Rochelle Humes 'gave Myleene Klass' ex-husband Graham Quinn a place to stay' following their split after she caught him 'cheating' with a celebrity
Rochelle Humes gave Mylenne Klass' 'cheating' ex-husband a place to stay following their bitter breakup, it has been claimed. Radio presenter Myleene, 47, hit the headlines after accusing her former husband Graham Quinn of cheating on her with another celebrity, who she has refused to name, shortly before their 2011 wedding. Now it's been claimed Saturdays singer Rochelle, 36, lent a helping hand to Graham following the breakdown of his marriage to Mylenne. The Sun reports the former Hear'Say singer believed Rochelle and her husband Marvin, 40, had 'taken his side' in the split as a result. A source told the publication: 'Rochelle was doing what she saw as looking out for a friend in a time of need. 'Rochelle and Marvin are still clearly very much friends with Graham. 'Myleene is of the view that Rochelle took sides from the beginning of her marriage breakdown.' The insider added that Rochelle and Mylenne 'do everything in their power' to avoid each other amid their rift. Daily Mail has contacted reps for Rochelle and Mylenne for comment. Rochelle's spokesperson declined to respond. Graham was a tour manager for JLS and was recently snapped in Ibiza with Rochelle and Marvin. Myleene first started going out with her Irish bodyguard in 2001 and they were together for 12 years until they announced their split in 2013. She said she walked in on the moment ex Graham and the woman were taking each other's clothes off on the balcony of her home. Refusing to name the woman, Myleene hinted that the person in question has built a career off a 'family brand' and clarified that it was before they had got married. As mystery continues to swirl around the celebrity in question, Myleene declared she doesn't regret her honesty in the interview. Graham's inner circle hit back at the shock claims and told Daily Mail's Grant Tucker that the former Hear'Say bodyguard, who shares daughters Ava, 17, and Hero, 13, with Myleene was 'not going to dignify these fantasies with a response'. They also believe it was 'vindictive and calculated' of the singer to launch the bombshell on what she would have known was the week of Graham's 51st birthday. Despite the drama, Myleene flashed her gorgeous smile as she made her way through Leicester Square, London on Sunday. The TV personality put on a leggy display in a beige dress which she tied a black scarf around her waist and a Moschino belt. Meanwhile, Mylenne is also said to have fallen out with Frankie Bridge. Mylenne, Rochelle and Frankie all used to hang out together, with Loose Women hosts Myleene and Frankie attending Rochelle's hen do in 2012. Yet the following year, Myleene is said to have believed she was being 'blanked' by Frankie and confronted her at the 2013 Glamour Women of the Year awards - which is when the pair requested not to work together. However, due to a staff shortage around Christmas last year, Myleene and Frankie ended up on the same Loose Women panel - resulting in an 'awkward' episode with 'minimal interaction'. This week Myleene hinted at more revelations as she issued cryptic warning to those that 'have reason to' be afraid, after she made her explosive claims about her ex. After opening up about the scandal in an interview for Paul Brunson's We Need To Talk podcast, Myleene took to Instagram Stories to state she has 'receipts,' and 'won't keep her mouth shut.' The post also included a snap of her MBE, after receiving the honour for her services to women's health, miscarriage awareness and charity last month. While Myleene used the post to reflect on her recent achievements, she also declared she's 'finally found her voice' after opening up about her cheating ordeal. She wrote: 'Wow. What a week it's been! Firstly, thank you. I have quite literally tens of thousands of messages of love and support for me and my family. I took a long time to learn there's strength in vulnerability. 'In a varied week where my interview with @paulcbrunson and @needtotalk went viral and reached the people who needed to hear it, where I was part of the incredible @stjohn_ambulance team who helped to save a persons life and where my children and I somehow managed to rescue our passports from the bottom of the Adriatic, it's been a mixed bag! 'All this to say, at 47, I've finally found my voice and it's clear, unapologetic and brutally honest. 'To those that fear its truth, you probably have reason to, I have receipts, to those that need to hear it, I've got you and I fully intend to continue using it to change the laws and legislation that neglect women and children in this country and around the world.' Myleene then ended her post with a Bible quote, that said: 'And the truth will set you free' John 8.32,' before adding her own words: 'And then some.'

Molly-Mae Hague looks incredible as she strips to black bikini on family holiday in Turkey
MOLLY-MAE Hague looked incredible as she stripped to a black bikini during her family getaway to Turkey. The influencer, 26, showed off her figure in the strappy two-piece. 6 6 6 6 Molly shared a series of snaps from her luxury holiday with her two-year-old daughter Bambi and boyfriend Tommy Fury, 26. The doting mum was seen holding Bambi in her arms as she posed in the swimwear with black and white sliders. She then sported a pair of grey striped trousers and a matching shirt over her black bikini top. Molly looked chic as ever with a oversized sunglasses and a white tote bag over her shoulder. While her mini me daughter looked adorable in colourful shorts and a floral vest. Molly shared photos of her stay at luxury resort Regnum The Crown. The former Love Island star looked in her element as she enjoyed a dip in a secluded cave-like pool. She was seen leaning forward and looking away from the camera. Molly captioned the post: "A summer story." The holiday dump wouldn't be complete without a family photo with herself, Tommy and Bambi. The trio looked happy as they posed for a photo in the hotel lobby. Molly and Tommy could be seen starring affectionately at their little girl. Last week Molly revealed the real reason Tommy doesn't feature in her YouTube vlogs any more. Fans had claimed that Molly's sister Zoe, 28, is more of a father figure due to her regular appearance in the videos. Molly-Mae explained: "I've seen so many comments saying 'Zoe is more the dad' I only vlog when I am not with Tommy, I am with Tommy literally 80% of the week and he is with Bambi majority of the week. "But I vlog when we are here and he is at his because it's just something that I am not ready to like open up with yet and like flinging the camera around like when we're a family. "I just think like we're not there yet and still figuring out life and living situations. I'm not ready to vlog like we used to." The couple, who met while appearing on Love Island in 2019, only recently confirmed their reunion after splitting last August. Their relationship story featured in Molly's recent Amazon documentary where she talked about their New Year's Eve kiss, which began feverish speculation that they were back together. They are now working hard to put past cheating allegations and Tommy's alcohol-fuelled partying problems behind them. A source previously told us: 'It sounds extreme, but Molly feels much more reassured when Tommy checks in. "It all helps with trust, honesty and transparency between the two of them. 'Tommy dutifully phones Molly the minute that he arrives anywhere. 'And then she likes him to also show her where he is. 'This has been going on for months now, and Tommy's friends are impressed that he has agreed to it whole-heartedly.' 6 6
