Jenny Skavlan and Erik Solbakken will be 2013's hosts for the Norwegian Melodi Grand Prix.

The pair will host the final on February 9, which will take place in Oslo's Spektrum as it has for the past several years, as well as the three semi-finals in Steinkjer, Florø and an as yet unconfirmed third city.

Solbakken is best known to European fans as one of the three hosts of the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest (he's the one who was a man), while Skavlan presents extreme challenge show 'Freefall' on Norwegian channel Max.

The deadline for entries to the competition passed on 1 September, with a selection panel now choosing the 24 entries for the semi-finals.

Tooji won Melodi Grand Prix in 2012, and host Marte Stokstad was very very happy.
