you can come out of it very well. It could also have gone badly, but in my case I have come out of it extremely well.
– It must also be said that my move was self-chosen, and I would choose it again and again – every single day for the rest of my life.
The journey she has left behind in recent years has made her stop and enjoy even the little things in life.
– Gratitude is a key word in my life right now. My psychologist said early on: “It has been proven that the happiest people are those who are most grateful.” I can feel immense gratitude for a glass of soda, a sunset, a walk on the town or an evening in front of the TV.
– But there is no doubt that it is the people around me that I am most grateful for. That will never change. I’m so grateful for so much right now, I’m almost annoyingly newly saved.

In love
Line laughs again. She talks to her flock as often as she has the opportunity. The ones who have lifted her up when she has needed it the most. Those who have been there through joy and sorrow. A life partner, on the other hand, she has so far not had time for.
– When you change your whole life, you must first find yourself. And it’s been a pleasure finding “Line” – I love her. It’s also the best thing I can do for a future partner; to be someone that I myself think is absolutely wonderful to share with someone, Line nods with a glassy gaze.
– So no, there is no one in my life now – but I’m not looking either. I am not dating and am not on any dating apps. It comes when it comes. And if it doesn’t happen, I won’t complain about being single either. I’m single, but I almost never feel alone, she said when we spoke to her earlier this year.
In a recent episode of the podcast “Ida with the heart in the hand”, Andersen reveals that she has now fallen in love. The case was first discussed by TV 2.
– Are you in love?, asks podcast host Ida Fladen.
– Yes, maybe a little. but that doesn’t mean I’m in a relationship or will be. But I’m actually a bit in love.
However, she is unsure whether she is open to a new boyfriend.
– I don’t think so. There is more “work to be done” on this girl here, before I am completely sure, again, who I am, Andersen says in the podcast episode.
The final of “The Game” is broadcast on TV 2 on Sunday at 8 p.m.
This case was first published on 09/05 2024.
