Ulrika Jonsson proved age is just a number as she celebrated her 58th birthday by stripping down to a lace bra - showing off her incredible figure and radiant glow after ditching alcohol.

The Swedish-born star, who became a household name as one of the UK's most loved TV presenters, posed in a lemon-yellow bra that flaunted her bronzed tan and toned physique. 

With her blonde locks styled effortlessly and minimal make-up enhancing her natural features, Ulrika looked every inch the picture of confidence.

Marking the occasion with a candid post to her followers, the mum-of-four revealed she's feeling better than ever since turning her back on booze and focusing on her health. 

She shared: 'Here I am: 58. No filter. No make-up. Just me at 05:34hrs this morning.'

Despite admitting it was a quieter day than usual, with none of her children at home - Cameron, 30, Bo, 25, Martha, 20 and Malcolm, 16 - Ulrika said she wasn't letting that dampen her spirits. 

Instead, she enjoyed lunch with a friend and even spent time in the kitchen baking sourdough.

Reflecting on the past year, the star admitted it hasn't been without challenges but credited her sobriety and sense of self-love for giving her newfound strength.

'Another year has passed and it's been a largely good one. All the better for sobriety and spirituality,' she told fans.

Ulrika went on to share that for the first time in her life she feels truly comfortable in her own skin, saying she has 'fallen in love' with herself after years of ups and downs. 

'It may have taken 57+ years but I'm at my best now. I'm in my prime. I'm steadfast, anchored, solid and unwavering,' she wrote.

The TV personality, who has been open about her love life in the past, said she's embracing single life and sees it not as a failure but a triumph. 

She added: 'Being single isn't sad or desperate or a failure. It's victory over fear and loneliness. It's triumph over a need to settle for less than you deserve. It's peace.'

Ulrika - who rose to fame on shows including Gladiators and Shooting Stars before becoming a staple of British TV -  has been praised by fans in recent years for her honesty about ageing, relationships and sobriety. 

Her latest post struck a chord with followers, who flooded her with birthday wishes and admiration for her candid words.

They wrote: 'Ulrika you are simply stunning in every way'. 

'Happy birthday Ulrika, I've always admired you, watched you on tv for years and years, you are still a very talented,special and just amazing, gorgeous woman, great person, love you to bits ulrika, hope you have a fantastic day xx ❤️' 

'Ulrika you're beautiful and stronger because of life ❤️' 

'Good for you, well done and many happy years ahead.' 

The star rounded off her reflection with her trademark humour, joking that any potential suitors could still apply to date her, writing: 'Applications can be forwarded to 'Liberated Woman In Her Prime' and will be dealt with painstakingly and comprehensively.' 

Ulrika's post comes after she appeared on Spencer Matthews' Untapped Podcast makeup-free to film the podcast episode.

The television presenter received some trolling comments on her 'ageing' appearance so decided to hit back.

Some of the cruel remarks said she was 'over-tanned, imperfect and ageing', which she said made her 'heart hurt' and 'feel awful'.

Writing for The Times, she told how the 'nasty, vindictive and hurtful comments' flooded in as she hit back at the unkind trolls.

She wrote: 'I've fought hard against the whole perception of women being solely about beauty and image.

'I'm a practical woman and I come with a wealth of experience, kindness and intelligence.

'The fact that I now have wrinkles, lines and jowls should be of no consequence.I know I look older.

'But then I should: I'm a menopausal mother of four whose body and face has lived quite the life.'

She added that she had showed up for the podcast recording without wearing make-up as she had forgotten it would be filmed.

Ulrika went on to explain that while she has tried both Botox and fillers in the past, now she just wants to look her age.

She also praised actress Pamela Anderson, who in recent years has become known for making red carpet appearances without make-up.
