TV presenter Ulrika Jonsson has dyed her hair brown, coinciding with her return to television this autumn.

Ulrika says that her husband Lance Gerrard-Wright loves the change.

"Lance thinks my new hair colour is really sexy and he really likes it," she told the News of the World. "He woke up in the middle of the night and went, ‘Oooh, who's that lying next to me?' It's all very new to us.

"I've always toyed with the idea of brown hair. Everyone in Sweden is blonde so, to me, brown hair is more unusual.

"If I'm honest, I didn't intend to go this dark—I think I'll end up a lighter brown. But with autumn coming I wanted a change. This month brown, next month - maybe pink."

Ulrika returns to our screens in October to present new Sky One reality show, The Match.
