Ulrika Jonsson has admitted that she had panic attacks before and during her time on Channel 4’s Celebrity Big Brother.

Jonsson told Metro: “It took a long time to make the decision to do it. I was having panic attacks thinking about doing it and I was panic-stricken when I was in there.

“I was thinking, ‘I’m panicking, I’m having an attack, go and clean the kitchen to make it stop’. I had planned to be out in the first few days, so winning was daunting and completely unexpected.”

Of being nominated for eviction, she added: “I was quite grateful as I wanted to go home. And I do not care what they think about me. I don’t have anything to do with them anymore.

“It’s part of the game, people saying horrible things about you and you doing exactly the same.”

Celebrity Big Brother winner, Ulrika Jonsson has told Piers Morgan that she was to blame for being raped when she was only 19 years old.

The star appears on Piers ITV chat show ‘Piers Morgan Life Stories’ tomorrow night at 10pm and is said to have talked candidly about her ordeal, though at some points she was moved to tears.

“I felt I’d allowed myself into a situation which I shouldn’t have,” she told Morgan.

“I blamed myself.”

Jonsson described the rape which occured when she was working as a TVam weather girl. She said: “Afterwards I just lay there – and he said, ‘We should go to the cinema’.

“I said, ‘I can’t go’. I don’t remember what I said but I stayed and he left. I actually don’t think he realised what he’d done.”

She said she knew the man and was happy to kiss him, but was not in any sort of relationship with him.

“He was charming and very nice and then things started to happen very quickly,” she said.

“He got very amorous and I panicked because to me that was not what I was expecting.”

Ulrika Jonsson is reported to be at the centre of a bidding war for her second autobiography.

The Daily Star claims that after the TV presenter won Celebrity Big Brother last week, publishers are fighting to get the rights to her tell all book.

Jonsson’s first autobiography, ‘Honest’, claimed that she had once been raped by a British star and revealed the details of her affair with Sven-Goran Eriksson.

An insider told the newspaper: “She will have to pull something big out of the bag to top that.”

Celebrity Big Brother bosses are said to be thrilled that Ulrika Jonsson won this years series.

Verne Troyer was hotly tipped to win the show and bookies were backing him as the winner with Terry Christian to finish in second place. However on the night Verne finished in fourth place and Ulrika Jonsson won the show.

A show insider told The People: “It is good to get a shock every so often. The last series of Big Brother was incredibly predictable, as it was the previous summer. It’s quite nice when you end up with a result which takes some people unawares.”

The source added: “The bookies definitely got it wrong this time but maybe they were too hasty in going all out for Verne. After all, Ulrika survived the public vote again and again so there was always a core of support there for her.”

It’s been a helluva night folks, hasn’t it? I’ve just come back to my hotel room from the Celebrity Big Brother final and press conference.

Let me say first, that the highlight of the entire night was Jack Whitehall on Big Brother’s Big Mouth. Okay, as one journalist next to me remarked, he was swearing much more than usual, probably on account of the final night adrenaline. But that whirlwind performance and minor bitchfight between Tina Malone and Michelle Heaton was priceless. (I heard later on that Michelle broke down in tears during the commercial break and none of her housemates comforted her – a member of the audience did instead.)

Anyway, as you might have guessed, Ulrika Jonsson’s win tonight has caused many a tabloid editor to tear up the front pages declaring Verne Troyer the winner. But more than that, her downright refusal to answer questions about her private life meant that there were no juicy details to include in tomorrow’s papers. In fact, when it came to speculation on her fee, she started to become downright hostile – finally claiming that the press wouldn’t be asking a man that question.

I remember one journalist asked whether being apart from your kids for a few weeks was worth all the fretting and crying she did. Ulrika – quite rightly – rounded on the young lady and asked her if she had any kids, concluding that if she’d had kids she would not have asked that question and would have understood how hard it was. Score 1 to Jonsson.

It surprising that anyone got a word in edgeways, because a belligerent Coolio dominated any question that was asked, to the obvious annoyance of the other housemates (Terry, Ulrika, Verne, Coolio and Ben were all present). Coolio’s a funny guy, but I’m guessing that most people were wishing someone had switched off his microphone about halfway through the interview.

I’m glad I’m a blogger though, and not a tabloid journalist. Verne’s shock exit (fourth place? wtf?) totally threw everybody. Then when Coolio went out, everybody was shocked. Mostly at how Ulrika – who I’ll admit I thought was some kind of national pariah – had managed to stay in right to the end. I’m still baffled as to how she got that groundswell of support.

Lisa mentioned in her liveblog post that she was looking out for me in the crowd. I was a little surprised to discover that the press – like you at home – got to watch the show on TV in a little cafe-type building on the studio. Yes – despite the fact that Davina was rocking the stage not five minutes from where we sat, we were watching it on telly. Bizarre beyond belief.

But better yet, during Terry Christian’s interview, the television set was drowned out to the sound of fireworks. It was only then that I was aware of the 10-15 minute gap between recording and broadcasting that they use to cut out expletives. Basically, while you were watching Terry’s interview, Ulrika was in the process of coming out of the house. How weird is that?

On The Finalists

Here’s a little bit of my impressions of the final five housemates from what I experienced of them at the press conference:

On Terry Christian: Terry was exactly like you saw on TV. Down to earth, funny, the type of guy you’d like to go out for a pint with. Seems like a really decent bloke. As a settled family man, there was no scandal, and the press were left scratching their heads for questions to ask him – apart from the obvious ‘bring back The Word’ ones.

On Ben Adams: I’m inclined not to call being quiet or slightly dull a personality deficiency like most people. Ben seems to be a nice guy, he’s just not quick with the one-liners, especially in a house with characters like Coolio and Terry and Verne.

On Verne Troyer: Verne’s an interesting character. I suspect he’s spent much of his life being patronized, but still manages to take it with such good grace. He’s a shy enough fella, but has no problem standing up for himself – he took Coolio to task for answering a journalist’s question on his behalf.

On Coolio: No joke – you could literally hear Coolio before you could see him. It was how we knew the celebs had re-entered the Big Mouth studio for the press conference. He didn’t shut up during the entire session and was funny for about 35% of it. Much as the world will always be indebted to him for Gangsta’s Paradise, he’s surprisingly annoying – I wouldn’t want to be cooped up in a house with him for a month.

On Ulrika Jonsson: I want to give Ulrika the benefit of the doubt – she’s been burned by the press on many occasions, and her attitude toward the journalists was sharp and seemed unfriendly. If you saw her on Big Mouth you’ll know what I mean. It was like she’d done her job and now wanted to go home. But on the other hand, she may have been uncomfortable being the center of attention.

Either way, as the winner of the show, she didn’t give the journalists much to work with – to be fair, the lines of questioning were either about her family or private life or about her fee. But what else do you ask Ulrika?

I’m going to bed now…

…so I’m going to sum things up. In what was largely a fairly calm household, there were very few axes to grind. And the five celebs left at the end were seasoned enough to know not to give a scandal away for free. Let’s see what comes out when the megabucks rounds of interviews and magazine deals are done.

Anyway, having seen some of the highlights on the show this evening, the 2009 celebrity housemates did a damned entertaining job, didn’t they? I don’t need to read about them hating each other in the papers.

Congratulations to Big Brother though, for managing to bounce back so well. I think this series has proved that there may well be life in the old dog yet, and that it might still be too early to write the all-seeing eye off!

My one parting comment to you though – isn’t it funny how this year was so entertaining, yet there wasn’t one mention of ‘evil’ Big Brother? Maybe it’s time to retire that tactic…

Ulrika Jonsson has been announced as the winner of celebrity Big Brother 2009 and I never would have seen it coming. When the voting lines closed, Ulrika had received 56.7% of the total votes for the final two places.

Terry was the runner up with 43.3% of the total votes.

Verne Troyer was tipped to win the series with Terry in second place, who would have thought that a Swedish weathergirl would have beaten them both?

Is anyone out there an Ulrika fan? I don’t mind her but never would have voted for her to win. What was the appeal? Someone tell me please….

Here are some shots of the Big Brother celebs from tonight’s series finale!

Ben finished in fifth place, Verne in fourth, Coolio in third, Terry Christian in second and Ulrika won! Was anyone else surprised by the result?

Ulrika Jonsson must be getting really sexually frustrated in the Big Brother house. After being away from her partner for a mere three weeks, she is already having sexy dreams about another man.

She told Terry Christian today:

“I had a dream about you last night Terry. I don’t want you to get excited – it was probably a nightmare.

“We were lying, having a bit of a ‘getting it on’ kind of thing and then you said ‘it’s only the wine – I don’t really like you’.”

She must be getting desperate!

Coolio and Ulrika Jonsson are both up for eviction on tomorrow night’s live Celebrity Big Brother show.

The American rapper got three votes while Shooting Stars panellist Jonsson received four.

It’s going to be a big battle with the pair being two of the biggest characters in the house. I imagine Ulrika will be the one to go, simply because the house would be a boring place for us viewers if Coolio wasn’t around.

Who will you be voting out? Leave you comments below.

Celebrity Big Brother housemate, Ulrika Jonsson has come under fire this weekend from some of her fellow BB residents. A number of them think that she never should have left her seven month old baby to appear on the show.

Socialist politician Tommy Sheridan said: “Seven months is young to leave a child unless you have to. Lots of women don’t have the choice – they have to go back to work because it’s an economic thing.”

In fairness to Ulrika, she has made no secret of the fact that her decision to enter the BB house was made because of the economic benefit to her and her family. Rumours suggest that the Swedish TV presenter was paid a whopping £175,000 to spend three weeks on the show, a sum that couldn’t be turned down easily.

I think that people need to remember that Ulrika is not a single mum….not yet anyway. Her baby is currently being looked after by his father, the man who is jointly responsible for his creation!

Ulrika is not, as far as I can tell, inundated with offers of quality TV work, she has done well to so far avoid the sleazy MTV reality show route and I don’t think anyone can seriously criticise her for jumping at the chance to earn almost two hundred grand for three weeks worth of work.

So do you think that Ulrika could be classed as a ‘bad mother’ for agreeing to appear on the Channel 4 reality TV show? Let us know below…..
