It comes after Ulrika revealed she was set up with men as young as 26 on the programme.
The star divulged she’s found it ‘refreshing’ dating younger men because they don’t know who she is.
The star was quizzed on Wednesday’s Loose Women about her love life while promoting the dating series.
The Sweden-born TV star began by explaining that while her three ex-husbands were her age, her recent dates have been up to 28 years her junior, the youngest admirer only 26.
She admitted: ‘Recent ones, I’ve only really had dates, I guess, I’ve not had a relationship with anybody – but the dates have been a little younger, yes.

‘They didn’t know I was Ulrika Jonsson, which was great.’
She added thoughtfully: ‘That’s the dream, to have someone just take you for who you are. I guess the youngest was 26. So yeah 26, 30 ish.’
The star is among the latest group of celebrities hoping to be lucky in love in the upcoming series of the dating show.
Of her ideal match, Ulrika said ‘variety is the spice of life’ and said she won’t be changing now she’s in her fifties.
‘If I’m too lively, too crazy for someone, then you’re not my guy. You need to be able to handle someone who is lively and is not prepared to go quietly into older age.
‘But you’ve got to have some conversation as well, right? That doesn’t always happen,’ she said candidly.
She went on to explain: ‘I’ve never had a type, so variety has been the spice of life.
‘I guess you could tick boxes and say this is what I’m looking for, or this is what I would like this person to have, but the second you see them come in you more or less know.’
Ulrika has been single since her 2019 divorce from third husband Brian Monet after the pair parted ways after ten years together. They have one son, Malcolm, 13.
