Ulrika Jonsson has spoken out on social media in
the wake of Sven-Goran Eriksson's death on Monday. The 76-year-old former England manager lost his
fight with pancreatic cancer on Monday morning. When word leaked about Ulrika's scandalous
romance with fellow Swede Sven, who was then dating Nany Dell'Olio for a long period,
the story made headlines back in 2002. Ulrika seems to have overlooked the
football manager's passing and instead posted a message on Instagram
commemorating National Dog Day, despite Nancy and a number of
celebrities paying their respects to him. The celebrity, who frequently uploads
pictures of her cherished four-legged pals, posted a close-up of what looked to
be her dog's backside on social media and wrote that 'every day' was National Dog Day. Ulrika made her statement months after
she called Sven "not a decent person" after he disclosed that he had a terminal illness. In January, the TV host shared
a short message on Instagram following the former England manager's
revelation of the heartbreaking news. She said she didn't "have anything to say
about Sven" and called him "not a decent person" in the text that accompanied the old
photo of her that she posted to her Stories. The post said, "Look at me being all
young and all that," but it has already been removed. Okay. PSA. Regarding Sven, I have
nothing to say. #nada. Not a good individual. When they relocated to England
for Sven's team manager position, he had been dating 63-year-old
Italian lawyer Nancy for three years. But he had started an affair with
Ulrika at the beginning of 2002. 'I carried on my hunt for love, halting short
for a fumble between the sheets with a nearly 60-year-old, Sven-Göran Eriksson,' she
wrote later about their brief affair. Do you recall the former manager
of the England football team? "Yeah, but I'm also trying to forget it because,
let's face it, sex was about as exciting as putting together an IKEA bookcase. That's why
my case for a younger man is so compelling." Sven's girlfriend remained faithful to
him throughout the affair with Ulrika, but in 2004 he had another affair with Faria Alam,
the Football Association secretary at the time. Given that Faria had previously
had an affair with Mark Palios, the former CEO of the FA, the
second affair story made headlines. Sven was not married and didn't
hurt anyone when he talked openly about his affairs in an Amazon Prime
documentary on his life. Despite this, he maintained that "sex is one of the
good things in life for all of us." As a memory of their brief relationship, the television presenter and model has
preserved the Coutts check, remarking that "it might have been nice to fill it out at
some point for all the hassle he brought me." Speaking on August 16, following the release
of a brand-new documentary about his life, Ulrika described their 16-week romance as "no
great passionate affair." There was no passion in it. Despite his wealth and influence, he
was the weakest man I had ever encountered. "I don't think he had a romantic
bone in his body," she said, disclosing that their main conversation topic
when they weren't having sex was football. They had first met in 2002 at a party hosted by
spin doctor Alastair Campbell for Tony Blair, when the 34-year-old former weather
girl approached him and asked for an autograph. The 54-year-old Sven responded
in Swedish and requested her phone number. Then, while on vacation with Nancy,
he inundated Ulrika with phone calls complimenting her on how "beautiful" she was.
They got together and had sex when he got home. After that, they took a covert trip to
Sven's house in Portugal to spend time together "giggling all the way" when
they were between England matches. They went back home after spending the night
together in the opulent estate west of Lisbon. When I wasn't looking, he slipped a blank Coutts check into my pocket as we drove to the
airport the next morning. She stated, "He gave me a blank check that he slipped
into my pocket while I wasn't looking." Ulrika says that Sven left her "high and dry," but their four-month affair came to an
end when it leaked to the public. Ulrika stated, "She should be grateful for
me raising her profile," in reference to Nancy. After it made news, Nancy gained
instant notoriety. And she made good use of that. Without me, she would not
have been on Strictly Come Dancing. "He claims he was terrified to part from
her." Never in my life have I fought for a man. Although Nancy was clutching to Sven,
it's not like she should have been concerned. "I never asked him to leave her, so
he never promised to," the woman said. It happened when Nancy quickly changed her
poignant message honoring her former after inadvertently referring to him as her "husband." Nancy referred to the 63-year-old lawyer
as her husband in her poignant message, despite the fact that they were believed to have
never married during their ten-year relationship. Nancy posted numerous never-before-seen pictures
of the two of them on Instagram. In the caption, she referred to Sven as her "ex-husband," thought
back on the highs and lows of their relationship, and emphasized that "love never truly fades." She later modified the post to refer to Sven as her "ex-partner" after
retracting her earlier remarks.
