CELEB Big Brother star Ulrika Jonsson has revealed how she believed for years that a traumatic date-rape ordeal was her own fault.
In a TV interview she said: ?I felt I’d allowed myself into a situation which I shouldn't have. I blamed myself.?


Fear

The tearful telly star told how she was so paralysed with fear during the attack that she could not tell the man to stop.

And incredibly when the attack was over her attacker suggested they go and watch a film.

In the interview with TV presenter Piers Morgan the mum of four emotionally revealed, ?I felt pain, physical pain.

"I just lay there. And he said ‘We should go to the cinema’.


‘ I don't think at that stage there was this definition of a ‘date rape’ – of knowing somebody, of trusting somebody and somebody not understanding when you say no. ’

?I said ‘I can't go’. I don’t remember what I said but I stayed and he left. I actually don’t think he realised what he’d done.?

Ulrika was only 19 at the time and working as a secretary.

Her attacker came up to her hotel room before a date they had arranged. She said she was happy to kiss the man, but things soon got out of hand.

She said: ?He was charming and very nice and then things started to happen very quickly.

?He got very amorous and I panicked because to me that was not what I was expecting.

?I panicked to the extent my voice wasn’t working – I couldn’t get anything out. I felt like I was screaming and saying ‘No, no, no!’ I probably was at the beginning.?

The 41-year-old explained that the full horror of the rape did not initially sink in: ?I'd only been sexually active for about a year and a half so this was quite an overwhelming experience.?

She said: ?I don't think at that stage there was this definition of a ‘date rape’ – of knowing somebody, of trusting somebody and somebody not understanding when you say no.?

Ulrika did not tell the police about her assault because she wrongly blamed herself – and continued to do so for years.

She said: ?I felt a bit foolish. I think that was the overwhelming feeling. I felt I’d allowed myself into a situation which I shouldn’t have. I blamed myself.?

Piers Morgan’s Life Stories – Ulrika Jonsson is on ITV1 at 10pm on Sunday 29 March.
