Myleene Klass is being tipped to join Adrian Chiles as co-host of GMTV in the autumn, according to the papers. The Sunday Mirror reports that the 32-year-old - who worked with Adrian on One Show when it began in 2007 - has had two screen tests for the job, and show bosses are keen to reunite the pair. The news comes as it was reported that Adrian's One Show co-presenter Christine Bleakley was out of the running for the job. According to reports she will stay at the BBC after signing a new two-year deal. "GMTV has been chopping and changing its line-up for the last few years. But the new team want to get this right from the start," a source told the Sunday Mirror. "Adrian's not the  easiest person to find a co-star for, but Myleene is tried and tested in terms of on-screen chemistry, so there's no risk of the  partnership  souring." Myleene sprang to fame as a member of Hear'Say, the band formed on the 2000 series Popstars. Since the band split she has become a hugely popular TV presenter as well as modelling for Marks and Spencer. She was recently seen as co-host of ITV1's Popstar To Operastar.
