I'm A Celebrity's Carol and Myleene say they binned bathroom scales in body positive chat

Carol Vorderman and Myleene Klass reveal they took drastic action regarding their weight on I'm A Celebrity...South Africa tonight.

The Countdown queen, 62, and Hear'Say star, 45, have been battling it out in the Kruger National Park before the show's final on Friday.

Asking Myleene if she thought she'd lost weight, Carol revealed she threw her bathroom scales away in 1999.

"Ive not known my weight this century," she said proudly.

Myleene agreed, saying she also doesn't own scales, asking: "Why would you let your children measure their contribution and value by what's on the scale?"

As her campmate claimed magazines teach women to 'look at themselves critically', Carol agreed, saying "95% of women" felt that way.

Myleene continued: "I remember a magazine drew a circle around my ribcage and my cellulite and put it on the cover.

"Body positivity is so important. I want my girls to feel empowered by what their abilities are and what they have to say for themselves."

In autumn 2020, Myleene announced she was engaged to her fashion PR partner Simon Motson on the fifth anniversary of their first date.

The couple welcomed their first child together, Apollo, in August 2019.

The singer also has two children named Ava (born 2007) and Hero (born 2011), from her first marriage.

The star hit back at trolls last night after recreating her iconic white bikini scene 17 years later.

The singer sent fans into a frenzy when she originally rocked the tiny white two-piece in the shower in the jungle in Australia in 2006.

And last night, after almost two decades, Myleene slipped into a similar bikini - in scenes which divided viewers.

On Tuesday's episode, she showed off her incredible physique as she made her way to the camp's shower.

Many viewers thought the mum-of-three looked sensational, but some accused Myleene of 'stripping down to a bikini to win the show'.

One wrote: "You’re an intelligent bright girl but so disappointing that you feel that you have to strip down to your bikini to win the show!

"You really are so much better than that. Such a shame Mylene."

Myleene responded to comment, writing: "Intelligent bright girls know they can't shower in a boiler suit.

"You can win trials, play a piano, raise a family and wear a bikini. They're not mutually exclusive."
