Television presenter and model Ulrika Jonsson said she feels as though her body is 'falling apart' due to arthritis. The former Gladiators presenter gave an update on her health condition as she nears the stage of getting a hip replacement.
The 54 year old opened up about the pain she suffers and how it affects her sleep, reports Birmingham Live. “When I'm in bed, of course if you do fall asleep you're probably lying in a pretty stationary position, and sometimes I struggle to get that first movement out of my body," Ulrika told the MailOnline.
“Nobody likes to lose sleep, it's so debilitating. I go through periods of time when it's pretty horrendous.” Speaking about having a hip replacement the star added: 'I've got a couple of friends who have had hip replacements and they're a bit older than me and I just thought that's not really something I want to be contemplating already. It definitely was one of those things where you go 'it's a slippery slope to old age'.
“For me it was a bit of fear and panic because you just think it's not really something you can halt. This is a sign that my body is falling apart.”
