Ringom grew up in Lillehammer, Norway, the son of author and
professional motivator Bjørn Ringom. Unemployed he decided to apply for
participation in the Norwegian Big Brother-show, ending up as the
youngest contestant in the house. As he himself put it: "At that time
of year (winter) I was going to stay indoors anyway!" After 100 days
the youngster had charmed his way into the heart of thousands of
viewers with his solicitious nature combined with priceless crazy
antics. He finally ended up the big winner receiving the prize money of
1,000,000 NOK (roughly $100,000). Shortly after his victory he was
approached by actresses Linn Skåber and Siw Anita Andersen to co-star
with them and the popular comedy group Lompelandslaget in their new
stage-show. The show would become a huge success, drawing thousands who
wanted to see more of the crazy antics of young Ringom (including
parodies on his former fellow contestants).
