Ulrika JonssonUlrika Jonsson has said she’s amazed she won Celebrity Big Brother - but the win means nothing compared with the joy of going home and seeing her children again.

The weathergirl turned TV presenter has said she “only did it for the money” - rumoured to be £175,000 for the 22 day run: “It was a job and it was an experience. I’m utterly, to put it in the words of [housemate Terry Christian], ‘Weirded out’.

“This is singularly the weirdest experience of my life and I’ve had quite a weird life. [But] I don’t regret going in. It was just an amazing experience. Weird but amazing.

“[And] I am really proud to have had a woman in the final because it was quite a male-dominated house.”

Ulrika’s husband Brian Monet was there to welcome her back to reality on Friday night but her four children stayed at home: “My children were at home asleep so I didn’t want to drag them out.

“Going home will be nice - it will be great just being with the family.”

Ulrika was escaped eviction three times during the show’s short run but received 56% of the public vote to secure victory, pushing Terry into second place followed by Coolio and Verne Troyer.
