Ulrika Jonnson accidentally matched with an 18-year-old teenager on a dating website as the star says she forgot to set an age limit on her profile.
After mistakenly swiping right to the youngster who fancied himself a cougar, the former Gladiators, 54, claimed the teen in question “loved” the idea of the age gap,.
However, the former model felt it was a “step too far”.
In her column for The Sun, she wrote: “I had no idea how the process worked. But early on, when I matched with an 18-year-old, I immediately felt it was a step too far.”

With Ulrika’s eldest child being 27 years old, the former Celebrtiy Big Brother winner has previously expressed that an age difference doesn’t phase her.
But the charmer in question was just a little too young on this occasion.
She added: “I dismissed him because I felt that my oldest son being 27 should somehow shape my lower age limit.”
“Though, naturally, I don’t wish to appear ageist in any way, shape or form.”

Ulrika shared that the most enormous age gap she’d experienced was 27 years, sharing that she prefers to see the person for who they are rather than their age.
The TV personality, who makes light of being divorced three times, had once dated her Gladiators co-star, James Crossley – who is six years her junior, a she expressed she admired his personality rather than his body.
The TV star reveals that she’s not on the hunt for a ‘soul mate’, but rather someone who she can enjoy life with.

She says: “I’ve been there [married], and thrice bought the T-shirt. I was looking for fun, for someone who might enhance my life but not sustain it.”
Cheekily, The Sun columnist raised that she hasn’t completely ruled out a younger man, adding: “After all, you’re only ever as young as the man you feel.”
To the public’s knowledge, the last man Ulrika was dating, ended her five-year-sex break, following the end of her marriage to Brian Monet.
