Airbrushing, by M&S: Myleene gets her love handles erased for bikini promo
Last updated at 15:58pm on 29.03.08Classical musician and television presenter Myleene Klass has one of the most envied celebrity figures.
But the curvy star's love handles were considered surplus to requirements by M&S, who erased them in the newly released photos for their summer swimwear advertising campaign.
Just five months after she gave birth, Myleene was back at work on a South African beach posing in a sunny yellow bikini.

Sleek: Myleene Klass' new promotional shot for M&S summer swimwear campaign reveals an enviably sleek physique - after her love handles were trimmed
And although she looked in pretty amazing shape for a new mother, as these pictures show, the 29-year-old television presenter was given the Photoshop treatment to trim her curvy love handles.
The results can clearly be seen in the newly released promotional shot of the stunning classical artist, which shows a very sleek-figured Myleene, with very trim hips.
However, in the un-retouched photo, her curvy love handles can be seen slightly overhanging her bikini bottoms.

New mum: Myleene completed the photoshoot in January, just five months after giving birth to daughter Ava, and the star looked slim and curvy post-baby
Myleene, who gave birth to baby Ava last August, showed off her trim figure as she modelled on the beach on South Africa, for Marks & Spencer's summer swimwear campaign.
Thinner: Myleene looked slimmer than ever earlier this month at an awards show she hosted
She said recently: "Here I am surrounded by these models who are six foot two and they've got perfect bodies, but then I'm thinking, well, my role here is to be me.
"When M&S signed me up, they knew that I'm only five foot five and a half and not a size zero.
"I'm certainly not a supermodel, like Twiggy or Erin O'Connor."
But since then, she appears to have lost even more weight, as she showed off a very slim figure at the Mayfair Personality of the Year Awards at the Grosvenor House Hotel earlier this month.
Myleene's ultra-slim appearance prompted onlookers to wonder where her famous curves had disappeared to.
The star has put her rapid weight loss down to her hectic schedule and the demands of motherhood.
She has said: "I think breast-feeding helped, and running up and down stairs all day."
But her shrinking frame is likely to disappoint admirers - including fiancé Graham 'Gray' Quinn - who have celebrated her shapely physique.
Myleene said recently: "Gray hates it when I get too thin, he calls me Boney M."

Get real Jonathan -you seem to have the same views as James. I'd like to see exactly what you both look like, something tells me you're not perfect, just like the rest of us. Just because we're standing up for her, you think we all need to go to the gym? What a small minded view that is.

I love the fact that she has her own show on a TV channel no one watches, the premise is that a bunch of D-list celebrities criticise the dress sense of A-list celebrities, which just smacks of desperation.

Sounds like James likes the pre-pubescent and anorexic types - I guess M&S better get cracking and find themselves a 13 year old anorexic to make him happy!
