Mother-to-be Myleene Klass showed no signs of slowing her workload today as she celebrated her new album hitting the top spot and a new role as presenter of a prime time show.

The 29-year-old is due to give birth to her first child at the beginning of September but is determined the mere fact she is eight-months pregnant will not hold her back.

A blooming Myleene was in celebratory mood at Classic FM's studios in London after hearing her album Myleene's 'Music for Romance' has made it to number one in the classical chart after just a week on sale.

And not content with assaulting the airwaves, she has also been promoted to host BBC's 'The One Show' alongside Adrian Chiles, which will hit our screens tomorrow night.

Myleene had been due to be a roving reporter but her work apparently impressed producers so much that she was given a screen test and then upgraded to co-present it.

Marking the double celebration with a "Number One" cake and with her fiancé Graham Quinn at her side, she said today that she was "beside herself" about being given such an opportunity.

She said: "It's a show by the people for the people and that is what is so exciting about it."

And she showed few qualms about taking on more work at such a late stage in her pregnancy, with just less than eight weeks to go until her first child - a baby girl - is due.

She said: "The way I look at it is that I am pacing myself. I do know my own body and when it says we're tired, I sleep and when it says we're hungry, I eat.

"At the same time I know a lot of working mums and pregnant women that are working hard and doing their best to build a future for their families and I want to stay as true to that as possible."

She added: "I do not think pregnancy should be viewed as something that slows me down. It should be something that enhances your life.

"My leg has not fallen off, I am growing a baby. It's all good news, really."

As she touched wood, she said that everything had gone well with the pregnancy so far, although she and Graham had still not managed to come up with any names for "Baby Quinn".

Myleene also admitted she is now a fully paid-up "baby bore" and warned anyone at a party with her to watch out because she will proffer her scan photos given half a chance.

The classically trained musician originally found fame with the shortlived manufactured band Hearsay, formed off the back of the talent show 'Popstars'.

She met her fiancé because of the band when he acted as their bodyguard and the couple have been together for six years and plan to marry sometime in the future.

After Hearsay broke up, Myleene launched a solo career but it was really her appearance on ITV's 'I'm A Celebrity…' show which catapulted her back into the public eye.

Since then, she has pursued numerous projects including presenting on television and radio, modelling for a resurgent Marks & Spencer and even presenting CNN's first film show.
