Weight loss secrets behind Myleene Klass' transformation as stuns in bikini
TV presenter Myleene Klass has floored fans with her latest bikini pictures as fans branded her 'stunning'. We take a look at the diet secrets behind the star's body transformation Myleene Klass has left admirers absolutely speechless after posting her most recent sizzling bikini photographs. The 47-year-old singer and TV host looked sensational whilst sporting a gorgeous blue two-piece, paired with a baseball cap and trainers. The Loose Women star and mother-of-two, who has previously opened up about battling body confidence issues, appeared more self-assured than ever whilst striking poses for the lens. Alongside her stylish swimwear and Sketchers footwear, she completed her ensemble with delicate gold accessories, a vibrant red lipstick and dark sunglasses. Writing beneath the image, the ex-Hear'Say member, who represents Sketchers as a brand ambassador, penned: "Fetch in Skech-ers." Followers went absolutely wild for Myleene 's snapshots, with thousands showing their appreciation through likes. One gushed: "Absolutely stunning," whilst another declared: "You look flipping amazing." A third enquired: "Seriously what's your secret!" Myleene has previously disclosed she employed a two-step approach to assist her weight loss and drop four dress sizes. Her weight has fluctuated over time, with the star around a size 16 when her previous group Hear'Say disbanded in 2001. Myleene, who stands 5ft5, revealed her weight climbed to 11 and a half stone due to her 'chaotic eating routine' during her time in the group. She even mentioned having to unfasten her jeans to perform whilst wearing them at the BRIT Awards. Nevertheless, she now follows a two-step approach, which assists her in maintaining healthy eating habits. Myleene revealed she's ditched erratic eating patterns and random snacking in favour of slow-release carbohydrates and protein. Through this approach, Myleene claims she's reached her 'healthiest weight ever' and maintains a svelte size 8 figure. She also prioritises fitness, even launching her own workout DVD, My Body By Myleene, back in 2018. Discussing her physique, Myleene told Women's Health: "I'm not naturally slim. I'm 5ft 5in and I'm not a model. "Because I'm not a model, I've learnt to make the best of what I've got – short legs and bandy arms and a long back and terrible posture, but I don't wish to be anything else. It's my points of difference that have made me a success." Revealing her key advice for sustaining a healthy lifestyle, Myleene urged followers to 'treat themselves in moderation'. She also suggested they should never use the word ' diet '. Myleene added: "I used to do that whole thing of, 'I'm not going to go near chocolate' and all that happens is that three days later it's all I'm craving and I just go mental.'".

Myleene Klass shares tribute to old school after devastating fire broke out
Former Hear'Say singer Myleene Klass paid tribute to her old primary school in Gorleston-on-Sea after a fire broke out and tore through the building Myleene Klass sent her love to her old school, where she now mentors, after a fire broke out. The former Hear'Say singer, 47, took to her Instagram Stories to share a picture of a billowing plume of smoke emerging from the buildings of Clifton Park Academy in Gorleston-on-Sea this week. She wrote in the caption: "This is my old state school that I now mentor at. To Cliff Park teachers and pupils, I'm glad you're all safe. I'm told the teachers did a phenomenal job of getting you out. I'm sorry your last day of term looked like this, I'm relieved you're all ok. Sending my love," before tagging the school. She also shared a screenshot of the news article about the fire, before adding: "Well done once again to my colleagues and teachers for getting the children out safely." Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service was called to the primary school at 13.16 to reports of a fire on Friday afternoon as they vowed to help the school make a full recovery. Paul Seaman, head of operations at Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service, said of the situation: "We will remain on scene and do whatever is required to support the school and the local community to a full recovery following this incident." After all children were safe and accounted for, the school released a statement on their social media page. They wrote on Facebook: "Following the fire at the academy earlier this afternoon, we can confirm that everyone is safe and that all children have now been collected. "Further information regarding the collection of belongings, including bikes and scooters, will be arranged at a later date. Thank you for your co-operation and understanding." It comes several days after Myleene received an MBE at Windsor Castle for her dedication to raising awareness and advocating for legal changes after experiencing several pregnancy losses. Speaking with PA news agency, the 47-year-old star said: "The King himself has now acknowledged that miscarriage care and healthcare needs to move forward. We're actually in a position where we can change the law, and women can benefit from it." Myleene, who has endured four miscarriages herself, has been at the forefront of demanding better support and policy amendments, becoming one of the nation's leading voices for change. She described the honour as recognition for 'the achievements of so many people that come together' to improve what she called a neglected area of women's health. "When I was going through my own miscarriages, you feel so invisible – you just feel you need somebody to guide you out of it," she said. "There's so much negativity about miscarriage healthcare – women feel so lost, so dragged down by it all."

Myleene Klass receives MBE and says King Charles saw importance of one issue
Myleene Klass has been made a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) Myleene Klass says being honoured for her miscarriage campaign sends a clear sign that women's healthcare 'needs to move forward'. The musician and presenter was awarded an MBE at Windsor Castle for her dedication to raising awareness and advocating for legal changes after experiencing several pregnancy losses. Speaking with PA news agency, the 47-year-old star said: "The King himself has now acknowledged that miscarriage care and healthcare needs to move forward. We're actually in a position where we can change the law, and women can benefit from it." Myleene, who has endured four miscarriages herself, has been at the forefront of demanding better support and policy amendments, becoming one of the nation's leading voices for change. She described the honour as recognition for 'the achievements of so many people that come together' to improve what she called a neglected area of women's health. "When I was going through my own miscarriages, you feel so invisible – you just feel you need somebody to guide you out of it," she said. "There's so much negativity about miscarriage healthcare – women feel so lost, so dragged down by it all." Myleene rose to fame with the pop group Hear'Say before establishing a successful career as a classical musician, presenter and entrepreneur. She said she never imagined her work would lead her in this direction. "I trained as a musician – I always thought that was the route the world would take me in. It's certainly diversified along the years," she added. "So many people want you to stay in your line, to box you in. But the beauty of how the world works is you can do many jobs – they all inform one another." Leona Lewis, 40, former X-Factor sensation, was also honoured with an MBE for her illustrious music career and her dedicated charity work, which focused on animal welfare and environmental issues. "I've always been an ambassador for animals and a voice for the voiceless," Leona said. "To be recognised for music is amazing – but to be recognised for charitable work is so meaningful. "Music is my life's work, but when you are given a platform, it's important that you use it to bring awareness, to use our voice for something bigger than ourselves." The singer was joined by her husband, Dennis Jauch, and her father, Aural Josiah Lewis, at the ceremony. Patricia Hewitt, 76, former health secretary, was also celebrated with a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire for her contributions to public health and NHS reform. She said she was 'over the moon' to receive the honour and described it as a tribute to the thousands of people she had worked alongside throughout her career. "I never expected to receive any honour at all, let alone one as significant as this," she told PA. "It means an enormous amount to me. When I heard the news, I felt it was a tribute, not just to me, but to the thousands of amazing people I've worked with over the years – not only in the NHS but also in social care." Dame Patricia held the position of health secretary during Sir Tony Blair's tenure, from 2005 to 2007, spearheading changes including the prohibition of smoking in public spaces, which took effect in 2007. She described the anti-smoking laws as her most important political achievement. "The smoke-free legislation that I helped steer through Parliament is absolutely the biggest thing I ever did for the health of the nation,' she said. "It saved more lives than any of us expected. "I remember the Chief Medical Officer coming to see me just nine months after it came into effect and saying we were already seeing fewer people dying from heart attacks because they were no longer breathing in second-hand smoke." She added: "It's one of those rare examples of a piece of legislation that changed both attitudes and behaviour – and did it very quickly." Also recognised at the investiture were Sir Warren East, the former chief executive of Rolls-Royce, who was knighted for services to the economy and Net Zero aviation, and Sir Nick Gibb, the long-serving former Schools Minister, honoured for services to education. Other awardees included Baroness Poppy Gustafsson, the chief executive of cybersecurity firm Darktrace, and Soma Sara, the founder of the Everyone's Invited initiative, alongside high-profile figures in agriculture, Holocaust education and crop science.

X Factor winner Leona Lewis to be made an OBE at Windsor Castle
X Factor winner Lewis will be made an OBE for services to music and charity. Ex-Labour politician Dame Patricia Hewitt, who as health secretary pushed forward the ban on smoking in enclosed public spaces, will be made a Dame Commander of the British Empire (DCB). Former Conservative schools minister Sir Nick Gibb will receive a knighthood. Presenter and singer Myleene Klass, a former member of the group Hear'Say and runner-up in the 2006 series of I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, will be made an MBE for services to women's health, miscarriage awareness and charity. Lewis, 40, won the third series of The X Factor in 2006 and went on to achieve success with singles including Bleeding Love, Run and Better In Time. The British singer-songwriter from Islington, north London, became a seven-time Brit award nominee and was nominated three times for a Grammy award. She has also carried out charity work with a number of organisations including the Prince's Trust, the Teenage Cancer Trust and WWF. Dame Patricia, previously the chairwoman of NHS Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Care Board, is being honoured for services to healthcare transformation. The former MP for Leicester West served as health secretary, trade and industry secretary and minister for women during Tony Blair's government. The Australian-born politician stepped down from cabinet in June 2007 when Gordon Brown took over as prime minister. Sir Nick was first elected as Conservative MP for Bognor Regis and Littlehampton in 1997 and was first appointed as school standards minister in 2010, before being removed from the post two years later. He was brought back as minister for school standards in 2014 and remained in the role until the reshuffle in September 2021 when he was sacked by then prime minister Boris Johnson. The veteran schools minister, who is being honoured for services to education, returned to the Department for Education (DfE) in October 2022 and stepped down from Government in 2023. During his tenure he oversaw curriculum and exam reforms and was an advocate of phonics as a method of teaching children to read. Klass, 47, has campaigned for paid bereavement leave to be extended to those who experience a miscarriage. The mother of three suffered four miscarriages and has spoken openly about the psychological effects of baby loss on women. She is an ambassador for the pregnancy and baby charity Tommy's and fronted the Bafta-nominated documentary Myleene Klass: Miscarriage And Me in 2021, in which she met women around the UK to hear their experiences.
