Where are your Klassic curves, Myleene?

- By Victoria Ibitoye Showbusine­ss Reporter

SHE became a household name after flaunting her curves in a white bikini as she showered in the I’m A Celebrity jungle.

But Myleene Klass, 8, looks quite different as she unveils a skinnier figure in photos of her Littlewood­s swimwear line.

The sight of the TV and radio presenter’s ribcage, hips and collar bones as she posed in a gold bikini left her fans concerned after she shared the image on Instagram.

One said: ‘Too skinny – you’ve lost your boobs, such a shame.’

Last night, a GP warned that Miss Klass appeared to have succumbed to the celebrity trend for the ‘malnourish­ed look’.

Dr Sarah Jarvis, of the medical website Patient.info, said: ‘A number of celebritie­s go through phases where they lose a lot of weight. Most are under pressure to not look fat.

‘Inevitably, people who yo-yo diet have a higher risk of eating disorders and can experience a number of health issues and mineral deficienci­es.

‘The malnourish­ed look is when BMI is under 18.5. If they are not normally like this, chances are they are putting their health at risk.’

BMI shows the healthy weight range for a person based on their height and weight.

Speaking in 2010 of her inconsiste­nt dieting, Miss Klass admitted: ‘I’ve yo-yoed up and down three times – and I will again!’ But she has always insisted that she wants to be a healthy role model for her daughters.

Last night, her manager Jonathan Shalit said she was ‘very fit and healthy and could not be happier’, adding: ‘Myleene is not going for any “look” – she is a healthy active working mother.’
