Ulrika Jonsson has revealed that she did not get plastic surgery to look younger.

The presenter said that she underwent cosmetic surgery due to four pregnancies, a 34I bust size and a genetic back condition.

She told The Mirror: "My operation was nothing to do with ageing or looking more youthful.

"Having a breast reduction is something I would have done when I was 20 because I couldn’t bear my breasts - the size or shape of them.

"But because I knew I was going to have children there was very little point. I was too young anyway and, thankfully, the procedure has since developed greatly."

Jonsson added that she has never had a tummy tuck.

She said: "If I’d had a tummy tuck, I’d like my money back as I’ve still got a bit of a pouch and all the excess skin that’s been stretched."

Jonsson recently admitted that she feels happier having had surgery.
