Presenter Niko Saarinen38, has stayed in public about her father. Saarinen tells Iltalehti that his father had already changed when he moved out of Uusikaupunki with his mother.

– I grew up without my father, says the presenter.

According to Saarinen, the father has not been present in his life in 2008 Big Brother after the program. At that time, 21-year-old Saarinen had not told her father that she was going to the program, nor her homosexuality.

Saarinen also mentions Mari Koppinen written by Mari Koppinen Niko – all I haven’t told -The new book (Otava) that his father took his son from the closet so hard that he had been on sick leave.

– It’s probably been tough to read and hear that information about magazines and TV. It must have become offended by why his or her own child could not believe in telling him, but does it in public. The older I have become, the more I understand the reactions of my father at that time, the presenter to Iltalehti.

– Of course, I am annoyed by my youth when I went to BB and my interval was basically broken throughout my family. You can’t get those years back. But maybe such bitterness should be released, he says.

Saarinen says he has met his father for the first time in his grandmother’s funeral for the first time.

– It had had a break in between for 10 years. Of course, it has changed our relationship. But of course I love my dad and he, but we are not as closely dealing with my mother.

– Sometimes I am annoyed by how things have gone. But I hope everything has its purpose. Of course, I hope that the relationship between me and my stroke could be better, he says.

Saarinen says she knows that her father has nothing against her sexuality or publicity.

– We do keep in touch, we send messages to each other, Saarinen assures.

The mother of Saarinen Outi Mykkänen60, has occasionally appeared in his son in somme. In addition, Outi has been competing with her son Race Across the World in the reality program.

Outi told Iltalehti in the spring that she was looking for a common home with her new husband in Helsinki so that her mother could be closer to her son.
