Ulrika Jonsson says cheating on John Turnbull was the ‘dumbest’ thing she’s done

Ulrika Jonsson has written an open letter to Amy Nuttall, 41, after it was reported that she’s taken back her husband Andrew Buchan. 

As a condition of taking back the Broadchurch actor, 44, after his rumoured fling with co-star Leila Farzad, 39, Amy has reportedly laid out “seven strict rules” to save their marriage. 

But Ulrika, who has been married three times, has given out some advice based on her own experience cheating on her husband. 

In her column, she wrote: “I was unfaithful in my first marriage some 30 years ago.

“It was an infidelity of the heart and never got as far as an ongoing affair because I just didn’t have it in me. But I can categorically say it was the dumbest, most selfish decision I’ve ever made,” she added for The Sun.

She went on to describe her unfaithfulness as an “action of immaturity and greed”.

She continued: “We tried to put our marriage back together because my ex-husband’s sense of forgiveness was robust, tenacious and steadfast.

“He was clear that he would not use my past actions as a stick to beat me with as we moved forward. But I hadn’t properly resolved the issues I had with myself and so, over time, the marriage failed.” 

Ulrika and John were married from 1990 to 1995 and share one son, Cameron, 28. 

The TV presenter also has three other children from other relationships. They are: Bo, 22, Martha, 17, and Malcolm, 13.

After splitting from John, Ulrika famously married Lance Gerrard-Wright after meeting him on 2002 reality show Mr Right.

Following their split in 2005, the columnist married her third husband, Brian Monet, in 2008. They split in 2019 after 11 years of marriage.
