New mum Ulrika: Happy to be fat

18 Jun 2008

Television presenter Ulrika Jonsson has claimed she is happy to have given her body up to pregnancy and that she does not mind being called fat.

In an interview with Hello! magazine, the 40-year-old explained that after giving birth to her fourth child, Malcolm, she is going to be very relaxed about getting back in shape.

Reported by the Daily Mail, she said: "I am nearly 41 and have just had my fourth child.

"If my body doesn't bear the hall marks of that, then what was the point of having the children? It might be harder to get back in shape this time but I am not obsessed about it."

Ulrika added that she gained five stones in weight during this pregnancy and that her breasts are now an I-cup since the milk came in.

However, she said that she is content with being called "weighty" by the media as she does not think it is natural for women to go straight back to being a size 10 after having a baby.

Lisa Scott-Lee, former Steps singer, recently told the Sun that celebrity mothers are putting pressure on real mums to lose their pregnancy weight rapidly.
