Myleene signed by M&S for 2008? - Nov 20 2007
Myleene Klass has reportedly been such a hit as one of the faces of M&S that the firm have offered her a £1 million deal to star in their ads for another year.

It seems the new mum couldn’t appear in the Christmas advert - which features Twiggy, Erin O’Connor, Laura Bailey, Liz Jagger and Noemie Lenoir - because of her pregnancy. However, apparently it hasn’t put the high street store off.

"Myleene was gutted she couldn’t do the advert because she was heavily pregnant at the time," an insider told the paper.

"But after seeing the results of her in that red dress on billboards, M&S are more than keen to have her back on board. She’s going to sign the new deal any day now."

Myleene recently gave up her full-time presenting role on BBC1’s The One Show so she could spend more time with three-month-old baby Ava.

Myleene switches on Christmas lights - Nov 14 2007
Myleene Klass took time out from her motherly duties to flick the switch on the Christmas lights in one of London’s most stylish streets.

The former I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! runner up was joined by her young classical proteges Kindred Spirits, who performed tracks from their debut CD and some traditional Christmas carols.

Myleene, 29, who has a three-month old daughter Ava, praised the child choir, saying: "I’m really proud. It’s really scary, especially when you’re singing in public and they just didn’t bat an eyelid, they sang really well and if this doesn’t get you in the mood for Christmas, then I give up!"

This year’s lights on South Molton Street were built into twelve angel sculptures each seven metres tall and EMI ambassador Myleene did the honours at switchon time.

Kindred Spirits, whose songs include a version of You’ve Got A Friend and Coldplay’s Fix You, are tipped to be Christmas No 1, and their self-titled debut album is due out on November 19.

Myleene added: "I think the best thing is that they’re singing as a choir, enjoying themselves and making really lovely music. If it gets to No 1 then that would be an added bonus, but it would be a lovely Christmas present of course."

Meanwhile, model Sophie Dahl will become a Bond girl for one night only, when she switches on Bond Street’s lights next week.


Myleene hints at second child? - Nov 8 2007
Myleene Klass has hinted that another baby might be on the way soon, after revealing that her fiance Graham Quinn has "begged" her for a second one.

The 29-year-old presenter was speaking on the red carpet at the Cosmopolitan Women Of The Year Awards, where she picked up the Ultimate Comeback Queen gong.

She said Graham was looking after their three-month-old daughter Ava, adding: "We both literally fight over who’s going to hold her so he’s got her all to himself. He’s already begging me for another one so we can have one each to hold at night. We’ll see, I’m seeing how I get on with one at the minute."

Myleene won multi-million pound deals with Marks and Spencer and EMI Classics after her appearance on ITV1 reality show I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! last year.
