Myleene Klass puts on a leggy display in skimpy leopard-print shorts as she arrives at Smooth Radio
Myleene Klass set pulses racing as she arrived at Smooth Radio Studios in London on Friday. The TV personality, 47, looked incredible in a pair of skimpy leopard-print shorts that showcased her toned legs. She wore sheer black tights and paired the shorts with a black vest top and a smart blazer. Posing up a storm for the cameras, Myleene further accessorised her look with a layer of gold necklaces, a black baseball cap, and a pair of trendy oversized shades. To complete her look, she sported a pair of black ankle boots and toted her essentials in a black Chanel handbag as she made her way into the studio. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Earlier this month, Myleene led the stars celebrating the 80th anniversary of VE Day as she hosted a tribute concert at the Royal Albert Hall. Joined in her hosting duties by Katherine Jenkins and Dan Walker, she 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 time 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".'

Myleene Klass exudes glamour in an elegant red gown as she joins dazzling Katherine Jenkins and Zoe Ball to celebrate the 80th anniversary of VE Day across London
Myleene Klass exuded glamour in an elegant red gown as she led the stars celebrating the 80th anniversary of VE Day on Thursday. Ahead of hosting the sell-out tribute concert at the Royal Albert Hall alongside Katherine Jenkins and Dan Walker, Myleene posed outside in her ball gown. The singer, 47, displayed her toned frame in the thigh-high split gown, adorned with huge bow detailing. Opera singer Katherine dazzled in a blue ombre gown before taking to the stage with a jaw-dropping performance. Meanwhile, over at the historic Horse Guards Parade in central London, Zoe Ball presented a concert in front of King Charles, Queen Camilla, The Prince and Princess of Wales. The radio host looked incredibly glamorous in a glitzy red midi dress and dazzling high-heels. The event at the Royal Albert Hall, sponsored by the Daily Mail, will feature performances from mezzo-soprano Katherine and dancing from Strictly Come Dancing stars. The show will also include 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.' Former BBC Breakfast star Dan Walker told the Mail he considered it 'a real privilege' to be 'standing on that stage introducing some amazing people'. And Air Marshal Sir Simon Bollom, chairman of hosts SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity, said the Second World War saw a period of 'unending sacrifice across the Armed Forces', adding: 'We want the last World War Two veterans to know that their sacrifice is recognised, and we will not forget it.' In a poignant reminder of that sacrifice, Sir Keir Starmer also pointed out that the ongoing conflict in Ukraine showed the Second World War was not 'just history'. He said: 'I've got children who live in peace and in a democracy as a result of other people. The reminder, with the Ukrainian contingent in the procession, that the idea this was all just history... is completely wrong. The show will also include first-hand recollections from military veterans and those who lived through the conflict
