Today on TV | Maria Veitola goes to the night village again – Erika Vikman opens her home

Supplier Maria Veitola packs his pajamas again and heads to visit people he knows from the public Maria Veitola in Yökylä in the program. In the opening episode of the ninth season, a singer travels by Erika Vikman home.

One of Finland's most popular artists at the moment opens the doors to his first home, where he adorns the toilet wall Madonna's photo, and the wardrobe is full of different performance outfits, from corsets to boots.

Vikman is known as a flamboyant and outspoken artist, but according to his own words, he is almost a recluse, with hardly any visitors. He says that the gigs take up so much energy that he is hardly able to do social things on weekdays when he is tired. The apple of the singer's eye is the dog Peppi, who moved to Vikman when he was one year old.

“I don't like going out or doing so-called sports. 'in vain'. That's how I realized that the quality of life improves if I have a reason to go out the door.”

Vikman takes Veitola to the studio, where the singer's latest single is being finished. On the way home, we stop to pick up a crystal lamp, which the singer has bought from Tori.fi. Vikman likes online shopping and second hand.

Then the talk turns to love and Vikman's new boyfriend, whom she met on the dating app Tinder. The singer has said in interviews that she has been dating a man who works as a doctor for a long time.

“He's funny, smart, handsome… Our humor and all our chemistry work really well. You noticed it right away. We met very quickly, because I can't chat for long.”

Vikman says that he jumped on the train and went to meet a Tinder acquaintance. Right from the first meeting, her heart skipped a beat when she saw the man at the train station.

“I saw that he is about that tall. My heart just melted right away.”

Vikman says that the man is Veitola's age, i.e. around fifty, and in a life situation where he can fully invest in the relationship. Veitola, in her straightforward style, wonders if older men are to Vikman's liking.

“Older men are more charismatic, and they don't fuss anymore. I've never been attracted to people my age or younger. Maybe it's that I don't always feel that I'm balanced, so I look for that balance from someone else, Vikman reflects.”

This is the second time that Vikman is involved Maria Veitola in Yökylä in the program. Last time, the singer was seen in the series with his ex-spouse Ilkka “Danny” Lipsanen with 2018.

However, Danny or any other ex-spouse is not mentioned in the program even when Vikman tells Veitola about his former relationships.

He says that his moods change throughout the year, and in the singer's most auspicious seasons, his relationship is also put to the test. Vikman emphasizes that in a relationship you have to understand and endure the other person's down time, which will pass anyway.

In addition to love, Vikman openly talks about anxiety and depression in the program. He has given up alcohol and feels better than he has in a long time.
