Ulrika Jonsson has explained that she likes dating and sleeping with younger men because her sex drive is bigger than ever.
The 55-year-old TV personality claimed she was not a peer but confessed to dating “younger”.
Speak with Closer magazine, she said: “I’ve been dating for the past year and a half… As far as younger men go, it’s not so much about the preference for sex with them, but I’ve been dating younger.

‘I’m not age-related at all. I’m an equal opportunity dater, so apply anyway! I’m 55 now, but I feel reborn and energized!’
About her libido, she said: ‘I really still feel as naughty, stupid and ridiculous as ever. I have HRT [hormone replacement therapy] before menopause, but it hasn’t affected my sex life at all.
‘I’m still very excited. I would love to have someone in my life, but maybe not in a conventional way.”

Earlier this year, Ulrika offered an insight into her dating life when she revealed that she’d found it “refreshing” to date younger men because they don’t know who she is.
She was questioned in January on an episode of Loose Women about her love life while promoting the latest series of Celebs Go Dating.
The Swedish TV star started by explaining that although her three ex-husbands were her age, her recent dates were up to 28 years younger than her, the youngest admirer just 26.
She admitted: “Recently, I’ve only really been on dates, I guess, I haven’t been in a relationship with anyone – but the dates were a little younger, yes.
“They didn’t know I was Ulrika Jonsson, which was great.”
She added thoughtfully, “That’s the dream, to just let someone take you for who you are. I think the youngest was 26. So yes, 26, 30 years.’

About her ideal match, Ulrika said “variety is the spice of life” and said she won’t change now that she’s in her 50s.
‘If I’m too lively, too crazy for someone, then you’re not my man. You need to be able to get along with someone who is lively and unwilling to age quietly.
“But you also have to have a conversation, right? That doesn’t always happen,” she said candidly.

She explained, “I’ve never had a type, so variety is the spice of life.
“I think you can tick boxes and say this is what I’m looking for, or this is what I wish this person has, but once you see them come in, you kind of know.”
Ulrika has been single since her divorce from third husband Brian Monet in 2019 after the couple split after ten years together. They have a son, Malcolm, 13.
Her first marriage to cinematographer John Turnbull was in 1990 and they have a son, Cameron, 27.
