The Baby K range for boys sees bold patterns, quirky cuts and vibrant colours. Girls are spoilt for choice with a selection of beautiful dresses that will suit every occasion.
Speaking of the new collection, Myleene says: “The Baby K collection has gone from strength to strength and SS11 is no exception. It’s as vibrant, fun, stylish and practical as ever. However, due to overwhelming demand from mummies, big brothers and sisters, we now go up to the age of 5!”

A heavily pregnant Myleene joins the Loose Ladies for a chat about her TV new series 'World's Youngest Daredevils' where children that embark on extreme activities, and the job involved her watching young children cage fighting and even bull fighting.
Today, before sunrise, the iconic EDF Energy London Eye cast a brilliant light across London to symbolise a low carbon vision for the Capital and beyond. It marks the launch of EDF Energy’s three-year sponsorship with Merlin Entertainment’s iconic attraction – the London Eye.
This symbolic sunrise aims to help Britons to take action against climate change and sign up to Team Green Britain (teamgreenbritain.org), a growing group of people, schools and communities engaged in tackling climate change. Joining the team is our very own Myleene Klass who has pledged to start living a more sustainable lifestyle and support EDF Energy’s low carbon vision for London.
Myleene commented “It was incredibly exciting to stand on the riverbank this morning and watch the sky light up in a powerful symbol to help us all to think about our own carbon footprint. As a mum who is expecting my second child, it really makes sustainability issues hit home. I want to do my part as part of EDF Energy’s Team Green Britain to tackle climate change and protect the planet for my children and future generations.”
As well as using its expertise as Britain’s largest producer of low carbon electricity to help Merlin reduce the London Eye’s overall carbon footprint, EDF Energy will guarantee that every single unit of energy used by the EDF Energy London Eye is matched with energy generated from low carbon sources.
The World's Youngest Daredevils
Airs Tuesday 1 February 9.00-10.00pm on Sky Living
In this one hour documentary special, Myleene sets off on an incredible journey to discover exceptional children with remarkable talents – the world’s youngest daredevils. In the UK, the daily activities of these children would be considered extreme, unacceptable even. But within their own cultures they receive public acclaim and their exceptional skills are widely celebrated.
As a child prodigy herself in music and piano, Myleene has a unique insight into what it's like to sacrifice normal childhood freedoms to excel at something you love. As she journeys from America’s Deep South and Mexico to the heart of Spain, Myleene is charmed and entertained by these charismatic children who show incredible bravery and put their lives at risk on a daily basis.
In Tennessee, she meets Robbie 10, Lauren 10, and Kyle 9 – all cagefighters under the tuition of promoter Bunny Hawkersmith. The sport is flourishing at junior level in Tennessee, one of the last states where live cage fighting is permitted, and the youngsters often perform to large crowds as the warm-up act for adult fighters.
When Myleene visits a world-famous bull fighting school in Mexico, where children as young as three are trained in the traditional but controversial sport, she meets 12 year old Michaelito, the ‘baby bullfighter’. The son of a matador, he wows crowds as the only child matador allowed to take on full sized bulls. In Spain, 12 year-old Jorge Elich entered the Guinness Book of Records four years ago as the world’s youngest lion tamer. As Myleene witnesses him perform with his pride of lions in his family’s circus, she discovers not just his talent – but that he is also the family’s primary bread-winner.
Although some of these activities are highly controversial in the UK, they are accepted in their home countries where there are different attitudes towards animals and the age at which children should take on responsibility.
As Myleene meets these remarkable children, she is inspired by their stories and learns of their love for what they do, the public acclaim they receive and the deep-rooted family traditions they uphold. She also speaks with their parents and learns why they’re willing to accept their children taking these risks and the allure of fame and fortune. And, as she discovers, whether you agree with the risks the children take or not, you can’t help but admire their incredible ingenuity, exceptional bravery and remarkable talent.
Myleene Klass talks about Marks & Spencer's fantastic new collection of shapewear, which is guaranteed to make you look fantastic.
Right in time for the party season!
