Ulrika Jonsson has confessed that she often avoids looking at herself in mirrors due to ageing fears.
The 55 year old, who is known for her striking good looks and vibrant blonde hair, recently admitted that growing older isn’t “as fun as she hoped”.

Ulrika praised her and said she was “brilliant and stunning” but also confessed she felt it highlighted the struggle “the rest of us” face all the more.
