Ulrika Jonsson 'proudly flashes her nipples that look like tablets on an ironing board'

Ulrika Jonsson has said she will be following in the footsteps of actress Florence Pugh and 'freeing the nipple'.

This comes as Florence took to a red carpet in a pink dress that was sheer over her chest which has caused controversy.

Ulrika has said Florence deserves a 'round of applause' after her brave move.

Florence has received backlash after wearing the daring dress, with some calling her 'flat-chested'.

However, Ulrika told The Sun that "Florence looked the epitome of beauty, class and purity, showing and owning what is biologically and physiologically hers."

The TV presenter said she has been at the end of backlash in the past when she's had a 'nip-slip' on Instagram so can relate to the nasty comments Florence has received.

Ulrika said: "I’ve been given a scolding on Instagram when I’ve acciden­tally had a nip-slip. It’s beyond ridiculous.

"This platform can’t weed out racism but it can shut down a picture of a nipple. And the inequality is there for all to see. We’re quite happy for men to parade around revealing their saggy boobs.

"We admire the taut pecs of the men on Love Island on our TV screens every night. But if a woman goes topless, all hell breaks loose."

Ulrika opened up about having a breast reduction and being 'desperate' for smaller boobs.

When she was 41 the star decided to have the surgery after asking for a pair of 'Kate Mosses'.

She described it as 'one of the best decisions she's ever made'.

The 54-year-old said the choice was 'going against convention at the time' as other women were getting surgery to get bigger boobs.

Despite not being able to go as small as she wanted due to her frame, she still says the surgery changed her life and improved her relationship with her body.

Florence posted to her Instagram about wearing the sheer dress where she posted a statement about the backlash she'd received.

She said that she there was 'no way there wouldn’t be a commentary on it' and 'was excited to wear it'.

The actress talked about how she was grateful that she grew up in a household with very 'strong, powerful, curvy women'.

Florence wrote: "I’m very grateful that I grew up in a household with very strong, powerful, curvy women. We were raised to find power in the creases of our body.

"To be loud about being comfortable. It has always been my mission in this industry to say 'f*** it and f*** that' whenever anyone expects my body to morph into an opinion of what’s hot or sexually attractive. I wore that dress because I know.

"If being loudly abusive towards women publicly in 2022 is so easy for you, then the answer is that it is you who doesn’t know."

She added: "Grow up. Respect people. Respect bodies. Respect all women. Respect humans. Life will get a whole lot easier, I promise. And all because of two cute little nipples…."
