Concerned: GMTV presenter Kate Garraway, pictured leaving work today, said she and staff members were worried about Ulrika's Jonsson, seen arriving at the show last Tuesday
GMTV presenter Kate Garraway has admitted that staff were left 'worried' about Ulrika Jonsson's appearance when she appeared on the programme.
Ulrika, 42, left viewers and crew stunned with her skinny frame which showed off her bony chest when she was a guest on the ITV breakfast show last week.
And Kate, 43, said everyone was shocked at how much weight she had lost - although the Swede refused to talk about it on the show.
Writing in her column for new! magazine, she said: 'Ulrika Jonsson came on GMTV last week to talk about the new series of Shooting Stars.
'The show looks hilarious and Ulrika is clearly still up for a joke as ever.
'However, everyone was very worried about how thin she looked. She’s always been lean, but viewers were shocked at how much weight she’s lost.
'I asked her before we went on air if she was OK and she said she didn’t want to
talk about it on camera, which is her prerogative.
'She said that her life is really happy but busy at the moment, not least running about after her four children.
Gaunt: Ulrika showed off a bony chest and thin face when she appeared on GMTV on July 13
'I do hope it’s nothing more serious and that all she needs is her husband Brian Monet to make her a few meals and feed her up with a bit of stodge!'
Ulrika returned to the show where she where she first made her name as a weathergirl in 1989, and looked super skinny in a low-cut grey top and cardigan as she talked to Garraway and her co-host Andrew Castle.
When they asked her about family life with her husband, U.S. advertising executive Brian Monet who she married in 2008, Ulrika said: 'Yes it’s good, it’s very, very busy as you might imagine with four children and ranging in ages from sort of nearly 16 down to two.'
And questioned if she was going to stick with him, she added: 'Oh yes. Well I have to, he’s watching... He’s a keeper, as he said to me once. But no, he’s great.'

Monet is Ulrika's third husband after she first married cameraman John Turnbull in 1990 and then Lance Gerrard-Wright in 2003.
She had a highly-publicised affair with fellow Swede and former England manager Sven Goran Eriksson.
Ulrika has a 15-year-old son, Cameron, by Turnbull, daughter Bo from her relationship with Markus Kempen, followed by Martha, her six-year-old daughter by Gerrard-Wright.
Last August, Ulrika spent £11,000 on cosmetic surgery to help win back her figure after she put on five stone following her fourth pregnancy.
The surgery involved reducing her breasts from 34I to a more manageable 32C.

Meanwhile, ITV has announced they are dropping the name GMTV to re-brand the show as Daybreak for a fresh feel.
It will coincide with new presenters Adrian Chiles and Christine Bleakley arriving to the channel and will air from September.
Kate Garraway will be Daybreak’s Entertainment Editor and will conduct A-list star interviews, on top of covering exclusive showbiz events.
Garraway said: ‘This is a fantastic opportunity to spread my wings in an exciting new role.
‘Show-business is big business and Daybreak will be the place for all the big interviews and stories.’
