Irma was too sad to tell her son about her mother’s death. Marko, who was in Finland at the time, heard the sad news from his sister. Marko was shocked, because his grandmother had been very important to him.
– It was really tough. I remember running straight into the woods and just kicking a tree. I cried so much that snot flew, Marko recalls.
Marko believes that his grandmother would be proud that Irma has become popular among Swedes at the age of 68.
With the series, Irma became a real popular favorite in Sweden. The program was even awarded at the Kristallen gala as Sweden’s best reality TV program in the summer of 2023.
The program follows the duo’s house building project, along with which they talk about their lives. For example, Irma has openly talked about her alcohol problem and her former relationship with a violent man in the reality show.
