Updated 12:15pm on 20 Mar 2008


Ulrika Jonsson's ample cleavage drew more attention than an issue she was trying to get off her chest in a TV appearance today.

The 40-year-old former weather-girl, currently expecting her fourth child, showed she is wearing pregnancy well with a low cut top revealing her bounteous bust.

Getting it off her chest: The presenter lamented the poor standard of maternity care in the NHS

It proved to be quite a distraction for another guest on BBC2's Daily Politics Show who could be seen taking a sneaky peak at the presenter's chest.

Ulrika, who married her third husband Brian Monet, 39, earlier this month, was on the show to raise awareness of the state of maternity care in NHS hospitals.

She has had three children, all by different fathers, at NHS hospitals and said while her personal experiences had been "variable" the standard of care can be "shocking".

She said: "I've heard some truly terrifying stories of women being denied pain relief through 28-hour labours, being forced to leave hospital far too soon after birth, some even requiring counselling after botched births."

She called for a Mother's Charter to give pregnant women better NHS care.

A good friend's sister recently had an awful experience during an NHS birth. She had a long and painful birth in a curtained area - no privacy - just inadequate staffing levels, lots of physical pain and post natal depression. The results on her and her family are unbelievable and quite disgraceful. This government have so much to answer for. As a British taxpayer I really do wonder how the money is spent. Just where is it going? Perhaps the NHS should be limited to British people.
