Ulrika Jonsson has responded to concerned fans after they reached out to ask if she was ‘okay’.
The TV personality, 53, sparked concern among her Instagram followers who claimed she looked ‘very slim’ and ‘unhealthy’ in a recent set of snaps.
The Swedish-British star put her trim physique on display in a grey suit which did wonders to hug her figure.
After laying eyes on Ulrika’s post, concerned fans reached out to ask the TV star if she was ‘okay.
One particular comment read: “Hello. Hope you're well. I just wanted to say you look so very slim and wanted to know if you are OK. You are a beautiful and amazing woman, but just thought how thin you are.”
In response, Ulrika admitted that she was perfectly healthy, albeit a little thin these days.
“I am a bit thin but trying to put weight on,” she replied.
It’s not the first time fans have shared their concern for Ulrika’s health and wellbeing.
In 2011, the much-loved star dropped to just seven and a half stone after a severe back condition.
The degenerative disc disease not only caused a lack of appetite but Ulrika was also left battling depression amid the chronic pain.
Previously weighing in at around nine stone, fans were stunned when Ulrika made an appearance on Good Morning Britain to discuss her condition where she looked thinner than ever.
Opening up about the painful battle, the star said at the time: “I had lost my hunger not just for food, but for life. Food is a happy thing for me and I was desperately unhappy, so there was no quick fix solution of hearty meals.
“I would estimate that at my lowest, I weighed around seven-and-a-half-stone.
“It was incredibly frustrating because the suggestion that I would risk my health for the perfect body goes against everything I've ever believed in.”
She went on to add: “I've never been obsessed about the way my body looks. All I've ever wanted is to be healthy because, without our health, we have nothing.”
The Mirror has contacted Ulrika’s representatives for comment.
