RADIO presenter Myleene Klass will avoid an awkward run-in with rival Frankie Bridge at the National Television Awards next month.
Myleene, 47, is up for a gong as part of the ITV Loose Women panel, but will skip the event at London’s O2 Arena.
It also means dodging a spat with Frankie’s ex-Saturdays bandmate Rochelle Humes, nominated for her This Morning role.
A source said: “There has been wild speculation lately that the women don’t get on after falling out years ago.
“Fortunately, they will avoid a public clash as Myleene, who has been a regular at the glitzy event over the years, is swerving it this year as she has work commitments.”
Myleene fell out with Frankie and Rochelle, both 36, over their friendships with her ex-hubby Graham Quinn — who she says she caught in a clinch with an unnamed celeb.

Yesterday, Frankie admitted to feeling like a ‘burden’ as she battled depression amid her feud with Myleene.
Loose Women shared a clip of the star, which saw her talking about her battles with depression and anxiety on the show.
Frankie has often been candid with fans and Loose Women viewers about how she feels.
She could be heard saying in the clip: “For me, having depression and anxiety, I often feel that you become a bit of a weight on the family.
“I think you don’t need to be cared for in the same way, and I feel if I am going through a dip and my depression is particularly bad that I am bringing a bad aura and a bad feeling into the house.”
Frankie went on: “I do often think of Wayne and the kids and think well, you know, they would have been better off with someone who didn’t have those issues.
“Someone who could naturally just be happy all the time and not have those dips and I feel sorry for them sometimes that they have to deal with me.
“You do feel like a bit of a burden sometimes.”
Frankie ended by saying: “It’s very different to having to be physically looked after, but I think it’s still something that people feel.”
