Does Myleene Klass have a famous family?

She showcased her musical skills during lockdown when she taught music lessons on Instagram and YouTube.
What TV shows has Myleene appeared on?
Myleene appeared on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! in 2006.
She says that, at the time, she was at a crossroads in her career and decided to take a risk.
She said: “When I went into the jungle I had nothing to lose. I’d gone back into classical music but it wasn’t giving me that stimulation.”
Myleene’s risk paid off when her frequent showers in a bikini turned her into a pin-up.
She said: “When I came out of the jungle it was all about this white bikini, which wasn’t very white by the time I left! So many offers came through as a result of that – modelling contracts initially.”
Myleene was offered a multi-million-pound deal with Marks & Spencer, alongside models Twiggy and Erin O’Connor.
Who is Myleene Klass’ husband?
Myleene recently got engaged to PR Simon Motson.
He surprised her by getting down on one knee in her garden on the day that marked their fifth anniversary.
Simon had transformed her garden into a replica of the bar where they’d met on a blind date.
She has said: “I’m lucky to have Sim. We appreciate each other so much and, during lockdown, we have got to spend more time together than ever before. He’s great with the children. It takes more than DNA to be a dad.”
Simon has a daughter from a previous relationship who Myleene gets on with well – and even teaches her piano lessons.

Myleene has three children: Ava, 13, and Hero, nine, from her first marriage to Graham Quinn.
Her youngest son Apollo, one, is from her relationship with fiancé Simon Motson.
