That's starting her young! Myleene Klass buys her 4-year-old daughter a violin for her birthday

By Alanah Eriksen


Following in her footsteps: Myleene with her daughter Ava, who she has given a violin for her birthday today

If little Ava Quinn ends up with just half of her famous mother's talent, she'll be a star.

And it appears Myleene Klass is starting the four-year-old's ascent into showbiz early.

The mother-of-two gave her eldest daughter a violin for her birthday today.

The classical singer started learning violin when she was four years old, after her grandfather left his instrument to her when he died.

She also started learning the piano when she was four and the harp when she was 12 and later took music exams with the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music.

Myleene, 33, tweeted a picture of her daughter's new violin with the joking message: 'Avas 4th bday pressie. Goodbye neighbours.'

Fans replied encouraging the little girl.

One said: 'Fabulous. Happy Birthday to Ava let's hope she takes after her mum xx'
Another added: 'I remember when my sister first started playing the violin....I had to put my fingers in my ears!! She will love it. xx'

The former pop star, who rose to fame with Hear'Say, a band formed via the ITV show Popstars in 2001, has enjoyed a successful television and modelling career.

Combined with her fashion line and DJ commitments, Myleene is estimated to be worth £7.5million so Ava might want some of her mother's star power to rub off on her.

But Ava might want to keep the noise down while playing with her new toy if she doesn't want to wake her new baby sister.

Myleene gave birth to Hero Harper in March.

She lives with the girls' father Graham Quinn in Hertfordshire.

Myleene may add Bollywood Star to her resume, after reportedly being offered a role on a recent trip to India.

She was there to film a documentary about Bollywood icons and met Oscar-winning composer A R Rahman, who introduced her to leading Bollywood producers.

She told The Sun: 'I've been asked to star in a Bollywood film as they really like my post-pregnancy figure out there. So rather than trying to drop those last few pregnancy pounds, I'm back on the curries.'

Hawaiian Horror! Usually stylish Myleene Klass steps out in bizarre pair of oversized trousers

By Holly Thomas


Not such a lovely pair: Usually stylish Myleene Klass was spotted earlier today wearing an absolutely bonkers pair of trousers


Classical musician, model and television presenter Myleene Klass is usually recognised for her simple, classy taste.

So it was a shock when she was spotted arriving at ITV studios in London earlier today sporting a bonkers-looking pair of oversized trousers.

Notable more for their volume than the unusual Hawaiian print, they looked like they could have doubled as a beach break had the occasion called for it.


In order to make sure they didn't fall off her slim frame, Myleene wisely chose a knot-style belt to hold them up.

She completed the odd summery look with a leopard print bag, neon sunglasses and chunky orange heels.

All smiles: It was almost as though Myleene was in on the joke


The neon sunglasses were possibly the most on-trend item, ticking at least one of this summer's fashion requirements, and contrasting nicely with her red lipstick.

The Popstar To Operastar host seemed in a good mood, smiling as she sipped her Starbucks frappe.

Good mood: Perhaps Myleene just fancied a bit of seasonal fun


Perhaps it was this light hearted attitude which led to the conception of this wardrobe wonder.

Alternatively, the baggy look might have been due to Myleene feeling a little self conscious upon her return from holiday.

Last night the model tweeted: '@KlassMyleene: 10 stone heavier, 4 shades darker, 1 burnt bum later, I'm back from my hols. #homesweethome'

Small mercies: Myleene's simple black vest with the cutaway back provided a touch of style

These two really are all smiles! Kelly Brook and Myleene Klass can't stop giggling after breakfast date

By Jessica Satherley


All smiles: New friends Kelly Brook and Myleene Klass giggled after a breakfast meeting at London's Soho Hotel


We might not see these two spending time together regularly, but Kelly Brook and Myleene Klass seem to have developed a new friendship.

They are both being managed by the same company and were attending a breakfast meeting at London’s Soho Hotel for a catch up.

The model and presenter were all smiles as they left the breakfast put on by ROAR Global management and both showed off their summer tans as they walked down the street giggling.


Kelly, 31, looked lovely in a beige skirt, matching sandals and navy blue cardigan as she flashed her grin at photographers.

While Myleene, 33, showed off her figure in a red and white printed summer dress and white oversized sunglasses.

Kelly’s new look for summer is a longer and blonder hair style and has been sporting a head of honey highlights in recent weeks.

She has also been working out to maintain her perfect bikini body and revealed on Twitter what her motivation is.

The star, who is dating Thom Evans, tweeted a photograph of the topless rugby player this week and wrote: ‘My personal trainer and motivation!’

She added: ‘Starting my fitness regime today! Come on Easytones!’ Referring to the Reebok shoes she promotes.

And Kelly wasn’t the only one showing off an incredible figure, as Myleene has shrunk back into a petite size less than four months after giving birth to her second daughter.

But the Popstar To Operastar presenter said recently that she hasn’t even had time or energy to exercise since having baby Hero.

She told Look Magazine: ‘Working out just isn’t my thing. The running joke in my house is I only go to the gym to use the full-length mirrors!

‘I’m constantly lifting so my arms have got back into shape but there’s more junk in the trunk now so I’ve learned the trick of wearing high-waisted skirts and trousers to disguise it.’

But she added: ‘I’ve just given life. I don’t have an eternal search to lose the wrinkles and stretch marks because I earned those, they’re my badges of honour and I went through a lot to get them.’

I'll bring up baby my way, Myleene tells 'Breastapo'

By Daily Mail Reporter


No judging: Myleene Klass, pictured with her baby Hero, believes women should judge parenting techniques


TV presenter Myleene Klass has attacked critics who make modern mothers feel guilty if they stop breastfeeding early.

The 33-year-old warned of the damaging criticism women face from the 'Breastapo' if they opt to bottle-feed their babies.

Miss Klass, who is still breastfeeding her 11-week–old daughter Hero, said: 'I breastfeed for my family, not to pacify the Breastapo.


'I think people should be very careful when it comes to judging how others raise their children.

'Aren't we all just doing the best we can? Besides, you never know what a person's circumstances are.'

She also criticised parenting experts for 'judging' women. She added that mothers faced too much pressure to 'do things a certain way' and that she still faced disapproval for returning to work soon after giving birth.

Miss Klass, who became nationally famous after her appearance on I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here, also told New magazine: 'It is tough because as soon as you leave the house, the guilt is instantaneous.'

'The guilt is instantaneous:' Myleene, who hosts Popstar to Operastar, says she received criticism for returning to work so soon after giving birth


Miss Klass also has a three-year-old daughter – Ava – with fiancé Graham Quinn.

The Department of Health recommends that all children are breastfed for the first six months.

But breastfeeding rates in Britain are among the lowest in Europe, with only 45 per cent of infants exclusively breastfed a week after birth.

By Jody Thompson


Baby love: Myleene took her 11-week-old daughter Hero to work with her when she went to be interviewed on ITV1's Daybreak today


She's only 11 weeks old - and it looks like Myleene Klass can't bear to be parted from her tiny new daughter Hero for one minute.

Because the singer turned presenter took her little bundle into work today when she was a guest on this morning's Daybreak.

The 33-year-old star, who also has a three year old Ava with fiancé Graham Quinn, was wearing a floaty, strappy animal print maxi dress as she arrived at ITV's studios on London's South Bank, accessorised with a gold belt and leopard print handbag.

However, the star changed into a red lace Marks And Spencer shift dress for her spell on the sofa, where was was grilled by Kate Garraway and Adrian Chiles.

First up, she was asked about adding to her brood, to which Myleene enthused: 'I'm absolutely loving it. I should have had two ages ago!'

Having worked in the U.S. herself for a number of years fro CNN, Myleene was also asked how she thought her fellow reality TV star Cheryl Cole would fare having been sacked from the X Factor USA.

Myleene, who found fame when she landed a place in Hear'Say on 2001's Popstars, said of Cheryl - who hit fame the year after on Popstars: The Rivals - said the singer would be fine.

New show: The mother-of-two had gone on Daybreak to talk about the return of the show she hosts, Popstar To Operastar


She said: 'It's actually a very different market, they ask for very different things. But first and foremost it is a job – and you just sort of bounce from where the jobs are.

'But I'm not worried about Cheryl - I think she's going to be absolutely fine. I think she can do whatever she likes, she's got it all.

'She's got the whole package and she's got the backing of a lot of people. So she's going to be alright.'

Bring your baby to work day? Myleene Klass shows off six-week-old Hero on This Morning

By Sarah Fitzmaurice


Yummy mummy: Myleene Klass turned up at the ITV studios earlier today with her six-week-old daughter Hero strapped across her in a black sarong


She gave birth to the latest addition to her family only six weeks ago but Myleene Klass is already back at work.

The TV presenter arrived at the ITV studios and did the rounds on the daytime TV shows, popping in on This Morning and appearing on Loose Women - all with little Hero in tow.

The mother of two arrived at the studios with her six-week old daughter strapped to her chest in a black shawl and also had her daughter Ava by her side.


Klass popped into This Morning to show off her newest addition to Phillip Schofield and Ruth Langsford ahead of her meeting with the Loose Women.

And although she gave birth less than two months ago she was looking radiant in a floor-length French Connection dress which she had paired with high Prada espadrilles.

Three-year-old Ava was also sporting florals in a pretty dress with her hair styled into a plait with a bow on top.

Just like mum: Klass's elder daughter Ava wears a cute floral dress similar to her own French Connection frock as she arrives at the ITV studios


And it seems that Ava has been taking tips from her mother as she posed for pictures outside the studio as the pair arrived at the studio.

Klass was appearing on Loose Women to talk about her return to work as the host of the Classical Brit Awards tomorrow.

Speaking about heading back to work she told the panel: ‘It's weird to be out of my pyjamas.’

The girls also mentioned her svelte figure and she said: ‘I’m wearing big pants… I’ve spent the last six weeks in bed so it’s weird to be here.’

Speaking about returning to work so soon after giving birth she said: ‘I feel guilty if I'm not working and I feel guilty if I'm not with them.’

The former Hear’Say singer will take to the stage tomorrow night to host the Classical Brit Awards at the Royal Albert Hall.

And Klass isn’t stopping there when it comes to getting back to work as she is set to host Popstar to Operastar which returns to our screens in June.

Birthday girl Myleene Klass takes daughters Ava and baby Hero for a girlie day in the sun

By Georgina Littlejohn


Girls' day out: Myleene Klass took daughters Ava and baby Hero out in London as she celebrated her birthday today


With the sun shining brightly and a birthday to celebrate, it's no wonder that Myleene Klass had a beaming smile on her face.

Of course that's probably more to do with the two gorgeous little girls on her arm than some warm rays and turning 33.

The TV presenter looked absolutely radiant and she strolled though central London, cradling two-week-old baby Hero in one arm, and holding three-year-old Ava with the other.


Myleene and her daughters were joined by her friend as they made the most of the warm sun, on what was Britain's hottest day of the year so far.

The former pop star looked gorgeous in a black maxi dress and big floppy hat, which she accessorised with huge sunglasses and a brown animal print bag.

And she looked happy and relaxed as she held her newborn in her arms.

New mum glow: Myleene looked radiant and stunning as she strolled round a sunny London with baby Hero nestled into her arms


Wrapped up in a multi-coloured blanket, Hero slept soundly in her mother's arms as she, her friend and little Ava did some shopping.

This is the first time we have seen Myleene since she gave birth to Hero on March 25.

And today she took to her Twitter page and wrote: 'Today I'm the same age as Jesus and to mark it, I'm going to change out of my PJs and FINALLY leave the house!

Baby talk: Myleene cuddled her girl close and fussed over her when she woke up


Last Friday she tweeted a picture that her fiancé Graham Quinn took of the three girls together, as Hero made her public debut.

She wrote: ''World meet Hero, Hero meet world! One whole week old today! (Dads the official photographer!)'


It's my birthday! Myleene threw back her head and laughed out loud for the cameras

'World meet Hero, Hero meet world!' Myleene Klass shows off her week-old baby daughter in beautiful family photo

By Georgina Littlejohn


Me and my girls: Myleene Klass Tweeted a beautiful photo of her eldest daughter Ava, 3, and week-old baby girl Hero


She's an avid Tweeter and had kept her fans and followers notified every step of the way through her second pregnancy.

So it came as no surprise when Myleene Klass decided to make her new baby's debut on her Twitter page.

The TV presenter posted a beautiful photo of herself and baby Hero Harper Quinn on her page this afternoon, with her eldest daughter, three-year-old Ava Bailey snuggled up beside her mother and her little sister.


And she captioned the photo, which was taken by her partner Graham Quinn, with: 'World meet Hero, Hero meet world! One whole week old today! (Dads the official photographer!)'

Her followers were quick to respond with their best wishes, such as 'gorgeous', 'congratulations' and 'she is too cute!'

And Myleene responded: 'You guys! I am completely and utterly overwhelmed by all your kind msgs for my family. Thank you so very much.'

The former pop star, 32, gave birth to Hero last Friday, who weighed 6lb 2oz.

Hero has its origins in Greek mythology, as the name of the tragic lover of Leander and was a priestess of Aphrodite, whose lover Leander would swim across the Hellespont to visit her in her tower.

Working mum: Myleene Tweeted a picture of herself recording her Classic FM show the day before she gave birth to Hero


After Leander drowned while swimming to visit her one stormy night, the grief-stricken Hero threw herself off the tower.

Hero was also the name of a character in William Shakespeare's comedy Much Ado About Nothing, portrayed by Kate Beckinsale in the 1993 film adaptation.

And ever the busy bee, Myleene was working right up to the birth, and even pre-recorded her radio show on Classic FM the day before.

And on her way into the studios she joked that she may go into labour on the tube.

She wrote on Twitter: 'Sitting on the tube munching on a pack of Rolos. This is the life... A timely arrival would surely flummox them (London Underground).'

Myleene Klass shames driver on Twitter after he punched her car while she and young daughter were inside

By Georgina Littlejohn


Angry: A heavily pregnant Myleene Klass, seen here three days ago, took to her Twitter page to name and shame a driver that had threatened her while she was in her car with her three year old daughter


She caused a furore last year when she waved a knife at two teenagers trying to break into her garden.

But it would seem that Myleene Klass's fury knows no bounds as she launched a furious Twitter rant after she was threatened in her car.

The TV presenter was coming back from a night out with her three-year-old daughter Ava when she appeared to get into an incident while driving home.


And she immediately took to her Twitter page to name and shame the 'coward of a man' that approached her - by publicly issuing his licence plate number.

Myleene, who is eight months pregnant, wrote: 'To the owner of **** ***, I'd like to thank you for punching my car window with my daughter in the sitting in the back. Big man.

'Ava was upset as didn't understand what was going on. I just know if I was a 6ft man, he would never have gotten out of the car, so I'll name n shame him myself.

THANK YOU, ALL of you for checking on Ava n me. Coward of a man.'

And her followers were quick to respond including her celebrity friends who were disgusted by what had happened to her.

Name and shame: Myleene explained to her Twitter followers what had happened


Former Spice Girl Emma Bunton, who is also pregnant, wrote: 'What a horrible thing to Happen to you both! Give each other cuddles! So sorry!'

Actress Denise Van Outen asked if she was ok, then wrote: 'If you know the owner of a vehicle reg **** *** please give him a slap for what he just did to @KlassMyleene and her baby girl.'

She then added: 'Probably a better idea to report him to the police than give him a slap eh! Don't want to encourage that behaviour.'

And TV presenter Lauren Laverne said: 'Just off the phone to @KlassMyleene. I love her and anyone who is horrible to her - ever - is a *******. That is all.'

Concerned: Former Spice Girl Emma Bunton showed support for her friend


Last January, Myleene was given a warning by Hertfordshire Police after two youths got into the garden of her home in Potters Bar.

Myleene was alone in her kitchen while Ava slept upstairs and grabbed a knife and shouted at them: 'I'm calling the police'.

Officers warned her that it was illegal to carry an 'offensive weapon' even at home but she said she had no regrets about although the incident was 'scary', she claimed it was 'what any other mother would do'.
