Ulrika Jonsson, 58, poses topless on girls' trip to Greece - after revealing she is working on 'reversing decades of skin damage'

Ulrika Jonsson, 58, has shared a racy topless snap on Instagram during her lavish girls' trip to Greece. 

The TV legend sent temperatures soaring as she posed with only her arms preserving her modesty - although she still gave a generous glimpse of her bust. 

She had a sarong wrapped around her hips and covered her face with her phone - making her cleavage and taut stomach the focus of the snap. 

The star added a simple caption reading: 'Hot potato', before posting a snap of her bikinis drying in the sun and the idyllic views of her trip.  

Ulrika was showing off her trademark dark tan - in the past revealing her passion for sun-worshipping and how UV rays are her 'drug of choice', however she vowed to kick her habit'. 

Last month she wrote for You Magazine: 'I loved – and still do – how sunlight lifts your soul. As for premature ageing, it wasn’t something I dwelled on in my 20s. I used SPF, but not religiously – if I went on holiday I wanted a tan...

'As a Nordic child who might only see five to six hours of daylight in winter, I sought out and worshipped the sun whenever I could...

'I now have a greater respect for my skin. I have not sat in the sun since the day I met [surgeon] Dr Dhillon and I will never use a sunbed again. The miracle is that since I’ve had help with my skin, I’ve been wearing SPF every day – even through winter.' 

In March, Ulrika shared exactly what cosmetic work she has had done to her face as she continues on working on reversing 'years of sun damage'.

She said: 'I aged badly and really hard actually. Historically, societally, women have been expected to go into old age quietly and I refused to do that.'

As footage played of the Swedish native receiving her procedures, she continued: 'I've not felt as excited about anything in years as excited as I do about this...

'It's not about looking younger, I don't want to look 21, I don't want to look 31, but I want to look the best that I can for my age.'

Ulrika started by receiving biostimulators, which are non-surgical treatments designed to stimulate the body's natural collagen growth.

She was then given Evolus Dermal Filler, which is hyaluronic acid fillers that treat moderate to severe wrinkles and folds on the face.

As well as her addiction to the sun, Ulrika has recently celebrated two years sober, and said giving up booze felt like a 'spiritual awakening'.

She said she went from 'not wanting to live anymore to trying to squeeze every moment out of life' after giving up booze.

The star is about to mark two years of sobriety after hitting rock bottom and wishing 'the drink would take her' and has opened up about her progress on the In Recovery Ark House Rehab podcast. 

She said: 'I had a spiritual awakening - really it's just like I was waiting for this my whole life [going sober].

'I felt safe after my first meeting. I felt like I belonged there after my first in person meeting. There is so much in the programme that should be taught in schools. I pass on bits to my kids.

'It completely changed me. It has the ability to change you as a person and it felt like I was waiting for this my whole life. Life will throw stuff at me still but now I deal with it in a completely different way.

'I went from not wanting to live to now wanting to squeeze every moment out of my life. I missed having some kind of faith. The programme was spiritual for me.'

She also opened up on how things went downhill so fast, explaining: 'The public saw someone in control of their life and being fun. There was this battle between the public me and private me.

'My drinking only really got bad in the two years up to my sobriety. I used it as a mood alterer. It eased the bridge from public me to private me. It was fun in lockdown and I was a bit hedonistic.

'But then it pulled the rug from under me and I knew I shouldn't have been doing it. I was shocked how quickly it deteriorated. I never thought that would be me. I quite enjoyed the white lies as I got to create a different world that facilitated the drinking.

'Deep inside I was hoping the drink would take me. That's the only way I can articulate it.

'I was hoping that one day it would just be so bad that I wouldn't wake up.'
