Myleene Gives Birth to Baby Girl - Aug 17 2007
Myleene Klass has given birth to a baby girl - three-and-half weeks early, and the TV presenter has named her 5lbs 9oz bundle of joy Ava.

The 29-year-old former Hear’Say singer gave birth in a London hospital with fiance Graham Quinn by her side.

"Myleene had a problem-free labour, and mother and baby are doing well. She and Graham are ecstatic. The baby is named Ava Quinn," her spokesman said.

The M&S model went into labour shortly after co-presenting BBC1’s The One Show.

Her spokesman said: "Myleene presented The One Show and felt a bit weird on the way home. She went to the hospital to get checked out and they told her she was in labour.

"The birth went very smoothly and all is well, but her stint on the show is obviously over."

Myleene co-hosted the daily programme with Adrian Chiles.

Myleene’s colleagues on The One Show said: "We’re delighted and thrilled for Myleene."

She will be replaced on the programme by presenter Christine Bleakley but will be back after maternity leave.

"Myleene is looking forward to returning to work after some time off with Ava," her spokesman said.

Myleene: I’ll work ’til I pop - July 24 2007
Pregnant Myleene Klass has apparently vowed to keep working until she gives birth to her baby in less than two months’ time.

The 29-year-old presents a radio show on Classic FM, appears in adverts for Marks & Spencer and has just released a classical album.

"I have worked nearly every day of the week, including weekends, for as long as I can remember. The way I see it, I’ve wanted the opportunity to have a consistent job in a field that I love so I’m going to make the most of it while I can," the star told the Daily Express.

Myleene, who first came to fame in pop group Hear’Say, added: "It’s not too hard for me to recall my student days when I couldn’t get a job in a chorus line, let alone regular wages, and I love the work I do so much that it doesn’t always constitute work in my eyes anyway."


Blooming Myleene’s Duo Celebration - July 9 2007
Mother-to-be Myleene Klass showed no signs of slowing her workload as she celebrated her new album hitting the top spot and a new role as presenter of a prime time show.

The 29-year-old is due to give birth to her first child at the beginning of September but is determined the mere fact she is eight-months pregnant will not hold her back.  A blooming Myleene was in celebratory mood at Classic FM’s studios in London after hearing her album Myleene’s Music for Romance has made it to number one in the classical chart after just a week on sale.

And not content with assaulting the airwaves, she has also been promoted to host BBC’s The One Show alongside Adrian Chiles, which will hit our screens tomorrow night.  Myleene had been due to be a roving reporter but her work apparently impressed producers so much that she was given a screen test and then upgraded to co-present it.
