I couldn't hold back my tears'

She first wowed I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! viewers back in 2006 when she showered in the Australian jungle in that white bikini, and Myleene Klass, 45, proved she's still got it last week when she was crowned the winner of I'm A Celebrity South Africa.

The mum-of-three, who swapped her white bikini for an orange two-piece this time round, pipped celebs including Carol Vorderman, Phil Tufnell, Fatima Whitbread, Georgia Toffolo and Joe Swash to the post and rose to all the challenges thrown at her on the show, filmed last September.

Talking about her victory, an emotional Myleene said, "The fact that my peers kept me in at points, that meant everything because they were the closest to me in camp. It's lovely to have the public vote of course the first time round-that gave me so much confidence the first time in my career.

"But the second time, being voted for by my peers who have seen what I've done in camp, who lived with me and did the trials with me. When they voted for me to stay in for the final three, I couldn't hold back my tears. I was so moved. That acknowledgement meant everything."
