Myleene Klass was her own best advertisement as she modelled her new swimwear range with Next after jetting off for a stunning beach shoot.
The TV and radio star, 46, showcased her new designs for the high street giant as she slipped into a range of bikinis and swimsuits.
Myleene modelled a black and white leaf print two-piece, which consisted of a string halterneck top and a pair of skimpy matching bottoms.
In one shot, the mother of three wore her brunette locks loose and opted for natural make-up, while accessorising with a selection of gold necklaces.
It comes after Myleene revealed she has become a coach for children at her old secondary school in Norfolk.

As a child, Myleene attended Cliff Park Ormiston Academy in Gorleston-on-Sea, Great Yarmouth, but she admitted returning as an adult was ‘sobering’.
Myleene, who took her daughters Ava and Hero, revealed to the Sunday Times: ‘I said, ‘Let’s go visit my old school, I’ll show you the music department where it all began for me’.
‘There was no music department as I remembered it. We walked round the school. It was sobering. When I attended, I had music lessons on the violin for free, was in the choir and the orchestra.’
Myleene, who had planned on helping the school with their music department, said that she was shocked to learn how much needed to be done.
She said: ‘As the headmaster of my old school frankly put it, “You came here trying to get their grades up. Now you realise, I’m just trying to keep them alive.” That was one of the most sobering things I had ever heard.’
Myleene’s role as a coach at the school involves her keeping in touch with the pupils and calling them even when she is in far-flung locations.
Myeene most recently met vulnerable pregnant women and healthcare staff during a visit to the Colombia border, saying she was ‘blown away’ by the lack of safety surrounding maternal health support.
The health advocate travelled to an emergency health unit in the La Guajira region, set up by charity Save The Children, of which she is a proud ambassador.

While in the country, the winner of I’m a Celebrity… South Africa threw herself into the activities, modelling a nursing vest and doting over the adorable newborn babies.
She said of the trip: ‘As a mother I just cannot comprehend how pregnant women, so many pregnant women every week, are having to put themselves in danger, travelling for days, just to get the maternal and newborn healthcare they vitally need.
‘I’ve been blown away by the care and compassion of the healthcare staff at the Save the Children’s emergency health unit in Colombia, who are working tirelessly to ensure the mothers are supported and their children are born safely into the world.’
She continued: ‘The mums I’ve met are all striving to provide the best for their children, despite the circumstances they have come from.
‘I think the thing that binds us – the commonality that we all have as mums – is we just want the absolute best for our children.
‘No woman should have to give birth alone and risk losing their baby or their life – it’s shocking and totally unacceptable.’

She added: ‘There is both a strength and fragility when it comes to giving birth. But what should be a sacred, nurturing time for most women is often an isolated, terrifying one.
‘To see a hammock next to a ‘western’ bed with stirrups in this hospital was inspiring – knowing that the women from different communities who come here are thoroughly nurtured and cared for.
‘The support of midwives and health workers here is so important and the passion they have for their patients shines through.
‘When you’re a mum irrespective of language barriers and jobs and situation you deserve to speak the same language – that’s the one of motherhood.’
