‘I’ve had three babies since then!’ Myleene Klass insists she won’t repeat her iconic jungle shower antics because she ‘doesn’t look like that now’ as she returns to I’m A Celeb for South African spin-off
I’m A Celeb’s Myleene Klass has warned viewers not to expect the same shower scenes as she arrived in the South African camp on Tuesday.
The 45-year-old former pop star, fashion designer and radio host famously set pulses racing in 2006 by sporting a white two-piece in the outside shower.
Ahead of entering the camp, Myleene explained: ‘After doing the programme I saw the photo and I was like ‘my goodness, it does look glamorous, but it certainly didn’t feel like it – far from it!
‘There are worse things to be known for than being really clean! Since then, I have had three babies and I don’t look like that now.’
She added: ‘I am really proud of how strong my body has been. It has been through lots of trials and tribulations since and part of the reason for doing this all star version is I want to remind myself of that.

‘I do feel like a different person, I was in my 20s when I first came into the jungle and now I’m in my 40s.
‘I think I will smell the campfire and it will be like yesterday!
‘I’ve got so many great memories to pick from but I liked some of the things you don’t see on camera – like at night when the jungle came alive. All you could see was a wall of green dots, green eyes, reflected by the moonlight.’
Reminiscing on her time on the show, she told ITV her scariest trial was the one in a coffin with rising water.
Speaking about the rows, she added: ‘I like the fact that with I’m A Celebrity, you go back to basics. You are stripped bare and it is funny watching people argue about how to boil an ostrich egg or get frustrated on the Trials.’
Myleene has become synonymous with white bikinis ever since her appearance on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here in 2006.
The nation’s attention was grabbed when the star went for a shower in the jungle while sporting a tiny two-piece, which showcased her incredible frame.
The source adds that Myleene will allegedly be launching a Next swimwear range as the show airs so that fans can recreate the iconic look.
The famous tiny white bikini was auctioned for charity for £7,500 and Myleene later revealed it was a last-minute purchase.
She explained she had spent just £20 on the skimpy two-piece after producers informed her the striped number she had originally packed would not look good on film.

Back in 2020, she reflected on the swimwear that helped to make her a household name on I’m A Celebrity.
She penned: ‘It feels like I was in the jungle only yesterday! Every time I see this pic pop up, I can’t believe how fate handled it all.
‘I remember one of the shows producers looking at my bikinis in the hotel before I went to camp. One was covered in stripes. ”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, asked the shop assistant for the plainest bikini she had. Best $40 I ever spent….especially as it raised so much for charity.’
Since her appearance, a slew of female stars have tried to recreate her iconic shower scenes during their time in camp.
Myleene ultimately finished on second place, behind Matt Willis, and is heavily tipped to be one of the surprise latecomers to the All Stars camp, alongside Georgia Toffolo and Joe Swash.
Gillian McKeith – who was renowned for her dramatic fainting scene, Dean Gaffney and Andrew Whyment could also be among those making a return.
They will allegedly join previously announced stars Helen Flanagan , Carol Vorderman , Amir Khan, Janice Dickinson, Paul Burrell, Jordan Banjo, Shaun Ryder, Fatima Whitbread and Phil Tufnell.
It comes after Myleene harked back to the famous shower scene last week, by sporting a very similar white two-piece for a sensational new snap.
She penned a caption reading: ’45 be like… Thank you for all your lovely HBD messages, for your support and love.
‘Here’s to the next 45 years my friends. I’m off for a bike ride, a swim and some cake!’

The stunner was flooded with birthday messages from superstar pals and fans alike, as she rang in the day with a lavish mini-break.
She highlighted her cleavage in the simple triangle top and flaunted her taut stomach with the low-slung bottoms, while wearing her hair in a slick down do.
Ensuring she was ready for action, Myleene sported a pair of Sketchers trainers while she also wore a chunky gold watch and stacks of gold chains.
In the caption, she revealed the swimsuit was her own design from her Next collaboration while the trainers were also part of a brand partnership.
