Ulrika Jonsson has claimed the late disgraced Australian entertainer Rolf Harris groped her early on in her career when he appeared as a guest on a show she was working on.Harris died aged 93 on May 10, and in her column for The Sun newspaper on Saturday, Ulrika, 55, said the incident allegedly occurred on a day when Rolf was the showbiz guest on the former ITV breakfast programme TV-am where she worked as a weather presenter at the time.She wrote: “The studios were laid out such that it was impossible not to bump into guests during the live show.

I felt quite enamoured to be introduced to him. This was Rolf Harris, for goodness sake.“I reached out my hand and he chose instead to embrace me.

I remember thinking that was either really flattering or a bit forward. Either way, it was confusing.“Then his hand travelled down to my bum, gave it a few squeezes and stayed there for what felt like years but was probably only 30 seconds," she added.“But it was long enough for my 21-year-old self to feel deeply uncomfortable, and speechless.“I know I won’t have been the only one who fell victim to his hands.”Jonsson added that people “didn’t pipe up or call anyone out” at the time, especially if they were of a celebrity status.“We may have come a long way in making that kind of behaviour unacceptable but we still have miles to travel”, she noted.Following the disgraced star's death, presenter Vanessa Feltz also said she felt Rolf “knew” she “couldn’t do anything” about him allegedly groping her live during a segment when she was presenting Channel 4’s morning talk show The Big Breakfast – which previously aired from 1992 to 2002.Recalling the incident on This Morning on Wednesday, Vanessa said “she could hear” her dress being
