Myleene Klass
- Profession: Musician and Presenter
- Place/Date of Birth: Gorleston, Norfolk, 06 April 2020
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!"
Myleene takes over test card role - May 22 2007
Do not adjust your set - the TV test card is back but with a thoroughly modern Myleene Klass as its star.
The singer has been signed up as the face of the new Sky HD Test Card - and she has recreated the iconic image familiar to millions of viewers, right down to the red dress and
While the original test card girl was a static image, Myleene will step out of the frame and offer a 10-minute tutorial to Sky customers on understanding high definition TV.
The cards were created in the 1930s to help engineers fine-tune TV sets.
The most famous - Test Card F - first appeared on our screens 40 years ago. Its star was Carole Hersee, eight-year-old daughter of BBC engineer George Hersee.
Test Card F was the first to be in colour and it featured a person so that adjustments could be made for skin tone.
She was pictured playing noughts and crosses with a grinning toy clown. The choice of game was not random - the ’X’ marked the centre of the card.
Test Card F was first shown on BBC Two in the summer of 1967 and by the time regular transmissions were discontinued in May 1983, it had been shown for an estimated 70,000 hours.
Carole is said to hold the record for the most TV appearances.
The image has such a hold on the public’s imagination that there are web sites set up in its honour.
