Ulrika Jonsson has gone on Celebs Go Dating to find a man who will treat her as a 'normal person'
The 54-year-old TV presenter has joined the latest series of the popular E4 dating show ‘Celebs Go Dating’, three years after her divorce from third husband Brian Monetin, to try to give her chances of finding love a boost.
Speaking at the ‘Celebs Go Dating’ series launch in London, Ulrika told BANG Showbiz: “At some point it would be nice to have someone in my life.
“But when dating It’s a weird thing when they know more about you then you know about yourself and they’re telling you about yourself.
“There is an imbalance there and you basically want to find somebody who’s not phased by who you are, who just treats you like a normal person so you’re on an even playing field.”
The former 'Gladiators' presenter also admitted she is a big fan of dating apps, but she is still learning how to "sort the wheat from the chaff".
She added: “Dating apps are not an organic way of meeting people at all but they are the modern way.
“I don’t go out, so unless you’re putting yourself out there then it’s hard to meet people.
“You meet people when you go to work or whatever, I don’t go into an office five days a week. I don’t come into contact with different people. So it is definitely a numbers game. I think you've got to learn how to sort the wheat from the chaff.”
Ulrika - who has been married three times - previously admitted she was "enjoying" being single, but she wanted to get "back on track" with the help of 'Celebs Go Dating'.
She said: "Three years ago I got divorced, I hadn't anticipated being single at my age. I'm enjoying it but I look forward to working with Anna and Paul, I'm sure they will have me back on track to finding love in no time."
The latest 'Celebs Go Dating' series started on Monday (17.01.21), and airs Monday to Thursday on E4.
