Spencer Matthews responds to cruel comments about Ulrika Jonsson's appearance on his podcast after she hits back at 'ageist' remarks from trolls
Spencer Matthews Ulrika Jonsson 's appearance on his podcast on Monday. The former reality star, 36, had the TV presenter and model on his Untapped Podcast where she addressed giving up alcohol. However, Ulrika was cruelly trolled for her appearance on the podcast, which is also videoed and released alongside the audio. Previously hitting back, the 57-year-old explained how many of the comments said she was 'over-tanned, imperfect and was ageing'. Ulrika also pointed out how it's tiresome people constantly judge a women's appearance. Now, Spencer has spoken out as he jumped to Ulrika's defence in a social media post to his followers. Sharing a news article about Ulrika's appearance, he said: 'People shouldn't comment on the appearance of others. We stand with Ulrika.' The full statement read: 'We were honoured to have Ulrika Jonsson join Untapped for a powerful, vulnerable, and deeply honest conversation about her journey to sobriety. 'Ulrika's courage in speaking openly - not just abot her drinking, but also about ageing, health and self-acceptance, is exactly the kind of voice we aim to amplify on this platform. She showed up authentically and with no filter, and we're proud to stand alongside her in championing substance over surface. 'The episode is a reminder that true strength lies in honesty - not how we look, but in the actions we take, and what we choose to share. 'We're grateful to Ulrika for doing just that'. Ulrika had said after her appearance on the podcast: 'I feel I need to address something. I don't get a lot of nasty comments - or if I do, I don't see them or send people love in response. 'But a couple of weeks ago I took part in a fab podcast @ to discuss my sobriety with the smart @spencermatthews. 'I wore no make-up. Partly because I kinda forgot that a project for the ears is nowadays also a feast for the eyes. But as someone who has had to wear heavy make-up on screen from 5am for years, I'm not a fan. 'Most crucially tho, since childhood I've suffered from eczema. On my body - the creases of my arms and legs - on my face - eyes and lips. Make-up has always been the enemy because it's been agony to wear. 'There were a lot of positive comments about the WORDS I said on the podcast. But a considerable amount about my tanned appearance. 'AND how OLD I look. In a few weeks I will be 58. I will never look like the fresh 21yr old that used to greet you first thing in the morning by the weather board. 'I'm not ashamed to say that I am a sun worshipper and will no doubt pay the price for that. But UV lamps and salt baths, astringent solutions and creams were a feature of my life since I was a small child. I have uneven pigmentation doubtlessly not helped by ageing. I sometimes use filters in my pics because it's easier than foundation and less painful. 'I work tirelessly in my garden year round and often in the sun. I rarely sunbathe any more. Haven't had a sun bed for 6 months - which I do occasionally in winter months. Not ashamed. 'I have not had a holiday - of any kind - since 2018. That's 7yrs. So, I understand that an over-tanned, imperfect and AGEING face offends you. But try to listen to the words rather than constantly judge women's appearance. You might learn something. And making people feel s**t doesn't make you a hero.' During her appearance on Untapped, Ulrika revealed she gave up drinking 13 months ago and attends three AA meetings away. She admitted she struggled on the first anniversary of her sobriety buts said she was confident it would continue for good. When it comes to sex, Ulrika - who is single - said she wants a lot more, but she admitted she finds men less attractive when sober, and it's harder to end up in bed with someone - but she said when she does it is a better experience. Asked by Spencer on his Untapped podcast if she thought being sober was going to have a negative effect on her sex life, she said: 'Yeah - although I kind of knew that sex sober would be better. 'But of course all your inhibitions go when you've had a drink, so sex becomes easier to sort of facilitate or bring about, or participate in, but the enjoyment side of things is very different when you're sober. 'So that's been quite interesting too. 'I would never have had a date without having one drink. That's the lubricant. That's the social lubricant you just need to ease yourself into a date.'

Anger at ‘miracle' recovery of fans in disabled area at Oasis gig
A disabled Oasis fan has described the 'biblical' moment when seemingly wheelchair-bound concertgoers stood up and danced, amid fears that tickets for the disabled area had been resold to able-bodied concertgoers. Mark Chapman, 32, said that he had seen fans at Heaton Park in Manchester abandon their crutches and wheelchairs on the accessible platform when the Gallagher brothers took to the stage. He believes that fans desperate to secure tickets for the band's reunion tour had purchased tickets meant for those with genuine disabilities from online resellers. In a social media post after the concert, Chapman, who was diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy when he was five years old, wrote: 'The behaviour of some attendees was unacceptable as they clearly weren't disabled. 'They were literally just standing for the whole time, they kept leaving the [accessible] platform and joining their friends in front of the platform and leaving their wheelchairs behind and crutches behind, and [again] when they went to the toilet. 'It's really frustrating. I could see people in front of the platform who were clearly struggling who had to stand there without a seat, and there were people on the platform who didn't need to be there.' Accessible area tickets for the show were available on the secondary resale site Viagogo for £634 each and were sold in pairs, according to reports. • Chapman himself struggled to get tickets for the accessible area and ultimately had to buy standard tickets for himself and his carer Sam Priest, who would normally be given a companion ticket free of charge if booked officially. Chapman, a podcaster, said: 'There were loads of people in wheelchairs and with crutches, but when Oasis came on they all jumped out their wheelchairs and dropped their crutches and stood up for the whole gig for two hours. 'Me being quite severely disabled, I know that standing up for two hours is very, very unlikely.' Priest added: 'We were joking Jesus Christ must have been on the platforms, there were so many miracles performed that night.' Chapman, of Wilmslow in Cheshire, was later able to get a refund for Priest's ticket after he contacted organisers to explain the situation and had to join a waiting list to enter the raised accessible area on the day itself.
