Twiggy helps Klass juggle work, daughter

Myleene Klass has revealed that Twiggy helped her to balance her family and career.

Klass, who met Twiggy when they filmed television adverts for Marks & Spencer, explained that she takes her daughter Ava wherever she goes.

"Aunt Twiggy was the one who suggested that I bring Ava with me when working abroad," Hello quotes her as saying. "I've just done 80 Days Around The World for the BBC and got to take her with me. She's done 40 countries and she's just hit two."

Klass admitted that it can be difficult to juggle her work and her daughter, but added that she is grateful to get jobs.

"I'm busy, but why shy away from hard work?" she said. "There's so much unemployment at the moment I'm really grateful for having a job, especially one where I can bring my daughter to work with me."

Comedian Katy Brand recently complained that Klass is "smug" for talking about being a working mum.
