As if the “special relationship” between the US and the UK wasn’t precious enough, now we in Britain can’t stop gifting you our TV presenters. You’ve already turned Cat Deeley from a tomboy-ish host of quirky kids shows into a glossy prime time hottie, and cool-as-anything Alexa Chung is about to start hosting a new MTV show from NYC. And now Myleene Klass is about to host the new series of I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! starting on June 1 on NBC.
So who is this Myleene, eh? Here’s a quick rundown of MK 101: she first came to fame in the UK as one of the winners of reality show Popstars 2001, forming a band called Hear’Say who had huge, brief success before predictably imploding. Classically-trained musician Myleene then tried her hand at a few things, notably kids show presenting, before reinventing herself on the UK version of I’m A Celebrity in 2006 (get the connection there?) She’s now a one-woman powerhouse, combining presenting on radio and TV, music, designing her own kids fashion range (she’s got a toddler daughter called Ava), and modeling.
