Myleene Klass puts on a very leggy display in summer minidress as she leaves the Smooth Radio studios
Myleene Klass put on a very leggy display in a black and beige summer minidress as she left the Smooth Radio studios on Thursday. The radio presenter, 47, looked incredible in a palm print jersey dress which featured a v-neckline and flared skirt. She paired her elegant summery ensemble with a pair of white socks and white Sketchers trainers. To accessorise, Myleene added to her look with a stylish pair of black tinted sunglasses. Adding a hint of glamour, she toted around her belongings in a tan Chanel bag and finished her outfit with a myriad of gold jewellery. Myleene recently celebrated her MBE honour with a lavish royal-themed party where she was joined by family and celeb pals. The star was honoured for her services to women's health, miscarriage awareness and charity at an investiture ceremony on Wednesday. Myleene shared a clip on Instagram showing the highlights from the afterparty - although the number one star appeared to be her son Apollo, five, who supported her throughout the event. The star couldn't look prouder of her achievement, as she was captured partying it all up with pals, including the likes of Christine Lampard, Nicole and Natalie Appleton. The stunning two-tier cake was made with a crown on top, while royal-themed photo props were spread about the room as Myleene recorded herself having fun. Cherishing her achievement, the TV star wrote a lengthy caption alongside the video: 'It takes a village… I didn't do it alone. Thank you my fam, I love you all so much.' She continued: 'A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.' Greek proverb 'We are Mamas. We do this for our babies so they'll know we are forever watching over, loving and protecting them. She concluded emotionally: 'The change in these Miscarriage and Women's health laws/models of care came too late for me and the majority of my friends and colleagues, but our children will, through our relentless work, hopefully know less heartache.' Myleene looked typically chic in an all-white suit including fitting trousers and blazer - while showing off her new pin proudly. Her little man Apollo, whom she shares with her fiancé Simon Motson, looked cute in a navy suit and tie. After being presented with the medal by King Charles at Windsor Castle on Wednesday, Myleene took to her Instagram to mark her achievement in a very racy way. She stripped down to pose in her lavish clawfoot tub, wearing nothing but a sparkling tiara on her head - in a mirror image of Princess Margaret's iconic bath snap. The younger sister of Queen Elizabeth II was famously photographed by her then-husband Antony Armstrong-Jones in 1962, wearing the dazzling Poltimore tiara while soaking in the tub. Following Wednesday's investiture ceremony, she took to her Instagram to admit she was 'utterly overjoyed and humbled' to receive the honour. The former Hear'Say star was joined by her fiancé Simon Motson, son Apollo, and her two daughters, Ava, 17, and Hero, 13, who she shares with ex-husband Graham Quinn. Myleene has campaigned for paid bereavement leave to be extended to those who experience a miscarriage. The mother-of-three suffered four miscarriages and has spoken openly about the psychological effects of baby loss on women. She is an ambassador for the pregnancy and baby charity Tommy's and fronted the Bafta-nominated documentary Myleene Klass: Miscarriage And Me in 2021, in which she met women around the UK to hear their experiences. Sharing a slew of photos from Windsor Castle, Myleene wrote: 'Having my family there and our rainbow baby boy was extra magical in what has at times been a very dark journey for us all.' While she concluded her post: 'Before this and my (bafta nominated) documentary Myleene Klass: Miscarriage and Me, it did feel like no one really mentioned the dark secret of Miscarriage, the shame, the taboo, now, it's said loudly in the walls of the Palace and around Westminster.

Driver has narrow escape as metal object smashes through windscreen
A driver had a narrow escape when a metal object smashed through his windscreen and sliced his head open as he drove along a motorway. Jake Gray, a 31-year-old welder, was travelling to work in his VW Golf when the piece of metal flew through his front windscreen and out of the rear window. The father of two was left with a severe head wound pouring with blood, but managed to safely pull on to the hard shoulder of the M56 in Cheshire. The mystery object had missed his face by a matter of inches. He called police after the incident on May 29 and was taken to hospital in Warrington, where he was treated for a hairline fracture of the skull. Mr Gray, of Stockton, County Durham, said: 'I was on my way to work listening to Smooth Radio, and then suddenly I blinked and noticed my window was completely smashed. 'It was completely obliterated by this object that had come through, glass shattered in my face and I looked down and I was covered in blood. It has sliced straight through the windscreen and it's gone out the rear window too, which was also smashed, so it went right through the car. 'I somehow managed to pull over safely and called 999. It all happened in the blink of an eye and I was screaming in panic because of the blood. But it could have been a lot worse. I could easily have been decapitated.' Police and highways officers were unable to find the object at the scene of the incident, between junctions 10 for Stretton and 11 for Daresbury. A Cheshire Constabulary spokesman said: 'At around 6.15am on May 29, police received reports of a road traffic incident on the M56 between junctions 10 and 11. 'The caller reported an unknown object had hit his vehicle, smashing the windscreen and causing an injury to his head. He was taken to hospital and later discharged. Inquiries are currently ongoing.' A National Highways spokesman said: 'Our thoughts are with Mr Gray after this incident. While it would be inappropriate to comment on the details of this specific incident due the police investigation, National Highways has rigorous motorways inspection, reactive and routine maintenance regimes to tackle defects and remove debris. 'In urgent cases, we can and do close lanes or a carriageway to remove debris including after collisions or in cases where items have fallen from vehicles. The next planned 'sweep' of this section of the M56 is at the end of the month. 'Anyone spotting hazardous debris can report it to us, when they can do so safely, by calling our 24-7 customer contact centre on 0300 123 5000.' Anyone with information is asked call Cheshire Constabulary on 101, quoting crime reference number 25000440305. Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.

Myleene Klass shows off her figure in a white boob tube as she enjoys London sunshine outside Smooth radio studios
Myleene Klass showed off her incredible figure in a white boob tube as she enjoyed the London sunshine on Sunday. The singer-turned-presenter, 47, looked amazing in her stylish outfit after work at the Smooth Radio studios. She paired the boob tube with a pair of oversized brown trousers, a Chanel black belt, pink bag and matching white sunglasses. The look was completed by a pair of gold statement earrings and Myleene's choice of a glamorous red lip. Myleene kept it cool and casual by letting her long brown hair flow freely and wearing a pair of black, open-toed sandals. The star presents the popular weekly Smooth Classics show at the station on the weekends. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Myleene previously said the key to her slim physique is eating the right kinds of foods. She explained that when she is hungry, she resists the urge to eat junk food and opts for ample healthier options instead. However, Myleene admits that she still allows herself the occasional sweet treat to avoid going 'mental'. Myleene explained that when her old band Hear'Say split up, she developed a 'chaotic eating routine' that saw her become a size 16. She told Women's Health: 'I'm not naturally slim. I'm 5ft 5in and I'm not a model. 'I used to do that whole thing of, "I'm not going to go near chocolate" and all that happens is that three days later it's all I'm craving and I just go mental.' The star also has a stringent workout routine that consists of Pilates, boxing, and core work.
