Ulrika Jonsson, 57, strips off for saucy shoot after vile comments about her appearance
Ulrika Jonsson looks sensational in new snaps in which she reveals her racy underwear. The mum-of-four, 57, insisted the eye-catching underwear from Swedish brand, Understatement Underwear, is "suitable for all ages" and "all shapes and sizes" as she sent a strong message to the haters.
Posing for a selfie in her bedroom, sporting the neon-yellow bra and knickers, which feature a delicate lace trim, the Shooting Stars star, captioned the snap: "Modelled by women of all shapes and sizes. Oh, and ages."
One photo revealed a hint of Ulrika's tattoo on her rib cage while another showed off her taut tummy and selection of gold chains as she posed to perfection. It comes after the star slammed vindictive trolls, who criticised her over her appearance.
It appeared that the lingerie was slightly sheer in the bright sunlight in the snap, but it didn't put Ulrika off as she shared her photos with pride. The Swedish-born star wrote: "Completely in love with my gift from Understatement Underwear. Beautiful comfortable Swedish underwear.
"Modelled by women of all shapes and sizes, oh and all ages."
The Gladiators star posted her photos after being forced to address 'vindictive' and 'nasty' comments made by online trolls after she appeared on a recent podcast to discuss her sobriety.
When Ulrika was invited on a podcast to discuss her journey, the comments about her drinking habits from the past went viral. But her appearance also soon became a major talking appoint among those who watched the recording of her being interviewed by former Made In Chelsea star, Spencer Matthews.
Many were left concerned and shocked over her appearance as they claimed she had 'drastically aged', while others took the opportunity to send the former presenter vile cruel comments.
And so this prompted the mum of four to hit back in style in a bid to silence her trolls, who saw her on the Untapped Podcast.
Writing in The Times, Ulrika defended her appearance, saying: "I've fought hard against the whole perception of women being solely about beauty and image. I'm a practical woman and I come with a wealth of experience, kindness and intelligence."
She added: "The fact that I now have wrinkles, lines and jowls should be of no consequence. I know I look older. But then I should: I'm a menopausal mother of four whose body and face has lived quite the life."
It came after the TV personality took to Instagram last week to silence the keyboard warriors, who decided to post nasty comments about her look.
Defending herself, Ulrika said: "In a few weeks I will be 58. I will never look like the fresh 21yr old that used to greet you first thing in the morning by the weather board. I'm not ashamed to say that I am a sun worshipper and will no doubt pay the price for that. But UV lamps and salt baths, astringent solutions and creams were a feature of my life since I was a small child."
She concluded her post adding: "I have uneven pigmentation doubtlessly not helped by ageing. I sometimes use filters in my pics because it's easier than foundation and less painful. I work tirelessly in my garden year round and often in the sun. I rarely sunbathe any more. Haven't had a sun bed for 6 months - which I do occasionally in winter months. Not ashamed."

Alex Kingston gets seal of approval from Strictly Come Dancing pro - 'Extremely cool'
Strictly Come Dancing has announced six celebrities who will be hitting the ballroom later this year, but one in particular has excited professional dancer Dianne Buswell Strictly Come Dancing's Dianne Buswel l has branded a 2025 contestant 'extremely cool' as Doctor Who enthusiasts were left 'screaming' following a major announcement. With mere weeks remaining before the annual BBC programme kicks off, the initial quartet of celebrities were unveiled on Monday (August 11). The opening reveal caught supporters off guard as Harry Aikines-Aryeetey was disclosed during an instalment of children's news show Newsround. Known as Nitro, Harry is most famous for taking part in the Bradley and Barney Walsh edition of Gladiators. Additionally, Harry is a multiple gold medal-winning Team GB sprinter, who became the first competitor to secure gold medals in both 100 and 200 metres at the World Youth Championships. "After the Christmas Special, it was so nice I just had to do it twice! I'm so excited to be part of the Strictly family this series and I'm ready to give it all I've got. I'll be bringing tons of energy to light up the dance floor. Let's hope I'm as quick picking up the routines as I am on the track," he said. Later during the evening, Strictly enthusiasts were urged to watch The One Show as three additional contestants were being revealed by Roman Kemp and Alex Scott. The opening member of the trio disclosed was Love Island champion Dani Dyer, with the daughter of EastEnders icon Danny Dyer wed to Jarrod Bowen. On joining Strictly Come Dancing, Dani said: "Getting the opportunity to be on Strictly is the second most amazing thing I've done this year! I feel very very blessed and cannot wait to get my dancing shoes on." The third and final celebrity revealed on the magazine programme was Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, a former footballer who represented Leeds United, Atlético Madrid and Chelsea during his playing career. Following his retirement, Jimmy has established himself as a recognisable figure in football commentary for leading UK sports broadcasters, taken charge of clubs including Burton Albion and Northampton Town and worked as an assistant coach with the England national squad. "Swapping the pitch for the ballroom is certainly not something I've done before but I'm looking forward to tackling a fun challenge! Bring on a new type of footwork, with hopefully no own goals," he joked. Nevertheless, it was the reveal of Doctor Who icon Alex Kingston that seems to have generated the greatest buzz across social media platforms. Following her rise to fame on the medical drama ER as Dr Elizabeth Corday, Alex went on to portray one of the legendary sci-fi programme's most beloved characters. Featured on Doctor Who from 2008 to 2015, Alex brought River Song, aka The Doctor's Wife, to life alongside three different Doctors on television and remains active in audio adventures and literary works. Alex has also appeared in Douglas Is Cancelled, Treason, Gilmore Girls, Boudica, Lost in Austen, Dodger, A Discovery of Witches, Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, and Arrow. Her impressive theatre credits include portraying Lady Macbeth and Nurse Ratchet in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. On the official Strictly Instagram page, Dianne, who claimed the Glitterball Trophy with blind comedian Chris McCausland last year, captured everyone's sentiments. She posted: "Extremely cool love this!" To which Alex, who is presently in Italy, responded: "So excited to get dancing!". Adding to the praise was Motsi Mabuse, who penned: "Welcome to the Strictly family, Alex! Can't wait to see your personality shine on that dance floor, here's to sparkle, rhythm, and unforgettable moments! Woop Woop." Countless Doctor Who enthusiasts couldn't hide their delight as they anticipate discovering whether Alex excels at dancing as much as she does at fighting aliens. @bobby_seagull declared: "Was such a big fan of hers on Doctor Who!" @mommagledders shared: "I love her so much! She would be great with Johannes!". @stephlhulme penned: "Ahhh! I am a big Whovian and this announcement has made my day." @richardfrankscomedy noted: "Such a cool signing." @giselle_barajas1234 exclaimed: "DOCTOR WHO FANS ARE SCREAMING. YES ALEX." @calum_creates suggested: "I know it's been done before, but please can Alex dance to the Doctor Who theme!"

Katie Price's ex Kieran issues public apology to Princess saying walking away from family was the ‘hardest thing'
KATIE Price's ex Kieran has issued a heartfelt public apology to their daughter Princess - admitting walking away from the family was the 'hardest thing he's had to do.' Kieran Hayler has publicly apologised to his former stepdaughter Princess Andre after she opened up about her unhappy childhood. Advertisement 5 Princess opened up about her tough childhood on her show The Princess Diaries Credit: ITV 5 Kieran made an apology to Princess after walking away after their painful split Credit: Getty Images - Getty The 38-year-old personal trainer told the Daily Mail he was deeply saddened by Princess, 18, revealing how tough things got after Katie's marriage to Kieran fell apart following his cheating scandals with multiple women. On her new ITV2 show The Princess Diaries, Princess recalled watching her mum Katie, 47, go through dark times — heartbreak, drug battles, PTSD, and even a suicide attempt — all triggered by the messy split. She said: "He was in our lives for five years, so we got really close to him, obviously we loved him, he did a lot of stuff and when they split up everything went downhill. "My mum was obviously heartbroken, she didn't deal with that the best way, she went through a very, very dark time which was understandable." Advertisement Now Kieran has admitted he "regrets" cheating on Katie — with her former best mate Jane Pountney and their ex-nanny Nikki Brown. He revealed it became impossible to shield Junior, 20, and Princess — whose dad is singer Peter Andre — from the fallout. Leaving the family home where he'd lived with the kids for five years was "one of the hardest things I ever had to do," he said, adding he's "deeply sorry" for letting them down. He said: "It makes me feel so sad. I am as sorry as I can be to Princess witnessing us go through such a horrible separation. Leaving them was one of the hardest things I ever had to do. Advertisement "I would love to apologise and really know how she felt during that time when mine and Kate's marriage broke down." Kieran confessed he's been watching Princess's ITV2 show and wants to reach out. EXC Princess and Junior Andre reveal deal-breaker demand for I'm A Celeb and why they don't care about 'nepo-baby' label He said he thinks he was the "best stepfather that I could have been," but he admits the bonds with his stepchildren have faded over time. He added: "Life moves on and you no longer play a role in their lives anymore." Advertisement But he saw Princess at a celebrity event in December and said: "We spoke to each other, I gave her a cuddle, and I would be exactly the same with Junior. Nothing ended badly between me and the children." Katie and Kieran tied the knot in January 2013, but their marriage only lasted five turbulent years before their divorce was finalised in March 2021.

Sophie Habboo cries ‘my teeth are rotting from pregnancy' as she claims they're ‘grey, frail & chipping'
TOOTH ROT Sophie Habboo cries 'my teeth are rotting from pregnancy' as she claims they're 'grey, frail & chipping' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SOPHIE Habboo has revealed she's battling an unexpected and rather grim side effect of pregnancy. The former Made in Chelsea star, 30, opened up on her NewlyParents podcast this week, admitting she's noticed a dramatic change to her once-perfect smile since becoming pregnant with her first child. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Sophie Habboo told fans her teeth are rotting through her pregnancy Credit: Youtube/ Nearlyparents 5 The star hosts the Nearly Parents podcast show with her husband, Jamie Laing Credit: Youtube/nearly parents 'The best thing about pregnancy is my teeth are rotting,' Sophie joked, before quickly clarifying it's no laughing matter. Speaking to husband Jamie Laing, she said: 'I've always had thick white teeth and these aren't veneers, these are my real teeth, but now they've gone a bit grey and see-through. "I can actually see my tongue behind them. They're so thin, they're frail.' The TV favourite went on to say she's chipped the same tooth three times during her pregnancy, most recently after biting into something as soft as cottage cheese. 'I don't understand what's happening,' she added. 'They're just breaking. My teeth are rotting from pregnancy.' But while Sophie's confession had listeners both shocked and amused, dental experts say she's not alone and the changes are down to some very real effects pregnancy can have on your oral health. The chat comes after Sophie and Jamie revealed they're expecting a baby, the same week they became the first married couple to co-host BBC Radio 1. The pair shared a sweet video of Sophie in hospital having a baby scan, with celeb pals like Molly-Mae Hague and Louise Thompson flooding the comments with congrats. Why pregnancy can play havoc with your teeth Dr Nyree Whitley, Chief Clinical Officer at mydentist, the UK's largest provider of affordable dental care, says hormonal changes during pregnancy can cause red, swollen gums, increased sensitivity, and even damage to tooth enamel. 'Pregnancy gingivitis is common due to increased levels of progesterone, which can inflame gum tissue,' Dr Nyree explained. 'This can make gums bleed more easily when brushing and make the teeth feel more sensitive or even loose. Jamie Laing reveals wife Sophie Habboo is pregnant with their first child "Hormone changes can also affect your reaction to plaque, so it's more important than ever to keep up your oral hygiene routine.' She added that while not everyone will experience such dramatic changes, those who do should seek regular dental check-ups, which are free on the NHS during pregnancy and for the first year after giving birth. Morning sickness, cravings and tooth decay Morning sickness can also pose a problem for mums-to-be. Frequent vomiting exposes teeth to stomach acid, which can erode enamel over time. 'If you are sick, avoid brushing for at least an hour afterwards,' Dr Nyree advised. 'Instead, rinse your mouth with water to neutralise the acid and freshen up with a sugar-free mint.' If yours lean towards sugary or acidic treats, try to limit them and opt for healthier alternatives where possible. 'Sugar interacts with bacteria in plaque to produce acid, which can lead to cavities,' she said. Grinding and postpartum care Disrupted sleep is another common pregnancy complaint that can lead to teeth grinding. In some cases, dentists may recommend wearing a mouthguard at night to protect your smile. And the work doesn't stop once your baby arrives. 'Hormones continue to fluctuate postpartum, so any gum inflammation you experienced may persist,' Dr Nyree said. 'Regular brushing, flossing, and check-ups are key.' Sophie may be taking her dental woes in good humour, but her warning to fellow mums-to-be is clear — pregnancy can do far more than give you swollen ankles and weird cravings. 'I can see my tongue through my teeth,' she told Jamie. 'That's how thin they are. It's terrifying.' With expert advice, a solid dental routine, and free NHS care for expectant mums, it's one pregnancy problem you don't have to simply grin and bear. Expert's three oral hygiene tips for mums-to-be Dr Nyree Whitley, Chief Clinical Officer at mydentist has advised expecting mums to do the following three things. Brush twice a day — Use a fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristled brush to avoid irritating sensitive gums. Rinse after sickness — Wait an hour before brushing to prevent acid damage, but rinse with water straight away. Watch the cravings — Limit sugary or acidic snacks and opt for healthier options like dark chocolate in moderation. 5 Sophie is expecting a child with her husband Jamie Laing Credit: Getty 5 The couple tied the knot in 2023 Credit: Getty
