Since the initial launch of Baby K back in Autumn 2008, Myleene and Mothercare have been working hard on the new Spring Collection due for release on the 11th March.

Speaking about the new collection, Myleene said "I'm really excited about my new Spring collection, especially after the success of the Autumn Range. I wanted to offer Mums a range of baby clothes and accessories that is desirable, practical and affordable while looking after the needs of the little one."

"With Spring around the corner, we have designed a gorgeous new range for March 09, with all of the elements you already love – the attention to detail and cuteness factor, combined with the new fashion trends and a fresh, vibrant colour palette."

We have got a sneek peek of the new collection in Myleene's Baby K section – make sure you check it out! The range will be available in Mothercare stores across the country from 11th March 09.

Myleene is featured in a new advert for Marks and Spencer in which she showcases some of their new collection, but this time with a twist! Take a look for yourselves to find out what we mean, click on the thumbnail for an enlargement.

Speaking about the campaign recently Myleene said, "I know that my manager will be pleased as he's always saying his life would be much easier if he had ‘two of me'….I'm guessing that's the polar opposite of how Gray feels!!"

You can see the campaign in national press now.

As lots of you have probably already seen, Myleene's advert for Pantene Pro V's Volume and Body collection has been airing on TV for the past couple of weeks. We think its great, and Myleene beautifully plays her own interpretation of Daft Punk's 'Aerodynamic'.

If you've not had the chance to see it, don't worry pop over to our new Pantene section to watch to the video or check it out on Myleene's YouTube Channel.

After a prolific 2008, hosting her Classic FM weekend breakfast show, presenting Last Choir Standing on BBC 1 and reporting for CNN, Myleene Klass announces a brand new role – as Pantene Pro V's global ambassador.

2009 promises to be even more exciting for Myleene. As well as adding the prestigious position of Ten Years Younger host to her impressive CV, Myleene stars in Pantene's stunning new advertising campaign for the launch of its Volume and Body range.

This show-stopping film sees Myleene where's she's most at home – sat at a classical Grand Piano. Filmed in a striking all-white studio in Prague – a historic city famous for its opera and classical music – Myleene plays Daft Punk's 'Aerodynamic' wearing a bespoke gown. As well as showing off her tremendous talent for music, the film also showcases her extraordinary beauty – her full bodied, luxe-shine long hair, cared for and styled with the products from Pantene's Volume and Body range, dances along as she throws herself into the music. As Myleene says herself: "As a pianist there's not much excitement from the back so I have to make sure my hair is a feature." It's a performance not to be missed.

Myleene has also revealed that in becoming the new face of Pantene she has achieved one of her childhood ambitions – "What little girl doesn't want to swish her hair in an ad? It's the ultimate girly treat!" It seems the public wanted to see her in the role too. In a survey of 1000 UK women, Myleene was chosen ahead of other celebrity favourites, thanks to her healthy and voluminous hair.

Myleene's hectic work schedule sees her playing classical piano one day, presenting on TV the next and then hitting the red carpet, not to mention all the plane-hopping. She's the first to admit she needs exceptional hair care. "My main hair issues are not having much time and not quite knowing what state my hair will be in because it is very very handled," she explains. "Sometimes I'll do three shoots in a day, which is a lot of styling. Then I might be on TV in the evening and you literally can't have a hair out of place. That's why I need a good shampoo and conditioner!"

But why does she love Pantene? "The qualities that Pantene put forward are things I believe in as opposed to something unachievable…I don't have hair extensions, my hair is real and what Pantene provides, the way it looks after my hair, is very effortless. It does what it says on the tin and how many products really do that?

Myleene launched her new range of baby clothes this morning at Mothercare Oxford Street. Greeted by the press and fans Myleene showed off the range with the help of her little models and held up a few of her favourite pieces from the range.

The range, now available in Mothercare store across the country, is for children aged 0-3years and includes a range of clothes from party dresses, leather jackets, socks, bibs and other accessories and can be viewed online at Mothercare's website.

This evening at the Metropolitan Hotel in Central London Myleene previewed her new range of clothing aimed at children 0-3 years. 'Baby K' is the culmination of months of work in partnership with high street retailer Mothercare and includes newborn essentials, perfect gift ideas, special occasion dresses and fabulous funky accessories.

Speaking to Myleene she said "Its been great fun designing these clothes, I've literally sat down at home and looked at what works for babies from my own experiences. I've tried to be really responsible too, checking zippers, making sure buttons don't drop off and that things wash well. Come September its going to be quite exciting to see little children in my range, adorable!"

We've got a sneek preview of the range which you can see in our brand new Baby K section – so make sure you check it out!

The range launches in September exclusive to Mothercare, and to keep updated you can head to Mothercare's website to sign up for updates.
