Myleene Klass Recreates Iconic I'm A Celebrity Bikini Moment 20 Years Later
Myleene Klass proved she's still got it as she recreated her iconic I'm A Celebrity white bikini moment two decades later for Instagram snaps on Tuesday. The TV presenter, 47, looked nothing short of sensational as she stripped down to a barely-there bikini in a stunning photoshoot from an unknown sunny destination.
Marking Two Decades Since the Famous Jungle Scene
It marks exactly twenty years since her famous shower scene in the jungle back in 2006, which she previously joked 'put her kids through school'. Myleene looked ageless in the recent images as she teased an exciting new project from the tropical location.
This is not the first time Myleene has revisited her iconic I'm A Celebrity moment where she originally flaunted her jaw-dropping figure. Sharing snaps in a different white bikini last year, Myleene penned on Instagram: 'The OG (Although you can't turn this waterfall off). 20 years ago, my name became a verb. 'Doing a Myleene'.
She continued: 'I'll be eternally grateful for that moment in the Australian jungle only to be repeated in South Africa for the All Stars' battle royale and the crown 17 years later. Honestly, that white bikini has put my kids through school.'
Recovering from a Traumatic Stalker Ordeal
It's no doubt Myleene is enjoying some well-deserved time away following the immense stress of her recent stalker ordeal. Myleene was subjected to a year of sheer terror while working at Classic FM by a man called Peter Windsor.
He sent her an air pistol and other items so traumatic that police refused to tell her or the public what they were, leaving her feeling 'censored from her own life.' Myleene told The Telegraph she was left questioning what on earth police thought could be more disturbing than an air pistol, leaving her fearing for hers and her family's safety and turning their home into a version of Fort Knox.
The Stalker's Conviction and Disturbing Actions
Windsor, 61, was found guilty of two counts of stalking involving serious harm and distress after a seven-day jury trial and was given an indefinite hospital order at Warwick Crown Court. He stalked both Myleene and her colleague Katie Breathwick over four years and had sent the air pistol, handcuffs and a Catwoman outfit, as well as unhinged letters featuring sexual and Satanic imagery and around 1000 gifts.
Myleene was not aware of the threat at first - she missed emails from Breathwick about the stalking and later learned that security had thrown out many of Windsor's letters and packages. She was only made aware in August 2024 when security emailed her a list of 12 items she had been sent with a note saying: 'We don't think there's anything for you to worry about but we're making you aware.'
At this point, she was receiving up to four items a day from Windsor, who has been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. Windsor had no previous convictions.
The Emotional Impact and Court Proceedings
She said: 'It was a huge shock [and] a huge violation. It's sheer terror really. It just felt extreme on every front.' Police told her the air pistol, which was intercepted by Royal Mail could prove fatal if fired at up to six feet and he also sent her a silver ring which was 'holy protection for a worthy high priestess.'
Myleene took to the stand and felt she had to prove she didn't want these items or this attention. The defence barrister questioned why she hadn't told her stalker to stop, suggested she was partly to blame for asking her Classic FM listeners to get in touch and suggested she was glad of the publicity.
Myleene responded: 'I pointed out that I had just got my MBE. The last thing I needed attached to my name was whips, handcuffs and guns.' While Windsor has been convicted, Myleene previously told ITV News that the ordeal had left a lasting effect on her. She said she had been left 'looking over her shoulder' constantly since the traumatic experience.
