Myleene Klass breaks silence after winning I’m A Celebrity as lucrative new career move is revealed
MYLEENE Klass has been crowned the first I’m A Celebrity legend — and will cash in on her famed white bikini.
The classical musician won the all-stars series in South Africa, 17 years after her Aussie jungle triumph.
Myleene, 45, had slipped into similar swimwear and recreated her iconic 2006 shower scene on her way to victory in the pre-recorded ITV show.
She has since revealed she had an “emergency meeting” with Next to shore up supplies as fans rush to buy a £38 version of her original two-piece.
Myleene said: “The first time round, I wasn’t a mum so there was no jeopardy if I ran around the jungle for a few weeks in a white bikini. I had a ball the first time.
“They say don’t go back to an ex and don’t go back to a reheated dinner.
“The jungle back in Australia gave me my family, gave me my work, gave me my career.
“I wanted to go to the bush as I wanted to say thank you for what the jungle has given me.”
Viewers last night saw her in a brutal eating trial face-off with Diversity dancer Jordan Banjo for the win.
She was forced to down 60 mouse tails and 40 spoons of revolting fermented tofu.
She admitted: “It was the gnarliest, grisliest challenge I have ever, ever put myself through. It was grim. It kept repeating on me.”
The mum of two added: “You’re so far from home, I missed my children so much.
“But they made me a necklace and every trial I just held on to it.”
Jordan, 30, said: “Myleene is one tough cookie; she smashed everything that came her way.”
Olympian Fatima Whitbread, 62, came third and ex-cricketer Phil Tufnell, 57, fourth in the series filmed in Kruger National Park last September.
A spokesman for Next said: “The Myleene womenswear range started with just two dresses to support her kids’ collection and has now grown into the hundreds.
“The white bikini alone had a huge uplift following her entrance to the jungle.”
