Model, telly star and indisputable icon, Ulrika Jonsson has that whole radiance thing nailed. The Gladiators presenter looks ruddy incredible at 56 with her trademarked blonde hair and sunkissed skin.

Now, Ulrika has shared all her current beauty favourites with Closer, sharing how the NIVEA Soft Moisturising Cream is one of her all-time favourite budget skincare purchases. At just £6.25, the age-old holy-grail moisturiser is a firm favourite with plenty of celebrities including Love Island winner Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu.

Speaking exclusively to Closer, Ulrika revealed, "Nivea Soft Moisturiser – it’s the only thing that’s touched my skin for years as my mum used to slap it on me when I was little."

The star also shared how she can't be without Body Shop's Tea Tree Shower Gel telling us, "I’ve used Body Shop for years and I’m really sad they’re closing."

Forever the overachiever, Ulrika also shared her brilliant and affordable hack for a natural gleam. Spoiler alert: it involves the UK's best-selling lip balm.

"I'm obsessed with Vaseline – I love dabbing it on the top of my cheekbones for a glow."

Genius. Who said you had to spend a fortune to emulate the celeb lot, huh?

Ulrika reveals how she prefers being low-maintenance nowadays, especially regarding beauty and fitness routines.

"I’m naturally looking knackered!" laughs the presenter, "I don’t exercise. I walk a lot and I’m out in the garden a lot. I used to be a real gym bunny and swim a lot but I don’t now. I do eat very well and really enjoy cooking. I eat well but beauty-wise, I’m positively the laziest person in the world. As you get older, putting on your make-up takes forever – you have to start like an hour and a half before.

"It’s just me and the dogs day-to-day so they don’t care what I look like. I make an effort if I’m going out and about as I don’t want to scare people!"

Listen, hun, we can relate.
