Gutted for him and his family. At least he can say he banged Ulrika, who was really sexy at the time

Former England boss Sven-Goran Eriksson says he has "best case a year" to live after being diagnosed with cancer.
The 75-year-old Swede was the first foreign coach to manage England and led the side to the quarter-finals of the 2002 and 2006 World Cup and 2004 Euros.
"I'm going to resist for as long as I can," Eriksson told Swedish Radio P1.
"I have an illness that's serious. Best case a year, I have worst case a lot less. It's impossible to say exactly, so it's better to not think about it."
Eriksson, who had a 42-year career in management, learned of his cancer diagnosis "almost one year ago" and stood down from his most recent role as sporting director at Swedish club Karlstad 11 months ago because of health issues.
"I live a totally normal life," Eriksson told BBC World Service's Sporting Witness.
"I'm not in hospital, I go now and then for a visit but I live at home and I have friends here. Christmas and New Year, the whole family were here - a lot of people.
"I'm going out to try and exercise as much as possible, which is less than it was one year ago, but I have a normal life.
"When you get a message like that, you appreciate every day and you are happy when you wake up in the morning and you feel OK, so that's what I'm doing.
"I thought I was fully healthy but suddenly I had a small stroke so I fell and my children took me to the hospital.
"After one day of examination they told me I had five small strokes, but said 'no problem, you will recover 100% from that', but worse is they said I have cancer which they can't operate on.
"They said they will give me treatment and medicine to try and live as long as possible. I have that diagnosis and they can't operate, unfortunately."
