Myleene Klass reveals she saved both her daughters from choking in terrifying incidents

Myleene Klass has revealed two terrifying situations where she was forced to spring into action to prevent her two young children from choking.

In an attempt to stop other parents and children from going through the same traumatic experience the singer-turned-radio presenter has taken to Instagram and also released a new book on first aid with tips for managing accidents at home.

One instance when Myleene had to take on first aid duties to save one of her children was four years ago.

The 44-year-old spoke of the terrifying moment when her daughter Ava, 14, choked on calamari while on holiday. Unfortunately this would not be the only time.

Myleene's 11-year-old daughter Hero, got a plastic star stuck in her throat when she was 18 months old.

Her latest book titled They Don't Teach This At School is set to be released next week on 12 May, but exerts of some of the book's content were published in The Sun on Monday. The book features the former Hear'Say star walking parents through the importance of knowing basic survival skills.

She wrote : "A couple of years ago we were relaxing on holiday and my defences were down, so when Ava started to choke on calamari I didn’t immediately realise."

She added: "Hero choked on a small plastic star when she was one and a half."

The Smooth Radio host went on to describe the mechanics of what to do if someone is choking, and even shared a step-by-step guide to performing CPR.

The presenter also took to social media to share a video about performing CPR which features her adorable children.

Myleene's book also discusses other emergency situations such as treating jellyfish stings and recognising the signs of a stroke, advising people on the best course of action.

In a post on Twitter last month, Myleene tweeted: "Just found out we helped a Mother save her baby’s life yesterday after she watched our video on choking.

"We are all feeling very emotional and relieved after hearing this news.

"All my safety vids are on TikTok but going to post here too. My book contains all this information BUT *DISCLAIMER* This is a DEMONSTRATION. DO NOT attempt or try this on anyone that doesn’t require actual CPR."
