Myleene Klass has confessed that she stole toilet roll from the Pope. The Sun said that the presenter, 33, also revealed that she gave away sheets of the loo roll as Christmas presents after taking them from the Italian summer retreat of Pope Benedict XVI. Myleene, who pilfered the toilet tissue while filming for BBC One's Heaven And Earth Show, said: "The Pope wasn't actually there, but I did take some loo roll. "And I made Christmas presents out of it. I stuck a piece of tissue, and I'd write, 'Papal loo roll; a tissue. Bless you.' It's so bad it's good, right? "I gave it to a few friends and I framed some up too. It's very special because it's got papal wreaths embossed all over it in little green laurel leaves. "I was amazed that they gave us such free reign to explore." The former Hear'Say singer also revealed she was in possession of another 'souvenir' - writing paper from Downing Street which she uses to write notes on her fridge.
