Ulrika Jonsson

Ulrika Jonsson

What she’s famous for:

Swedish born TV presenter Ulrika shot to fame on British TV as a weathergirl in 1989. She became a presenter of hit shows such as Gladiators, The National Lottery, Eurovision and Miss World. 

She has also been the long running team captain and butt of all the jokes on Shooting Stars with Reeves and Mortimer.  She has also appeared on Dancing on Ice and Comic Relief Does Fame Academy.

Her personal life has always fallen under much scrutiny as she has been married four times, having a child with each of her husbands, and has had relationships with numerous high profile men including footballer Stan Collymore and Sven Goran Eriksson.

What she’s remembered for:

Ulrika won celebrity Big Brother 6 after creating some classic BB moments in the house such as singing Endless Love with Verne Troyer and her fractious relationship with Coolio. The unassuming winner admitted she only took part in the series for the money but says it is one of the weirdest but best experiences of her life. She constantly prepared herself for eviction and never thought she would win, but did so with 57 % of the final vote. As results were announced, Ulrika said "Oh my god, that's bonkers".
