Ulrika set to marry her Mr Right

ULRIKA JONSSON is set to marry her Mr Right — the eligible bachelor she met while presenting a television dating show last year, her agent confirmed yesterday.

Ms Jonsson, who has suffered a string of high-profile failed relationships, started dating former Army officer Lance Gerrard-Wright after they hit if off during ITV1’s love search Mr Right, in which he was the prize.

But Mr Gerrard-Wright failed to find romance on the programme and soon became a familiar sight by Ms Jonsson’s side at celebrity events.

Her agent Melanie Cantor confirmed the pair were engaged after Gerrard-Wright popped the question last Thursday.

Ms Jonsson told the News of the World the proposal, on the steps of St Paul’s Cathedral in London, was “incredibly romantic” and she did not hesitate to say yes.

“We’re so in love and I’m so, so happy,” she said.

The couple, both 35, were yesterday visiting Mr Gerrard-Wright’s parents in Folkingham, Lincolnshire, to discuss wedding plans although a date has yet to be set.
