TV presenter Myleene Klass has thanked model Twiggy for suggesting she take her daughter to work with her.

Myleene, 31, has a two-year-old daughter Ava and the youngster has travelled to 40 countries. Myleene said that her fellow M&S model Twiggy suggested she take Ava around the world with her when she works abroad.

She said: “Aunty Twiggy was the one who suggested that I bring Ava with me when working abroad.”

Myleene was recently in Costa Rica to host the US version of I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.

She added: “The great thing with Costa Rica was that when the filming was done, my daughter Ava and I went looking for monkeys and swimming. I’ve just done 80 Days Around The World for the BBC and got to bring her with me.

“She’s done 40 countries and she’s just hit two. I’m busy but why shy away from hard work?

“There’s so much unemployment at the moment I’m really grateful for having a job, especially one where I can bring my daughter to work with me. I’m very fortunate.”
