Myleene Klass amazed viewers as she made her return to our TV screens for the all-stars edition of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! set in South Africa. As a host of famous faces were brought together from over 20 years of the hit ITV reality show, musician and broadcaster Myleene was one of the late arrivals along with Coronation Street's Andy Whyment and Made in Chelsea's Georgia 'Toff' Toffolo.
They were welcomed to Savannah Scrub to live separate from the others in main camp and as the former Hear'Say singer waited to join the other celebs, the mum-of-three reminisced about her famous white bikini which went down in history when she appeared on the ITV reality show back in 2006. Myleene revealed how she only paid about £20 for the swimwear that made her a household name and that she auctioned the original two-piece after her time in the Australian jungle.
She said: "I spent $40 on it and when I came out, I auctioned it for £7,500." Earlier this month she marked her 45th birthday by donning a white bikini again for a bike ride in the spring sunshine.

@MattZeeMiller tweeted: "Myleene Klass looking great frozen in time from 2006 #ImACeleb appearance." @NicolaBardon gasped: "Myleene is stunnnning." And @hayleydavies121 said: "#ImACeleb I really want to know Myleene secret. She has not aged a day."
@MitchellWebb85 marvelled: "@imacelebrity Myleene Klass is still as gorgeous as ever!" and @walkmich84 asked: "How has Myleene Klass not aged a single day in 20 years!!"
Myleene previously told how she bought the bikini en-route to the jungle and asked the shop assistant for the plainest bikini she had after being warned that the patterned outfits she had packed might cause strobing on TV.
Myleene is competing in the legends series, which has been filmed in South Africa this time instead of Australia. Yesterday, as her arrival was announced, she shared a comical Instagram video showing her changing as if by magic into her jungle gear, and Myleene in the reflection hands her a white bikini top as she gives a thumbs-up.
"Wahhhh! Guess who’s back?!" she cried. And she was flooded with supportive messages including from former Love Island hosts Laura Whitmore who replied excitedly: "There she is!" And Andy, who plays Corrie's Kirk Sutherland, said about the pre-recorded show: "Can’t wait to watch it all back Myleene."
In Wednesday night's episode (April 26) it was revealed that Toff, who won the show in 2017, would be completing in the latest bushtucker trial. The main camp were told that three new arrivals would be entering the camp and they would have to decide who would be competing to win meals for camp.
The vote came down to Toff and Andy and, unable to decide, the camp played a game of rock, paper, scissors. Hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly then revealed that the camp had chosen Toff to do the trial.
Toff later joined the main camp after triumphing in the Dreaded Drain trial. But Ant and Dec arrived to make another announcement that someone was getting bumped out of the main camp to Savannah Scrub.
