Ulrika Jonsson gives herself a DIY makeover at home as she shares candid bathroom selfies

A slew of celebrities, including Jessie J, have been cutting their own hair during the coronavirus pandemic.

And Ulrika Jonsson appeared to try her own hand at a DIY home makeover on Wednesday night.

In a collection of candid before and after bathroom selfies, the presenter, 53, joked: ‘Pretty sure the (wo)manual says DON’T CUT YOUR OWN HAIR.’

Ulrika took to Instagram to post three different photos in succession as she showed off her signature blonde locks.

In the first two snaps, the mother-of-four highlighted the length of her hair as she posed in her mirror.

While in the last picture, Ulrika hilariously pulled an animated facial expression as she sported wet locks which appeared to be significantly shorter.  

It comes after singer Jessie J showcased her newly cropped locks on Instagram earlier this week after giving herself a DIY haircut at home. 

She wrote quipped: ‘I’m never going to change. It looks like life right now… Uneven. But man do I feel lighter.

‘NEEDED TO SHAKE MYSELF UP TODAY AND THIS WAS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED!! Sometimes you just gotta do it!! ‘The short bob is back baby yeah’ *Yes I did it myself*.’

She added: ‘Home hair cut by me. Appointments for haircuts by me now available on zoom… Monday – Friday. DM me for details.’ 

Earlier this week, Ulrika hit back at people who use the term ‘4×4 mum’ as she defended Stacey Solomon after a cruel troll criticised her family set-up. 

The TV presenter told how she was happy to read that Stacey, 31, whose three sons all have different fathers, defended herself when an internet user questioned her home life. 

Writing in her column for The Sun, Ulrika, who has four children with four former partners, told how she has been called a ‘4×4 mum’ numerous times over the years, saying it is term used to shame women.

She wrote: ‘For me, it wasn’t just about the humour of it. It was meant to injure. To hurt and, above all, to shame a woman. I didn’t particularly want to be associated with the label because I felt no sense of shame. At all.

‘My simple history was made to look and seem complicated by the fact that my life had worked out differently to normal expectations — to the “norm”.

She added: ‘The simple truth — which applies to both me and Stacey — is that we are good, caring mothers. We chose to have our children — we longed for them, regardless of the circumstances of their creation.’

Ulrika recalled how hurt she felt when, 12 years ago, she watched an episode of Loose Women where one of the panellists, who she did not name, said: ‘It must be like Euston Station at her house with all the kids coming and going.’

The presenter admitted the comment ‘burned’ but she was defended by then panellist Jane McDonald.

Ulrika had her son Cameron, 26, with her first husband John Turnball followed by daughter Bo, 21, with her ex Markus Kempen.

She welcomed daughter Martha, 16, with ex-husband Lance Gerrard-Wright and had her fourth child, Malcolm, 12, with Brian Monet.

Ulrika said she was always maternal and does not look at the end of any of her relationships as failures, noting she still co-parents Malcolm with Brian.
