Myleene Klass to present 10 Years Younger

Channel 4 have secured Myleene Klass to present a brand new version of the popular make-over show 10 Years Younger.

The series returns early next year as 10 Years Younger: The Challenge, with an exciting new format twist: it’s Natural vs The Knife as two very different methods to achieve a younger look go head to head, but who will drop the most years? The programme will tackle two members of the public who look old before their time: one will go down the surgery route, while the other avoids the knife and needles and instead uses great make-up, new hair and clever fashion ideas to drop more than a decade the natural way.

Myleene Klass says: “It's a real privilege to present such a well established show that makes a monumental difference to people's lives. I have been filming the show for the past few days and already there are so many jaw dropping, heart warming moments. Like everyone else, I can't wait to see the transformations, as well as picking up lots of tips along the way!"

Andrew Jackson, Editor, Features, says: “We’re thrilled to have Myleene on board as the format has been reinvented at a time when the pressure to look young, and the choices available to achieve that look, are being examined so closely. From her days as a pop star through to her modelling career, Myleene knows exactly what it’s like to have her face and body scrutinised so she’ll be able to relate to the men and women featured in the programme.”

Nicky Hambleton-Jones has left the programme to pursue other projects.

Sue Murphy, Head of Features, says: “Nicky has done a good job for the programme, working as part of a fantastic team that has helped make 10 Years Younger a success. We wish her all the very best for future projects.”

10 Years Younger is produced by Maverick Television, the production company behind Miss Naked Beauty, Embarrassing Teenage Bodies and How to Look Good Naked.
