ULRIKA Jonsson broke down in tears this evening as she ended up getting friendzoned on Celebs Go Dating.
The 54-year-old was about to ask hunky Jad, 31, to come on a mini break with her after they enjoyed three dates together, but he shut her down, saying there “wasn’t a spark”.
He asked her: “Do you feel like something is missing?”
Looking really awkward, the mum-of-four said: “Like what?”
He replied: “Just a little spark between us, like I’m being honest. We’ve got along great as friends, but I feel like we’ve become good friends and I like it where it is.”
Ulrika took the news on the chin, but as soon as her best friend arrived she became overcome with emotion.
She told her pal: “I one hundred percent would have taken him on the mini break. I’m not going to pretend otherwise.”
And as her bestie gave her a pep talk she broke down in tears, leaving those watching at home gutted for her.
One person wrote: “Ulrika friendzoned, oh no. #CelebsGoDating
.”
A second added: “Oh no. Poor Ulrika. #CelebsGoDating.”
While a third commented: “Ulrika really liked him, sad times
#CelebsGoDating.”
And a fourth tweeted: “I’m devastated for ulrika #CelebsGoDating.”
Earlier this year, Ulrika revealed that she is keen to settle down and find love after revealing she was “done with one-night stands”.
“I was ready to mingle,” she wrote in her column in The Celeb Report. “I had a newfound freedom and, with my children being a bit older, a sense of independence. It energised me and catapulted me into a world of meeting, seeing, dating and having sex.
“I was not looking for a relationship. When you’ve been in one for a lengthy period, you crave space, time on your own, lack of commitment, freedom, a life devoid of boundaries and restrictions. An opportunity to breathe and spread your wings.
“What I’ve concluded is that sex and fun is . . . fun. It’s liberating, exciting and confidence-boosting.
“But it is not necessarily where I’m heading next year. I’m largely done with one-offs and rendezvous of brevity. I want more.”
