Svante Stockselius, supervisor of the Eurovision Song Contest at the European Broadcasting Union, became father! He told that to the website Gylleneskor.se.
“It happened very quickly. It only took two hours after we arrived at the hospital. He didn't want to miss the Junior Eurovision Song Contest I guess… Child and mother are well. And I am in a happy mood”, Svante said.
About the name, Svante got some funny recommendations from his EBU colleagues: “My colleages at the EBU suggested Ruslana Sertab if it was a girl, and Björn Benny if it was a boy. But finally we settled for Samuel”. Though, Svante will be present at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest to fulfill his duty.
