From grocery shopping to cooking, buying and wrapping presents, Ulrika revealed she barely has time to breathe at Christmas.

The star said she normally does a big Swedish Christmas, but in reality she finds playing happy families at Christmas tiring.

She admitted, “Someone always had a problem with someone else and playing happy families is exhausting.”

She continued: 'The reality (of Christmas) brings so much tension that I'm tempted to get sick.'

Ulrika added that the commercialism and pressure society puts on Christmas makes her feel overwhelmed.

The star has been married three times and has four children.

Ulrika is mum to Malcolm, 15, Martha, 19, Cameron, 27, and Bo, 23, but says her children now dictate their own Christmas

Last month, Ulrikka said she feels sexier than ever at the age of 56, after learning exactly how to feel good about herself.

The television presenter emphasized that growing older is 'fantastic', despite society suggesting otherwise.

The former Gladiators host claims that feeling good about yourself doesn't come from wearing a little black dress and makeup, but from simply learning how to put aside what is not useful to herself in life .

She wrote inside The sun: 'Maybe easy to say, but it really is the truth. The “sexyness” I'm talking about doesn't come from an LBD, sexy underwear, heavy makeup, or a new trendy haircut.

'It comes from deep within. It comes from recognizing that I now really know what I want in life – it's not something that gets blurred by the lines of demanding offspring or an inept partner or even a desire to please other people.

'No, it comes from realizing that I don't have time for BS in my life anymore.

“If it comes near me, I'll turn it down, because honestly, this time it's about me.”

She added, “That journey is one of self-confidence and assertiveness, which in turn turns into allure and magnetism.”
