TV favourite Ulrika Jonsson is no stranger to speaking her mind on her topical and controversial issues. The star, 54, has chosen to share a personal experience of abortion and revealed the decision “was my choice”. Talking openly in her column in The Sun, Ulrika openly explains that that there was “not a moment’s doubt in my mind” over the decision.

The Sun.The star went on to brand the potential ruling "shocking and dangerous" as she argued that it's "detrimental" for women to have no say over their bodies.Ulrika has been married three times, the first to John Turnbull who she shares son Cameron with.The star then married Lance Gerrard-Wright who she welcomed daughter Martha with.Most recently, the star was married to American advertising executive Brian Monet, who she shared son Malcom with, before splitting in 2019.Brian also adopted her daughter Bo from the presenter's relationship with German hotel boss, Markus Kempen.The star's brave words come days after anti-abortion activist and pro-abortion rights supporters took to the streets of Washington on Tuesday after news that the U.S.Supreme Court may overturn the 1973 Roe v Wade ruling which legalised abortion nationwide.If Roe is overturned, abortion is likely to remain legal in liberal states as more than a dozen states currently have laws protecting abortion rights.Numerous Republican-led states have also passed various abortion restrictions in defiance of the Roe precedent in recent years.Ulrika's comments come after she hit back at the stigma around her arthritis following a "really tough few years".In an exclusive interview with Express.co.uk, Ulrika said: “I’ve had this back problem, that’s never going to go away either, and I had a few really tough years.“We talk about ageing, but pain and pain management is something people maybe don’t like to admit to.“We still slightly associate it with moaning, but we all have some sort of pain at some stage," she added.

Ulrika Jonsson has taken to Instagram to show off her trim figure in a story post that highlighted her natural beauty.In the snap, the television presenter posed in a mirror wearing a black vest top which displayed her toned arms, covered in tattoos as they held her phone.She paired the look with dark trousers, wore her voluminous blonde hair in loose waves and accessorised with gold jewellery.Jonsson added in the caption: “An hour to go on air,” and tagged Talk TV.In another stunning snap, Ulrika could be seen pouting as she rode in a vehicle, wearing a black scarf and minimal makeup.Her striking blue eyes were the focus of the picture and her bronzed glow was complemented by the icy blonde hair.She captioned the post with a cryptic message: “Had a bit of a drama with a yellow tit earlier,” and wrote the hashtag “say no more”.Prior to her selfies, Ulrika shared a picture of the Talk TV logo and told her 191,000 followers that she was “on the way” to the studios.She added a video of the London Eye and covered it with The Clash’s London Calling.The 54-year-old also posted another cryptic message to her story which read: “Have you ever noticed that sometimes when you stop making efforts, a relationship or friendship ends? It was because it was never two-sided, it was just you.”The former Gladiators host owns four bulldogs and loves to update her fans on their lives together.One of her pups has recently celebrated their birthday and Ulrika shared pictures of her pampered pooch.The star added a snap and called him “beautiful” as she told her fans it was his “fifth birthday”.She then dressed him up in an orange ribbon and wrote that he “hates her so much right now” for his new outfit.Another picture of the pup showed him

Ulrika Jonsson has offered up her sympathies for TV star Helen Skelton after it was announced she'd split from her husband Richard Myler.The shocking split comes just four months after the Countryfile star welcomed her third child with Richard into the world - beautiful baby Elsie Kate.Helen and rugby star Richard also share two other children together Ernie, six, and Louis, four.The Sun recently reported that Richard had already "started a romance" with a new woman, with the pair now thought to have jetted off on a romantic holiday together.Addressing the situation, Ulrika who has had her fair share of heartache over the years, said she was "truly sad" for Helen after being "abandoned after birth".

Ulrika Jonsson fears Gladiators will never be revived because of health and safety rules.The star, who hosted the hit show in the 90s, thinks it would be seen as too violent for today’s climate.She said: “People are so into fitness nowadays so it would be really interesting to have the show back on TV. I think it’s an awesome format.“But having said that, God knows what health and safety would make of it.

Speaking to BBC South West, the MP explained: "The situation was that - funnily enough it was tractors I was looking at."I did get into another website that had a very similar name and I watched it for a bit which I shouldn't have done."But my crime - biggest crime - is that on another occasion I went in a second time.”Asked if that was intentional, he said: “That was deliberate...

Eurovision was the highlight of her career.The TV star, 54, presented the song ­contest alongside the late Terry Wogan, inset with Ulrika when it was last held in the UK in 1998.More than 200 million watched her broadcast live from the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham.Ulrika told the Daily Star Sunday: “As a small child in Sweden, I used to watch the Eurovision.“When we knew it was coming to the UK, I was very keen to get the job.“I spoke to my agent about it and I said, ‘I’d love to host it and I’m ­bilingual’.“It is the only job I have ever asked for.”When chosen to present the contest, Ulrika could not believe her luck.She added: “I can’t even begin to say how excited I was.“I’d watched it for years, so to then think that I was hosting it… it was genuinely a dream come true.”However, while hosting the contest, Ulrika caused a stir as she appeared to make a dig at the presenter reading out the scores from Holland.When Conny Vandenbos explained she had previously been a contestant, Ulrika asked her: “A long time ago, was it?”Fans were convinced it was a slur and reacted in shock. But Ulrika now sees the funny side.She said: “I knew this lady had been at the Eurovision years ago – and I said it was quite a few years ago in quite a lovely way.“People took it as me casting shade on her, which I absolutely wasn’t ­because I’m an absolute champion of older women.“But you have to have these ­moments from Eurovision.
