Adding some cosy finishing touches, the star opted for a black jumper and oversized padded coat.

Myleene left her brunette locks loose and added just a slick of make-up to enhance her pretty features.

The radio host’s appearance comes after she admitted she is hoping to walk away from Dancing On Ice with a ‘bum like J-Lo’s’.

Lopez’s, 51, recent vacation to Turks and Caicos left fans around the world aghast, as she showed off her incredibly age-defying figure in all its glory.

Talking ahead of the show start on Sunday, Myleene said: ‘When else would I get this chance? I’m a mum of three, a step-mum of two, there’s seven of us in our blended family. 

‘When else would a mum like me get the chance to learn a new skill. And I spent all of lockdown teaching children and teaching my music classes that went viral and now it’s time for me to learn a new skill.’

Myleene hilarious added: ‘And to be able to walk away with a bum like J-Lo’s… that’s the real reason I’m here, I am going to work so hard!’  

Despite her plans for a peachy posterior like Lopez, the musician also admitted that she is ‘terrified’ of getting her piano fingers ‘rolled over’.

She said: ‘Oh, I’m terrified of all of it! I’m terrified of my piano fingers getting rolled over. I don’t know why that’s a recurring fear but it just is. 

‘I think any time I’ve done a concert I’ve had to sign an indemnity insurance clause and I’ve had to sign all of these things that look after my fingers and now I’m actually in the line of fire I feel like I’m really going to have to look after my fingers.

‘By the nature of what it is I feel quite protective over my fingers. As a pianist I have to look after my fingers but I also have to life my life and I love the fact that I’m going to walk away with a new skill, new butt and fabulous wardrobe!’

Myleene added that the only other thing she has done as scary is I’m A Celebrity, which she appeared on in 2006.

She said: ‘I did the jungle and I remember when they asked me what my fear was I said dying. 

‘I thought if I say rats or spiders or snakes they’re going to land those on my head but it turned out they locked me in a coffin anyway so I’ve done that!’

The new series of Dancing On Ice will see the judges protected by perspex screens and no studio audience amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. 

Newly released images of the ITV show’s studios last week saw large screens placed in front of the judges chairs to shield Ashley Banjo, John Barrowman, Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean.

The judging panel will also be sat far apart, keeping in line with social distancing measures.

For the first time in its history the studio at Bovingdon Airfield in Hertfordshire will have no audience, a move mirroring that of Strictly Come Dancing.

The skating celebrities will also watch each other perform from socially-distanced tables to keep everyone safe from COVID-19. 

Dancing On Ice 2021 starts this Sunday at 6pm on ITV.
