TV and radio presenter Myleene Klass has been awarded an MBE in the King's Birthday Honours list, recognising her outstanding contributions to music and media. The star, known for her work on shows like I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! and Classic FM, dedicated the prestigious accolade to single mothers across the UK.
In an emotional statement, Klass shared: "This is for every single mum out there. You are seen, you are heard, and you are incredible." The 46-year-old, who has two daughters, has been a vocal advocate for single-parent families, often sharing her own experiences to inspire others.
A Career of Achievements
Klass first rose to fame as a member of the pop group Hear'Say before transitioning into television presenting. Her versatility has seen her host everything from classical music programmes to reality TV, making her one of Britain's most recognisable media personalities.
The MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire) is awarded to individuals for significant achievements or outstanding service to their community. Klass joins an illustrious list of entertainment figures honoured this year.
Inspiring Single Parents
Klass has been particularly open about the challenges of balancing a high-profile career with single parenthood. She frequently uses her platform to champion causes supporting single-parent families and has worked with charities to improve resources for this often-overlooked demographic.
Her heartfelt dedication has resonated widely on social media, with many single mothers expressing gratitude for the recognition. One fan tweeted: "Finally, someone acknowledges how hard we work! Thank you Myleene for using your voice for us."
The ceremony will take place at Buckingham Palace later this year, where Klass will officially receive her honour from a member of the royal family.
