'What I can help with is… Does it hurt? No How long does it take? 6.5 minutes!!!!! (the paperwork and preliminary tests (are my iron levels high enough? have I had enough water? etc) took longer)

'Do you have to rest afterwards? I went straight to school pick up, the polling stations then the red/black carpet…. spot the injection site.

'Why do you do it? I feel lucky in my life so paying it forward, I know people who’ve needed blood and it could be my kids one day relying on the help of strangers, 1 pint helps save 3 people, because they give you a packet of custard creams afterwards

Myleene paired the look with some chunky gold platform heels and appeared in great spirits as she sashayed around, showing off the tulle skirt in all its glory.

The I'm A Celebrity star had a hair makeover with blonde extensions which she styled in a poker straight look.

The outing comes after Myleene opened up about the fat-shaming and drug use that went on among pop stars in the 90s.

The eye-opening stories came during her appearance on ITV's Loose Women on Friday.

As the panel discussed the issues that come with fame at a young age, following the tragic passing of Liam Payne at 31, the former Hear'Say singer, reflected on her own time in a band.

Liam fell 45ft from the third floor into the courtyard of the Casa Sur Hotel in Buenos Aires on Wednesday, prompting a wave of tributes from across the showbiz world.

As Myleene joined fellow panelists Kay Adams, 61, GK Barry, 25, and Katie Piper, 41, to discuss the difficulties of being in the public eye.

When asked if she struggled in her younger years, the singer and broadcaster said: 'I was in a band in my early twenties and the experience of it... it was absolutely incredible when it was incredible.

'But when it was low it's so difficult to comprehend because we're almost unforgiving of anyone who's struggling in these circumstances because you think, "Well you've got fame, you've got money, you can go to any party you like, I saw you on a private jet yesterday.

'"Why's your life so hard when I'm trying to make ends meet," so we're quite unforgiving of it.'

She continued: 'They're like Icarus, they fly too close to the sun. There's a literal line of so much pop roadkill because of the experiences they go through.

'So if we see somebody taking drugs there are few scenarios where you would allow that or occupations where you would get away with that but it's almost encouraged because it plays into that rock and roll lifestyle.'

Hear'Say formed on ITV show Popstars in 2001 and found success with their number one hit Pure and Simple.

Their first album Popstars was a huge hit but their success quickly dwindled by the time they released their second album Everybody.

They split up in October 2002, less than two years after being put together on Popstars and cited 'abuse from the public' at the time as the primary reason behind the breakup.
