"The reason I thought this is because I had not had sex for four and half years.

After announcing her divorce, Ulrika revealed she felt "rejected" and heartbroken after having sex with her husband just once in eight years.

"And the time before that was four years prior. I was living in a sexless marriage for nearly a decade...

"It felt... as if part of my life was over...

Ulrika revealed she had no idea why the couple's sex life vanished - they had the "normal distractions of life" like children and work, but insisted her "desire hadn’t waned".
