Biography
Måns Zelmerlöw is a Swedish singer and television presenter who came fifth in Idol in 2005, won the first series of Let’s Dance, and had a hit in 2007 with “Cara Mia”, that year’s Melodifestivalen entry. Zelmerlöw hosted Allsång på Skansen from 2011 to 2013.
A third try at Melodifestivalen, with “Heroes” in 2015, led to Vienna and a win at the contest itself. A year later Zelmerlöw presented the contest from Stockholm with Petra Mede.
