Lizzie Cundy has hit back at Ulrika Jonsson's claims that she 'blamed' her for Sven-Goran Eriksson's affair while he was dating Nancy Dell'Olio.
The former WAG, 54, made an appearance on a documentary about football manager Sven's affair with Ulrika, 55, which was exposed in 2002, while he was dating Italian lawyer Nancy Dell'Olio, 61.
Ulrika then hit back at the Channel 5 show, called Scandal: When Sven Scored with Ulrika, and accused Lizzie of 'blaming' her for Sven having an affair, saying it was 'pathetic sexism'.

But in response, Lizzie has insisted she didn't blame Ulrika for the affair 'one bit' in her comments, describing herself as a 'girl's girl' and said it was Sven, 74, who was in the wrong because he was the one in a relationship.
The TV personality candidly admitted she knows what it is like to be cheated on but said she wouldn't want to 'pin' the women involved against each other, and instead criticised Sven's 'poor behaviour'.
She told MailOnline: 'I didn't at all blame Ulrika for the affair one bit. Sven was the one in the relationship, not Ulrika. I've been in Ulrika's shoes where someone has had an affair on me.'
Lizzie went on to insist that she had been very 'complimentary' of Ulrika in the documentary as she hit back at the TV presenter's claims that she had 'blamed' her.

'I thought I was very supportive of Ulrika and I'm all for women, I'm a girl's girl and I've also had the men cheat on me and I know what it's like on the other side,' she added.
She continued: 'I was blaming the man and I was blaming Sven, I'm very much a girl's girl, anyone who knows me, knows that, I've had it when men haven't treated me well.
'I think it's unfair for Ulrika to say that, because that wasn't the case at all if she watches it. The thing I spoke about was the poor, bad behaviour of Sven and I was very supportive of her. But I could understand why he fell for her.'
Lizzie and her ex-husband Jason Cundy went their separate ways after 16 years of marriage back in 2010.

Their marriage came to an end amid claims that he had cheated on her with opera singer Hannah Pedley. The pair are now married and share a son.
Lizzie's latest comments came in response to Ulrika's criticism of her remarks in the Channel 5 programme, entitled Scandal: When Sven Scored with Ulrika.
Writing in The Sun, Ulrika explained that she had been approached to take part in the documentary but decided not to, concluding that she had 'no need to revisit that time'.
She went on to fume over Lizzie's appearance in the documentary, accusing her of 'pathetic sexism' by 'blaming' her for Sven having an affair while he was dating Nancy.

Speaking about the documentary, she said: 'We were fed a diet of rent-a-gobs like Lizzie Cundy talking about the romance of it all and telling the world about the nicknames I had for Sven.
'Which is kind of odd, because as I've never spoken to the woman. I guess whatever keeps you current, Lizzie.'
