Ulrika Jonsson stripped down to her underwear in an array of cheeky mirror photographs as she hit back at cruel trolls who commented on her appearance.
The Gladiators star, 57, took to her Instagram on Friday to show off her new delivery from Understatement Underwear.
She showed off her toned figure in a mesh neon green two-piece set from the Swedish lingerie brand as she posed up a storm in the mirror.
Gushing that she was 'completely in love' with the gift, she wrote: 'Beautiful, comfortable Swedish underwear,' as she plugged her PR package.
She also hit back at trolls who made cruel 'ageing' comments about her appearance as she cheekily wrote the look was modelled by people of 'all ages'.
'Modelled by women of all shapes and sizes. Oh, and ages,' she penned in a pointed caption.
Her remark seemed to be a nod to the trolling she faced after appearing on Spencer Matthews' recent Untapped Podcast.
The television presenter hit back at 'nasty and vindictive' comments on her 'ageing' appearance after she went makeup-free to film the podcast episode.
She was hit by cruel remarks that she was 'over-tanned, imperfect and ageing', which she then said made her 'heart hurt' and 'feel awful'.
Writing for The Times, she told how the 'nasty, vindictive and hurtful comments' flooded in as she hit back at the unkind trolls.
She wrote: '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.
'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.'
She added that she had showed up for the podcast recording without wearing make-up as she had forgotten it would be filmed.
Ulrika went on to explain that while she has tried both Botox and fillers in the past, now she just wants to look her age.
She also praised actress Pamela Anderson, who in recent years has become known for making red carpet appearances without make-up.
It is not the first time Ulrika has hit back at trolls as she previously addressed the unkind criticism in an Instagram post.
She said in one post alongside a selfie: 'I feel I need to address something. I don't get a lot of nasty comments - or if I do, I don't see them or send people love in response.
'But a couple of weeks ago I took part in a fab podcast @untapped.podcast to discuss my sobriety with the smart @spencermatthews.
'I wore no make-up. Partly because I kinda forgot that a project for the ears is nowadays also a feast for the eyes.
'But as someone who has had to wear heavy make-up on screen from 5am for years, I'm not a fan.
'Most crucially tho, since childhood I've suffered from eczema. On my body - the creases of my arms and legs - on my face - eyes and lips. Make-up has always been the enemy because it's been agony to wear.
'There were a lot of positive comments about the WORDS I said on the podcast. But a considerable amount about my tanned appearance.
'AND how OLD I look. 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.
'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.
'I have not had a holiday - of any kind - since 2018. That's 7yrs. So, I understand that an over-tanned, imperfect and AGEING face offends you. But try to listen to the words rather than constantly judge women's appearance. You might learn something. And making people feel s**t doesn't make you a hero.'
Podcast host Spencer has also defended her after she was trolled, writing: 'People shouldn't comment on the appearance of others. We stand with Ulrika.'
