Myleene Klass won't "allow" her children to be sexualised.
The television personality has insisted she will do all she can to avoid her kids, Ava, seven, and Hero, four, from being exposed to things they shouldn't and has banned them from having mobile phones or iPads.
She said: "My children don't own mobiles or iPads. I won't swear in front of them and I don't let them watch pop videos because there is so much in them they shouldn't see yet. I don't need to be fast-forwarding their lives.
"I would rather explain things to them in their own time than have them watch someone on TV with their crotch out, legs akimbo.
"I am hugely aware of over-sexualisation of kids and I won't allow anything in my range that can be sexualised. Cherries, for example, are banned and I have a team specifically looking out for all that and making sure nothing inappropriate is put out."
The 37-year-old star - who has her own Baby K Mothercare line - has also defended her decision to include black and lace outfits in her clothing range for the children's retailer.
She added to the Daily Mirror newspaper: "My kids' range is inspired by the Mediterranean, where they wear a lot of lace and a lot of black. I also happen to think black is very practical for young children who are playing, eating and spilling stuff.
"It has been going 10 years and sells in 32 countries. I must be doing something right."

'Celebrity Big Brother's Jenna Jameson wants to "bed" Tila Tequila.
The former porn star may be engaged to Israeli diamond broker Lior Bitton but she hasn't ruled out a romance in the reality show house.
She said: "Tila has been nasty about me in the past on social media but I'd still like to bed her down. She is gorgeous, beautiful and fantastic. I love girls who embrace their sexuality and are prepared to rock 'n' roll with it. It's beautiful.
"Okay, I'm engaged to be married but I hope there's still the chance of romance for me in the 'Big Brother' house. I have never turned my back on bisexuality. I test every water. But I Iove men and nothing can take the place of a man."
And the 41-year-old model has insisted her third marriage is "for real".
She added: "I'm getting married for the third time - but every time is special. I don't want to diminish any of my past marriages but this time it's for real."
Jenna is fancying her chances on the reality show, admitting she is going in with a game plan.
She told The Sun newspaper: "I'm going to bring on the heat. In my mind I've already won. There's never been a time in my life when I have not won. It's as simple as that.
"This isn't fun - it's a game and I'm going in with a game plan. A lot of people in the house are playing roles and the British public will see that. But I'll be honest. I won't pull punches and I'll take it to a few people."

Danny Dyer has written a book about pubs and ghosts.
The 'EastEnders' actor - who plays Queen Vic landlord Mick Carter in the BBC One soap - has loved writing 'The World According to Danny Dyer: Life Lessons From The East End' and described it as a "sort".
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I've bloody loved writing this book, it's going to be a right sort. It's going to be my thoughts on a lot of things from pubs, to if ghosts exist.
"You could say it's a bit like one of my finest, longest and off the wall tweets."
The 38-year-old star - who is known for playing hardmen in films including 'The Football Factory' and 'Adulthood' - often writes funny posts on Twitter and his book is likely to provide similar anecdotes.
A source told the newspaper: "Danny loves writing and words, he's really interested in all sorts of things, from UFOs to pubs to his own philosophies about life.
"This book is going to cover everything. It's something he's been wanting to do for a while now."
'The World According to Danny Dyer: Life Lessons From The East End' is being published by Quercus and is scheduled for release on October 22.
The tome's description on Amazon reads: "This book is a window into the world of Danny Dyer - and he's seen more of the world than most so he's got one or two things to say about it.
"Tackling such vital questions as, 'Where have all the old boozers gone?' 'Are there such things as ghosts?' And, 'Am I middle class?' "

Writing on Twitter after it was revealed she would be taking part, the 'Sky Sports News' anchor said: "So pleased can finally talk about #strictly. So excited 😁 but all the [dancing] has left my feet v sore! #strictly (sic)"

Jamie Oliver wants sugar-free advert breaks during 'Britain's Got Talent'.
The TV chef said in his new Channel 4 documentary 'Sugar Rush' that the ITV talent show needs to act fast because of the bombardment of fizzy drinks, sweets and ice creams adverts it allows during it's airtime.
He said: "It's a family show and we've had Coke, Haribo and Magnum adverts. I think that's inappropriate."
He added: "Shows like this often attract over one million child viewers who can be exposed to up to 11 unhealthy food adverts in one hour. It doesn't qualify as a children's programme so advertisers don't face the Ofcom ban preventing them from advertising foods high in fat, salt and sugar."
And the 40-year-old TV star - who has four children with his wife, Jules - even thinks the 'Great British Bake Off' has a part to play in fixing the problem.
He said: "There's a narrative about the Bake Off, but that's not a priority in my opinion."
Meanwhile, Jamie wants to fund raise to help the cause.
He said: "I'm imposing a tax on sugary drinks in my UK restaurants. I reckon I can raise around £80,000 a year to spend on children's food education.
"Just imagine what we could achieve if we had a tax on a national scale."

Louis Walsh is the "happiest he's ever been" since leaving 'The X Factor'.
Cheryl Fernandez-Versini praised her former colleague - who was axed from the ITV talent show earlier this year - for being a "good sport" throughout the promotion of the forthcoming series.
Speaking at the launch of 'The X Factor' at London's Picturehouse Central cinema, she said: "He's been a really good sport. He came down for our promo and I think he is happier not being on the show. "
BBC Radio 1 DJ Nick Grimshaw - who has replaced Louis on the judging panel - revealed his predecessor had even warned him and fellow new judge Rita Ora about what they'd signed up for.
Nick said: "He came in when me and Rita did a shoot and he looked the happiest he has ever been. And he said, 'You two don't know what you've got yourselves into. He was really happy, but he did want there to be a fifth judge."
Meanwhile, music mogul and show boss Simon Cowell joked that Louis will be able to watch this year's show from the comfort of his own bed.
He added: "The good thing for Louis is that he can watch the show in bed in his PJs and he call me after the show. We've got him a couple of seats for the live shows ... Restricted view."
'The X Factor' kicks off tomorrow (29.08.15) at 8pm on ITV.

Simon Cowell is not worried about 'The X Factor' going up against 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
The TV judge insisted he isn't anxious about competing with the popular prime time BBC One competition in the ratings after hearing the line-up, which includes Peter Andre and Jeremy Vine.
Asked if he was worried about going head-to-head with the show at the launch of 'The X Factor' at London's Picturehouse Central cinema, he said: "I hate to say yes because I know what will happen if I say yes, it will come back and haunt me ... I think the show, just watching it back, it does feel better. The talent's great, they're interesting ... So if it's us versus Peter Andre, I've got to put my money on us."
Meanwhile, ITV's director of programmes Peter Fincham has criticised the BBC for scheduling 'Strictly' to overlap with 'The X Factor' in the past as it forces viewers to choose between the popular programmes.
Speaking at the Edinburgh Television Festival, he said: "They [The BBC] moved 'Strictly' 20 minutes later. I don't know why they did that, no reason for doing that but that feels to me like an avoidable clash. It feels to me a bit like 'let's clip the 'X Factor's wings'.
"What we're going to do is literally publish the 'X Factor' start times [for] this autumn ... because all the evidence we have is that our audiences don't want the two to overlap."
