Ulrika Jonsson’s bedtime issue as she details health woes after ‘broken rib’

Ulrika Jonsson shared she had a “broken and bruised rib” in a new health update.

Taking to her Instagram Stories on Tuesday evening the former weather presenter uploaded a photo while laying down as she sported a black vest top.

She captioned the snap: “Turns out: broken/bruised rib is also s**t for trying to sleep (as well as breathing and generally trying to function).

“Not my first broken rib rodeo… I might add.”

The 56-year-old did not provide any further details about her injury.

Bruised or broken ribs can be very painful, but usually heal by themselves, according to the NHS, and symptoms can include strong pain in your chest area, particularly when you breathe in.

Other symptoms include swelling or tenderness around the affected ribs and bruising on the skin.

Ulrika has been open about her struggles with “pretty horrendous” bouts of arthritis.

The former Gladiators host was diagnosed with the degenerative condition in both hips around six years ago but was told she has probably suffered most of her life.

The Sweden-born TV star finds it increasingly difficult to get out of bed or out of a car after long periods.

Speaking to The Daily Mail in 2022, she said: “The big thing is I work for the most time at home and I’m often sitting down writing and I just can’t sit down for long periods of time.

“I get up and move around I put my laptop into a standing position. It’s a constant negotiation.

“If I’ve spent two or three hours in a car getting into London it’s pretty tough. It’s like your hips seize and you have flashes of moments when you think, ‘I can’t move’.

“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.”
