TV GIRL ADMITS ERIKSSON AFFAIR

TV personality Ulrika Jonsson admitted in 2002 that she had a relationship with England coach Sven-Goran Eriksson. While Eriksson refused to acknowledge the affair with his blonde fellow Swede, the former TV weather girl spoke out to end the frenzied media interest. Saying the relationship with the coach almost twice her age was over, she also denied issuing Eriksson with an ultimatum to leave his long-term partner Nancy Dell’Olio for her. Eriksson maintained he would not comment on his private life.
