Former GMTV host, Fiona Phillips, has said that she is rooting for former weather girl, Ulrika Jonsson to win this years Celebrity Big Brother series.

In her column for The Mirror Phillips said:

“No matter what else happens in 2009, Ulrika Jonsson has to win Celebrity Big Brother.”

She added: “Ulrika has weathered more bouts of heartache and desperation over the years than you’ve had turkey sandwiches this Christmas.

She’s bounced back every time because she’s a fighter and, as she told me recently, she does everything ‘for my babies’.

“Ulrika will be the lioness among a pack of celebrity fame scavengers. And I bet she emerges with her pride intact.”
