Loose Women star Myleene Klass has spoken of the moment she was forced to shield her baby daughter from a dog attack in a park. The panic and fear of the incident came back as the panel discussed Tom Parker-Bowles's own ordeal with a mastiff.
Speaking on Thursday's show, Klass told Kaye Adams, Nadia Sawalha and Jane Moore that she was putting her first child, Ava, then about four months old, into a car seat when a dog suddenly ran at them. She threw herself over the car seat to protect the infant as the animal began mauling her.
'The dog was on top of me and it was just mauling away and it was utterly terrifying because I didn't know how long it was going to go on for,' she said. 'I could hear the owner shouting and other people trying to help but all I could think about was trying to cover Ava.'
The discussion follows revelations that police forces across the UK have recorded a huge spike in dog attacks in recent years. Figures showed Cleveland Police logged a 163% rise between 2019 and 2024, with other forces also reporting significant increases.
Thursday's episode also featured Big Brother host AJ Odudu and Diversity's Ashley Bango, who shared details of their latest work projects.
