This is not just a pay cut. This is an M&S pay cut. Myleene Klass has hung on to her modelling contract with Marks & Spencer - but only by accepting a reduction in her wages from £1million to £750,000.It comes just four months after the retailer made 1,230 staff redundant as it battles the effects of the credit crunch.Twiggy has also kept her job appearing in the company's commercials, and will soon feature in adverts celebrating Marks & Spencer's 125th anniversary.
