Writing in her column for The Sun, Ulrika denounced the misogyny of the situation after the actress faced a barrage of comments calling her “flat-chested” and mocking her “little t*ts”.
“Strange, indeed, to think that these men probably have two of their own adorning their cowardly, pitiful breasts.”
“And to think it’s 2022. What the problem with breasts is, I’ll never know. We all have them. And Florence seemed the epitome of beauty, class and purity, displaying and owning what was biologically and physiologically hers,” wrote Ulrika.

She continued that “breasts are not the only object of sexual satisfaction,” before explaining how close to her heart the #freethenipple campaign is.
She also took the opportunity to call out the social media platform Instagram, asking why “This platform can’t eliminate racism, but it can shut down a picture of a nipple. The inequality is there and everyone can see it.
This comes after Florence herself defended her dress – attacking those who chose to “publicly destroy a woman’s body”.
She wrote in a fiery Instagram post: “What was interesting to watch and witness is how easy it is for men to completely destroy a woman’s body, publicly, proudly, for all to see.

“So many of you wanted to aggressively tell me how disappointed you were with my ‘little t**s’ or how I should be ashamed of being so ‘flat’
“What was interesting to watch and witness is how easy it is for men to completely destroy a woman’s body, publicly, proudly, for all to see. Do you even do it with your job titles and work emails in your bio? Florence said further in her statement.
And along with Ulrika, a host of other stars also jumped to her defense – including Regge-Jean Page and Jessica Chastain.
Later in Ulrika’s column, she opened up about her own breast journey, admitting that her 2009 reduction was a long time coming because she “hated” them.

Describing that “it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made”, she explained that her goal was to get “a pair of Kate Moss”.
Having previously shared that her breasts had increased while pregnant, Ulrika admitted that she had grown to a 34L.
She then underwent a double operation that included a reduction mammoplasty (from 32E to C) and a mastopexy (breast lift).
Admitting that she initially wanted “small” breasts, the TV personality continued: “I had to compromise with a slightly larger pair to fit my figure, but this operation has changed my life and improved my relationship with my body.”
