Marking the double celebration with a "Number One" cake and with her fiance Graham Quinn at her side, she said that she was "beside herself" about being given such an opportunity.  She said: "It’s a show by the people for the people and that is what is so exciting about it."

And she showed few qualms about taking on more work at such a late stage in her pregnancy, with just under eight weeks to go until her first child - a baby girl - is due.  She said: "The way I look at it is that I am pacing myself. I do know my own body and when it says we’re tired, I sleep and when it says we’re hungry, I eat.

"At the same time I know a lot of working mums and pregnant women that are working hard and doing their best to build a future for their families and I want to stay as true to that as possible."

Myleene to publish baby diary - May 31 2007
Myleene Klass is appealing for help with writing a book about her pregnancy.

The singer-turned-model is currently five-and-half months pregnant with partner Graham Quinn’s baby, and has been keeping a diary about the experience.

Publishers are apparently interested in getting the thoughts into print, but 29-year-old Myleene is less than confident in her writing abilities and is looking for a journalist who can help.

Her manager, Johnathan Shalit, said: "Myleene’s been approached by four publishers to date to write a guide to being pregnant. She’s keeping a diary at the moment but she isn’t a writer, so she’d like someone to help with it. The journalist would obviously need to be a mother who has had a baby herself."

The finished tome will apparently "reveal the worries, excitement, miracles and sheer hard work involved in becoming a mother" and will include a series of topics including, it is suggested, "conceiving a baby".


Myleene’s baby mixes with the stars - May 29 2007
It hasn’t even been born yet, but Myleene Klass’s baby is already drawing admiration from some serious A-list stars.

The former Hear’Say singer is five-and-a-half months pregnant with fiance Graham Quinn’s baby, and told First magazine that celebs have been queuing up to pat her bump.

Johnny Depp, Sir Paul McCartney and Robert De Niro have all got in on the action, which could cause problems when it comes to picking a godfather.

"They all wanted to touch my bump," Myleene said. "Paul McCartney is an experienced father - we were at a party and he patted my tummy for luck and said, ’Off you go home’ because he was worried about me having a late night.

"Robert De Niro patted my tummy too and told me, ’Take care of the little one,’ and Johnny Depp said, ’Give the baby a kiss from me when it arrives’."

The 29-year-old also said she had put on two-and-a-half stone since falling pregnant, but puts it down to a craving for cheese.

"I’m not just talking about cheese on pasta," she’s quoted as saying. "Now I’m even having cheese on strawberries!"
