I'm having a breast reduction because my G-cup bust gets in the way,' reveals Ulrika Jonsson

Ulrika Jonsson is having a breast reduction after her chest grew to a 34I cup during her fourth pregnancy.

The 41-year-old, who gave birth to her fourth child Malcolm 10 weeks ago, says she's also having a lift because they look like 'ping pong balls in bin liners'.

She told GMTV today: 'I've been endowed with a rather large bosom, and when I'm pregnant and breastfeeding I go up to a 34I cup, I'm wearing a G cup at the moment.

Under the knife: Ulrika Jonsson told GMTV today she plans to have a breast reduction

'I've been thinking about it for a number of years, it's not something I've just thought of in the last couple of weeks.

'All other women are having augmentations, but I'm having what I call corrective surgery - I feel that I've done my bit for my babies.

'I've breastfed four children so basically my breasts look like ping pong balls in a couple of bin liners - they need a bit of help!'

But the TV presenter, who says she's put on five stone while pregnant, insists she won't be having any surgery on her face.

She said: 'I'm going to wait for my body to get back to normal, then I'm going to find the best surgeon in the country.

It's probably not going to look very nice afterwards, but at least they won't get in the way anymore. When I take my bra off they are literally on the road!

'But I don't think I would be too inclined to do anything to my face though, in case it went wrong.'

She also said she is looking forward to show her 'sexy side' again.

In a separate interview, Ulrika told Closer magazine: 'It's taken me almost 40 years to feel good about myself.

'I'm around a size 16 at the moment but, hey, I had a baby a couple of months ago, so I'm not worried at all.

Happy families: Ulrika Jonsson with her children Bo and Martha and new baby Malcolm

'In fact I'm enjoying not watching my weight and not struggling to be a size zero. I haven't got any clothes that fit me at the moment so I look crap every day.

'But I know it won't be forever. The sexy side of me will kick in again - it always does after I've had a child.'

She insists she is happier than ever after marrying her third husband Brian Monet, 39, an American art director, in March this year and she says he's the model new dad.

She said: 'Brian leaves me gobsmacked at what he's taken on.

'He'll play endless Barbie games with the girls. He reads with them, puts them to bed and cooks their meals.

Different looks: Ulrika has vowed her sexy side will return after having her fourth child

We work closely together to make sure the roles are balanced. He adores Malcolm and they're really bonding with each other.

'At first, I don't think Brian knew what to do because I was so involved with the baby, but now he and Malcolm smile at each other and really communicate.

'They've really bonded and Brian's perfectly confident about picking Malcolm up when he's crying and changing him.'

Ulrika has had three other children with different partners.

Her first child, Cameron, 14, was the product of her five-year marriage to cameraman John Turnbull.

Still in love: Ulrika and Brian pictured earlier this year

Her daughter Bo, seven, is from a short-lived relationship with German hotel boss Markus Kempen, and, Martha, four, was by second husband Lance Gerrard-Wright, whom she met on her TV show Mr Right.

She said: 'I'm finding the whole experience of having another son quite romantic, too.

It's reminding me of having Cameron and I'm just totally in love with this little baby.

'Brian keeps watching me as I whisper sweet nothings to Malcolm and he says: "Son, she used to look at me like that once!"'

Ulrika also explained how she is keeping things romantic with Brian, who she met in Sweden two years ago.

She said: 'We make sure we keep the romance alive by leaving each other notes and cards, flirting with each other and, above all, talking to each other as two adults, not just parents.

'The spark is there between us still - but give us a chance - we've just had a baby.'

The Swedish star was unflatteringly labelled '4X4' after announcing her pregnancy in October last year because she has had four children by four different fathers.

But she defended her unusual family environment.

She said: 'I know this is not the regular family set-up. But this is just the way life has unfolded.

'I didn't just sow my wild oats and bugger off.

'I've taken full responsibility for my actions, which is more than can be said for one of the fathers of my children, who couldn't be bothered to stay around for longer than two weeks.'

And she is certainly being kept busy by the five of them.

Ulrika said: 'I'm staggered by how much there is to do with four kids.

'But I love the mayhem of a big family - I seem to thrive on stress.'
