Myleene Klass turned heads in a bold red ensemble as she strut out of the Smooth Radio studios in London on Saturday.

The presenter, 47, went braless in the eye-catching plunging midi dress, which showcased her incredible figure.

She elevated her height in strappy nude heels and toted her belongings in a matching Chanel handbag. 

Myleene looked very glamorous for the occasion, with her brunette locks styled in a bouncy blow-dry, while completing the look with a red lip. 

It comes after Myleene passionately defended her children from 'nepo baby ' accusations, insisting her two teenage daughters earn their success.

Speaking exclusively to the Daily Mail, Myleene says their talents are born from hard work and believes Ava, 18, and Hero, 14, will never have to live off her name because 'they will always make money' – crediting herself for giving them the 'tools' to do so.

And the former Hear'Say singer, who is also a mother to son Apollo, six, with fiancé Simon Motson, has already encouraged them to work and made them aware they will not receive any handouts from her.

Last month, Ava received impressive A-Level results, 'four points off perfection' in her English exams, according to Myleene, who claimed her daughter's old school will be 'using her English paper as a teaching facility.'

And Myleene uses her daughters' intelligence – and their musical prowess – to swipe away that dreaded 'nepo baby' tag and insists 'you can't catch talent.'

The star said: 'She's done the piano for eight hours a day, she went to the Royal Academy of Music, she had to audition, they didn't just say 'Myleene Klass's daughter is showing up, give her a place', she had to audition, and that's the point.

'You could call my children nepo babies all day long but they can play Rachmaninoff concertos like the best of them.

'To what end are you going to decide that that's a nepo baby when they have worked and been on the grind for their own money and their own talent.

'Both of my daughters work at the weekends and some people have said 'you've put them to work early' but I'm a working mother, I want them to know the value of earning your own money and feel that gratification, I earned this and I'm going to decide when to spend it.

'I know they will be okay in life because they will always be able to make money, they have those tools and that was my job to make them have that but I can't play the piano for them.'

The Classic FM presenter says she brought up Ava and Hero very much as a 'single mum' following her split from their father, bodyguard Graham Quinn in 2013.

Myleene made headlines in July by claiming their breakup was because she caught Graham cheating on her with another, unnamed celebrity, which sent social media into a frenzy with fans trying to work out the guilty party.

Several female celebrities have been accused of being the culprit after Myleene teased that they are someone with a 'family brand.'

Speaking on Paul Brunson's podcast, Myleene said: 'I walked in on him with a famous person on my birthday on a balcony.

'I have made peace with that situation now but for a long time it was very difficult to see their life, not that I would wish that on a family, I don't know I feel conflicted but my life literally broke apart very, very publicly and their life they have continued to build a family brand on it.'

And with the bodyguard being out of the picture while Ava and Hero were growing up, Myleene was keen to become a role model for her daughters.

She believes her work ethic has rubbed off on them as they've seen her in action and even nicknamed her 'shark' because her ambitions have no limits.

Myleene explained: 'My daughter Ava did make me laugh, she said I'm like a shark, ferocious, go for what I want, out there, and she said no, if you stop moving, I think you'd die.

'I liked that because she can see that I don't just sit there and wait for things to come to me. I am a really impatient person, I'm pretty frenetic, I know how lucky I am that I have these opportunities and I want to grab them all.

'My children have come from a grafter and a self-made woman from Norfolk, a mixed race girl who paid into herself and I invested in my own lessons and in my own books, just trying to enlighten myself and get that foothold, there's no excuse for my children, they have seen it and know it can be done.

'I love the words of Cher - "Mom I am a rich man" - build it for yourself, don't wait for someone to hand it to you.'

The former I'm A Celeb star, who famously capitalised on the moment she wore a white bikini while showering in the Australian jungle, continued: 'It's 10 per cent what you say and 90 per cent what you do, they can see I'm a grafter and so I can't say, you go out and graft if I'm not doing the same.

'In the same way I lose the power when they want to wear certain items and they throw it back at me and say, well I've Googled and I've seen you wear it. I tell them, if you want something, you go and work for it because that's what I've done.

'I want them to have that gratification and that pride in themselves, you can give too much.

'My children already know that they're not going to get massive handouts but they are going to get opportunities. I will get them in the room, no problem.

'Like I said, you can call my children nepo babies and I'm sure people will but it is literally water off a duck's back because my daughter was at the Royal Academy of Music and now has top grades, she has proved that she's more than a nepo baby and my other daughter is about to do grade eight and you don't do grade eight until you're around 16/17 and she's only 14. They are proving the world wrong and our supporters right.'

In July, Myleene enjoyed her own moment of success when she was awarded an MBE for her services to women's health, miscarriage awareness and charity.

She was handed the gong by King Charles and brought along her children for the presentation at Windsor Castle.

Speaking about the honour, she said: 'I have walked into parliament, I have changed legislation and there hasn't always been a seat at the table for somebody like me.

'You have to not only build the chair, you have to build the table, a bigger table so you can sit at it and bring your girlfriends to it.

'We have people in government who make decisions for us who are male but we are female, you need someone female, mixed race, a working mother, speaking for us and for our children and I'm really proud to have been part in fulfilling that role.'

And describing the moment she came back to earth with a bang after meeting Charles, she added: 'It's quite funny, to my children I am just mum.

'When I got my MBE we had just seen the King and wore our new outfits and shoes and had the loveliest day together, we got back in the car and it was like a choir all three of them "I'm hungry", "have you got any snacks?" and it was just a humbling leveller.

'I had been surrounded by these tapestries and Queen Victoria's bible and Napoleon's bullet and it was so funny. I don't know how celebrities have kids and aren't humbled because my kids humble me on the daily.'

Myleene has collaborated with location sharing and safety app Life360, which allows families and friends to stay connected at home or on the move.

The mother-of-three says she relies on the app to manage her busy household and she's able to keep track of her children including when daughter Hero is on the bus to school.

Speaking about Life360, which is free to download but also offers a tiered subscription plan, Myleene said: 'I partnered with Life360 because we are huge fans of it in this house, we all use it, and it's really lovely to be part of their two tier campaign.

'We use it to manage our days, I can see when my daughter gets to school safely, I saw her get on the bus and watched her, made sure she got there safely and on time, made sure my son has his packed lunch box so that doesn't get left behind somewhere on a sports field.

'My daughter is learning to drive now so I can see the speed limit they go to. It gives them independence and me reassurance. The family within the remits of the app can all go about their day but they have autonomy over what they want to do. At the same time as a parent you can use this tech to keep a cohesive, family environment running really nicely.'

As children headed back to school this week, Life360 have launched a Parental Panic Hotline to help ease the daily stress felt by busy parents.

And Myleene has lent her vocals to the 24 hour hotline, which is available now until September 16, and acts as a 'moment of meditative calm' for mothers and fathers seeking peace.

Myleene added: 'The separate part of it is in conjunction with Calm we have come up with the Parental Panic Hotline which is my voice at the other end of it, it's meditative, if you want to scream into the abyss or into the void or feel less alone we're here so just give us a call.'

Myleene Klass has teamed up with leading family connection and safety app Life360 to introduce the Parental Panic Hotline. Available 24/7 until 16th September, the hotline offers parents a moment of calm during the back-to-school chaos, as new research reveals that 81 per cent of parents spend up to 520 hours per year stressing about their kids
