Myleene’s a Klass-y act - Feb 3 2007
Beach babe Myleene Klass is pictured posing in a bikini for the new Marks & Spencer advertising campaign.

The former I’m A Celebrity.. contestant joins British models Twiggy, Erin O’Connor and Laura Bailey who already publicise the fashion chain.

Myleene wears a halterneck bikini costing £12 in the pictures, taken on location in South Africa.

Adverts for the new M&S spring-summer collection will launch later this month.

It follows Myleene’s appearance in a skimpy white bikini in the I’m A Celebrity.. TV contest which made headlines last year.

After she left the jungle the bikini was auctioned off, raising thousands of pounds for victims of the collapsed Farepak Christmas savings club.

Describing her first M&S fashion shoot alongside the other models, Myleene said: "At first I was a little bit nervous - who wouldn’t be standing next to Twiggy and Erin.

"But once I put on those clothes, and the way the whole team treat me, then I started to feel like a real M&S girl. Every woman in the UK sees the M&S ads and wants to be a part of it. It’s the ultimate girl gang."

M&S marketing director Steve Sharp said: "We’re thrilled that Myleene has joined us for this campaign. She’s a beautiful and very talented young woman with a lovely, warm personality."

My brings Xmas to Farepak victims - Dec 8 2006
Myleene Klass will bring Christmas cheer to families who lost out in the Farepak scandal after her tiny bikini raised a whopping £7,000 on eBay.

The bidder, known only as herbiesure, won the I’m A Celebrity star’s famous little number when the auction closed at 10pm last night, The Sun reports.

The money raised, after The Sun put the item up for auction, will go towards buying 19,000 food hampers which were lost when Christmas savings firm Farepak collapsed.

Singer Myleene said: "When I heard how Farepak had ruined Christmas for thousands of people I thought it was absolutely despicable and evil.

"So if selling my little bikini can bring so much joy then that is amazing. I’d like to thank Sun readers for bidding."

Consumer Minister Ian McCartney told the paper: "The sale of Myleene’s bikini has helped tremendously."

An investigation is currently underway after 150,000 people lost an average of £400 each when Farepak and parent company European Home Retail went under.

The first of the ’goodwill gesture’ food parcels are due to be delivered over the next week.
