What's Ulrika Jonsson doing in 2020?
Ulrika has spoken openly about her struggles with lockdown and homeschooling her youngest son Malcolm, 11, who she shares with her former husband Brian Monet.
She told her Instagram followers that she 'doesn't do cycle rides or gaming', and that she cannot go on the trampoline with her son because of back and hip issues.
Ulrika wrote: "I'm not fun-mum. I can’t jump on the trampoline (backs & hips). I don’t do cycle rides. I can’t game.
"But I can listen. And I can show love and empathy. I can cook you food and moisturise your back. It’s just not as popular.
"And sometimes, just sometimes I want to be No.1 in the charts."
Does Ulrika Jonsson have a boyfriend?
In March, Ulrika revealed that she was still dating the man who helped her end her five-year 'sex drought'.
During an appearance on Loose Women, Ulrika said coyly that she 'might be' in a relationship with a man she'd slept with following a five-year period without intimacy.
She added: "I was really nervous about whether I'd even remember how to even kiss.
"Weirdly with age comes all the insecurities about my body and ageing and all that stuff, but there also came this amazing sense of freedom.
"I'm 52 and I just want to do what I want to do and I don't care what anyone thinks. He was sort of my age but a little bit younger."
