TALKS ULRIKA JONSSON
Glasgow life
Swede revenge
Ulrika Jonsson. Now there’s a woman with a story to tell. From growing up in Sweden to becoming the bit on the side of the England football manager, she's
certainly come a long way — or has she?
In the few years that Ulrika has been on our screens and in our tabloids she has managed to notch up an astounding number of relationships from hell. From the day she fell for the muscle bound Gladiator, Hunter, she seems to have fallen from one disaster to the next. Kiss and tells, being used as a punch bag by Stan Collymore, dumped by the father of her daughter Bo while still in hospital and finally having her affair with Sven-Goran Eriksson very publicly
outed.
Her career has also woven its way from ratings winners such as Gladiators and Shooting Stars to the not so successful Dog Eat Dog and How Do I Look? But as if her love life and career were not enough to keep her on her toes, she has also had the trauma of her daughter's illness.
With this much happening in her life, it is no surprise that she has decided to set the record straight (and make a few bucks) with her autobiography Honest. So is this a full stop finally being put to the gossip and rumours behind the life of Ulrika Jonsson? Is it snuff, since the book has come out, the rumour mill has been working over time about the well known TV celebrity she says forced himself on her, and that’s before we’ve even had a reaction from the Eriksson camp. It appears that Ulrika is not going to be taking this one lying down.
