TV presenter Klass caught in gunfire

Former Hear'Say singer and television presenter Myleene Klass has revealed that she was caught in gunfire during a recent trip to Afghanistan.

According to The Sun, the 28-year-old presenter had just boarded an RAF plane, to visit the troops' camp, when it was subjected to gunfire.

Klass said: "I had to wear a protective helmet and flak jacket. As we flew into Kabul I could hear this massive 'thwack' on the side of the plane."

"Then I could hear this grinding noise, which I found out was defence shields being put up. It scared the living daylights out of me," she said.

The television star travelled to Afghanistan to present the 59th Independent Commando Squadron Royal Engineers with a special recognition award as part of the Pride of Britain Awards.
