Popstar and TV presenter Myleene Klass is back on I'm A Celebrity as part of the cast for the all-star I'm A Celebrity... South Africa. Back during her first stint she wowed viewers with her memorable white bikini shower scenes and now she's impressing viewers once more by donning a similar swimsuit almost two decades later.
Myleene confessed that it wasn't the same white bikini, but that she owed what was a last-minute purchase a lot as offers for modelling came flooding in back in 2006. Speaking in the Bush Telegraph, the star said: "I'm a huge fan of a white bikini and I get one every season and make sure I rock a white bikini because I owe this white bikini a lot."
"I would love to say this is THE white bikini. I don't know where the white bikini is because when I came out of the jungle in Australia way back, I auctioned my bikini off and somebody bought it for £7,500. I would love to know who's got it or would I?"

The white bikini was originally chosen as the plain white meant it would not cause strobing with the camera. The mum-of-three recalled: "I remember one of the show's producers looking at my bikinis in the hotel before I went to camp. One was covered in stripes and they said, ‘We’ll have to stop at the shops as that’s probably going to strobe on camera’.
"I ran into the shop en route to the jungle and asked the shop assistant for the plainest bikini she had. Best $40 I ever spent!" Discussing the impact her appearance on I’m A Celeb had on her career, Myleene shared: "The offers following my bikini moment, from modelling to more, were just staggering. I’d say to any girl, ‘Go into the jungle’. It worked for me."
