Myleene Klass showcases her very svelte figure in a black corset top as she steps out at Smooth Radio
Myleene Klass showed off her very slim figure and tiny waist as she stepped out of Smooth Radio in London on Saturday. The radio host, 47, was dressed head to toe in black as she strolled down Leicester Square after her show. Wearing a black strapless corset top, Myleene displayed her very petite frame and toned arms, while pairing the look with some baggy black trousers. Her brunette locks were styled straight, which she kept away from the wind with a navy baseball cap. She kept comfortable in a pair of chunky boots and carried a black Chanel quilted bag with a gold chain over one shoulder to complete her stylish ensemble. The classically trained pianist accessorised with an array of chunky gold necklaces and hoop earrings while she shielded her eyes with orange tinted sunglasses. The radio host, 47, was dressed head to toe in black as she made an appearance down London's busy Leicester Square after her show As she flashed a smile to photographers, she accentuated her stunning features with a bronzed make-up palette. Myleene has three children. She shares two daughters, Ava, 17 and Hero, 13, with her ex-husband Graham Quinn. In August 2019, she welcomed a son named Apollo, 5, with her partner, Simon Motson. Myleene's atest outing comes days after she led the stars celebrating the 80th anniversary of VE Day on Thursday as she hosted a tribute concert at the Royal Albert Hall. She was joined in her hosting duties alongside Katherine Jenkins and Dan Walker and pulled out all the stops on the night in an eye-catching red gown. The singer certainly brought the glamour as she displayed her toned frame in the thigh-high split dress, which was adorned with a huge bow detailing. The event, sponsored by the Daily Mail, featured a show-stopping performance from mezzo-soprano Katherine and dancing from Strictly Come Dancing stars. The show also included first-hand recollections from military veterans and those who lived through the conflict. Former pop star Myleene, whose father served in the Merchant Navy, said it was 'both humbling and an honour' to be involved. She said: 'With it (VE Day) being 80 years now, and as our serving personnel from that time reach an age many never thought they'd see, it's essential we keep their sacrifices and memory alive.' Her co-host, former BBC Breakfast star Dan, told the Mail he considered it 'a real privilege' to be 'standing on that stage introducing some amazing people'. 'Those values of freedom and democracy matter today.' Marking the anniversary, King Charles also used a keynote speech to call for greater efforts towards global peace. With conflicts in Ukraine, the Middle East and across the African continent, His Majesty suggested it was timely to remind ourselves of the words of our great wartime leader, Sir Winston Churchill, who said: 'Meeting jaw to jaw is better than war.' 'In so doing, we should also rededicate ourselves not only to the cause of freedom but to renewing global commitments to restoring a just peace where there is war, to diplomacy, and to the prevention of conflict,' he said. 'For as my grandfather [King George VI, who was monarch during the Second World War] put it: "We shall have failed, and the blood of our dearest will have flowed in vain, if the victory which they died to win does not lead to a lasting peace, founded on justice and established in good will." 'Just as those exceptional men and women fulfilled their duty to each other, to humankind, and to God, bound by an unshakeable commitment to nation and service, in turn it falls to us to protect and continue their precious legacy – so that one day hence generations yet unborn may say of us: "they too bequeathed a better world".'
