Ulrika Jonsson branded herself ‘filthy and impatient’ in a special post marking her 55th birthday.
The TV presenter shared a string of snaps on Instagram, where one saw her flipping the bird in a mirror selfie and another modelling a ‘fem-uh-nist- tattoo on her arm.
Sharing a sweet message to herself, Ulrika told her followers: ‘HBD to me!!!
Newest member of Club 55.’
‘I’m smart. I’m funny – peculiar AND haha. I’m kind. I’m generous. I’m lively and opinionated. I’m stronger than you could ever imagine.’
She added: ‘I’m impatient. I’m filthy. I’m perceptive and know you better than you know yourself. I’m a lover not a fighter. But if you push me, I’ll fight like a lion. I’m a proud feminist.’
The Swedish native, who shot to fame as the presenter of Gladiators, also revealed how excited she was to ‘carve a new life for herself,’ and insisted she’s not the same person she was in her ’20s, 30s and 40s.’
She continued: ‘I want to love and be loved. But rather be on my own than suffer fools.
‘I make good sourdough and good love. And I still hate goat’s cheese.’
Fans and celebrities rushed to wish the TV personality happy birthday, with Celebs Go Dating co-star Ryan-Mark Parsons writing: ‘HBD! 😘’
Married At First Sight star Nikita Jasmine commented: ‘HBD YOU SEXY MUMMA! I LOVE YOU 🫶🏾❤️❤️❤️.’
Ulrika has been open about her attitude to nudity and embracing her body.
She told The Sun: ‘I grew up with parents who were stark b*****k naked at every given opportunity, especially in the heat of the summer because, fundamentally, that is how us humans are supposed to be.

‘Our bodies should not be inhibited by clothing or trapped by beachwear.’
Ulrika revealed that she would like to start a movement to ‘free the body’ and librate people from feeling self conscious about being seen naked.
However, she joked that her own kids ‘scream in abject horror and run for the hills’ when they see her walking around the house nude every now and again.
