Where is Graham Quinn now? Myleene Klass and ex's bitter war of words as he accuses her of 'bullying and abuse' while she claims he cheated on her with a celebrity
Graham Quinn has found himself back in the public eye after Myleene Klass accused him of cheating on her with another celebrity - at her own birthday party. The bodyguard, 47, started dating Myleene in 2001, having met when he worked as security guard for her pop group Hear'Say. The couple went on to welcome daughters Ava, 17, and Hero, 14, and tied the knot in 2011 after a decade together - only to separate six months later. In the years that followed, Graham - who is the brother of Keith Duffy 's wife Lisa -retreated from the limelight as he attempted to rebuild his life in Ibiza. However, this week, he hit headlines once again when Myleene claimed she walked in on him taking the clothes off an unnamed star who has built a brand on her 'family values'. And if history repeats itself, Graham will have plenty to say about Myleene, having previously accused her of 'bullying and abuse' while lashing out at her continuing to mention his name in the press. Graham has kept a low profile in recent years, seemingly deleting his Instagram profile and is no longer active on X/ Twitter. His X account was last active in 2020 and his bio simply reads: 'Living in Ibiza'. However, his last X post was a lengthy message directed at Myleene, in which he accused her of 'bullying' and 'abuse' in a sensational online statement. The rant was sparked by a 2007 interview Myleene gave to the Daily Mail, in which she discussed his past drug offences. In the chat, Myleene mused: 'Before we even considered having a relationship, he was very upfront with me about what he had done. 'He was young and he got caught up in the wrong crowd. I was shocked but I also respected his honesty. He was haunted by it every day of his life and he still talks about it now.' After the interview resurfaced in 2020, Graham broke his silence on their split to attack the musician, branding her 'nasty' and 'vindictive' and accusing her of playing 'childish games. Having previously maintained an eight-year public silence on their relationship, he posted the essay on his public profile berating his ex-wife and denying longstanding allegations that he left her cash-strapped to enjoy a bachelor lifestyle. He wrote: 'So after eight years now of being separated... I've reached the end of my limit of abuse and bullying by Myleene Klass. 'For eight years you have spoken out quote after quote in all your interviews, making money from it and promoting your products and career etc. He added that the breakdown of the couple's relationship 'should have never been in the public eye'. Graham added he was perplexed as to why she continued to berate him despite the fact she was in a new, happy, relationship with Simon Motson. He wrote: '[It] must be very sad for your new partner — that the focus is still on the past? 'Everyone that knows me, knows that I'm an extremely private and loyal person. 'So please spare me the poor little victim stories.... to paint me as this horrible person - As for money or cars or houses, I've never taken a penny of your money or anything for that matter. I gave you the easiest divorce.' Addressing his drug offences, Graham added he was 'extremely proud' to have turned his life around and had 'worked hard to put it right', mentioning he had worked with a drugs charity to raise awareness about the dangers of using them. He also noted that he loved his children 'unconditionally' and advised her to 'put them first'. 'You might have stopped me seeing them all this time but the years are going fast and they will be old enough soon to come and find me and see just how much I adore them and always have,' he wrote. 'I still won't allow myself to ever stoop that low to ever say anything bad about you as I'm not that type of person and my focus will never change, it's always been about Ava and Hero who I absolutely adore and love unconditionally. 'You can't ever break that. So please put them first, stop your childish games and wasting your time being nasty and vindictive all these years later and enjoy being a new mum and focus on your new partner, not an ex of over eight years.' After his divorce from Myleene in April 2013, Graham moved on with dancer Sarah Robinson. The pair were linked shortly after Graham's marriage ended but Sarah insisted they were just friends at the time. They celebrated their engagement at a festive party over Christmas 2015 after Graham popped the question while they were on holiday in Ibiza. Their engagement party was attended by a number of Graham's celebrity pals including his Boyzone star brother-in-law Keith. Graham previously worked as a tour manager for JLS while Sarah's dancing career often required travel, meaning the couple were frequently apart. He posted on Instagram in May 2017 about his heartache of having to be apart, writing: 'Gonna miss my girl. Been spoilt having 10 days together on holiday... now off on tour again for 3 months, never easy saying goodbye'. However this relationship appeared to have soured a few months later as by October 2017, Sarah had wiped all trace of Graham from her Instagram account. Earlier this week, Myleene reflected on her relationship with Graham as she recalled walking in on him and a female celebrity taking each other's clothes off on the balcony of her own home. Refusing to name the woman, the Loose Women panelist hinted that the person in question has built a career off a 'family brand' and clarified that it was before they had got married. Speaking on Paul Brunson's We Need To Talk podcast, the mother-of-two said: 'I walked in on him with a famous person on my birthday on a balcony.' According to the TV presenter, the pair tried to claim that it wasn't what it looked like and she continued: 'I'm in my house, it's my party. They weren't having sex, but they were unzipping each other. 'It's not what you think'. But I'm like, 'It is what I think'. 'It's the first thing they both said. I kicked everyone out of the party, including his mum and dad. They went back to Ireland and his dad said: 'He doesn't get it from me'. 'I remember thinking that was quite a weird thing to say,' she told the love expert. Graham tried to blame the affair on being drunk. Myleene admitted the whole ordeal was a 'pretty big red flag' but still went through with their wedding in October 2011. Turning her thoughts towards the other woman, Myleene said: 'I've made peace with that situation now, but for a long time, it was very difficult to see their life. 'My life literally just broke apart very, very publicly and their life, they've managed to continue building a family brand on it. I have to take some accountability 'Look, you know, first and foremost to my children. My children have asked enough questions and it's never been a case of laying out my stall now. 'It's got to be as and when. But here's the funny thing - school mums, people who just want to gossip, will go to your children before anybody else.' Myleene previously recalled the twisted request the woman Graham cheated on her with asked her. Myleene said on Loose Women: '100 percent, I've been on the receiving of someone who cheated on me. I was extremely disturbed as was my family as was the ripple effect of people who have to live with those actions. 'Put it this way, one of the people that he cheated on me with asked to have a photo with me and I refused. 'One of the people that he had an affair with or a relationship with just said 'Can I have a photo with you?' 'I said 'No. I do not agree with what you stand for'. If I then put myself, If I align myself or have allegiance to you as a person, that photo is out there forever. 'I don't agree with women or men having their lives turned upside down with lies and deceit because you didn't think it was that big of a crime. 'You're messing with peoples emotions and their lives. They have permanent repercussions.' Myleene went on to meet current partner Simon in 2015, with the couple welcoming their son Apollo four years later.

US manhunt for 'dangerous' murder suspect who dropped off baby after four relatives found dead
A car has been found during the search for a man suspected of killing the parents, grandmother and uncle of a baby girl found abandoned in a US state. Austin Robert Drummond, 28, is suspected of having murdered four relatives in Tennessee - James M Wilson, 21, Adrianna Williams, 20, Cortney Rose, 38, and Braydon Williams, 15, who were identified on Wednesday. Mr Wilson and Adrianna Williams were the parents of the infant found alive in a car seat in a front yard on Tuesday afternoon. Police say Drummond then dropped off the baby and made people aware of the child, in an act of "compassion". However, officers added Drummond remains on the run and should be considered "armed and dangerous". Ms Rose was Adrianna and Braydon Williams' mother, according to District Attorney Danny Goodman. No details have been given on how they were murdered. Drummond dropped off the seven-month-old infant and brought attention to people nearby to come get the child, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Director David Rausch said during a news conference. The baby is safe and being cared for, according to Stephen Sutton, a spokesperson for the Lake and Dyer county sheriffs. "While this was an extremely tragic and violent event... there was a sign of compassion, if you will," Mr Rausch said. "That tells us that there's a possibility that Austin may have a sense that there is hope for him to be able to come in and have a conversation about what happened." Mr Rausch said he believes it was a targeted attack by Drummond, who had a relationship with the victims and their family. A relative of the victims posted on Facebook after the deaths, saying the suspect has "literally been nothing short of amazing to us and our kids", according to our US partner network NBC News. "We all trusted him," the relative added. The unoccupied car that police said Drummond had been driving was found on Friday in Jackson, Tennessee, about 70 miles from where the bodies were found and some 40 miles from where the baby was left in a car seat in a front yard. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has said it obtained warrants for Drummond. He is wanted on four counts of first-degree murder, one count of aggravated kidnapping, and weapons offences. Authorities offered a $15,000 reward for information leading to his arrest. Drummond was convicted of one count of aggravated robbery in August 2014, according to public records. His sentence ended in September 2024, according to Tennessee Department of Correction records. He was charged criminally for activities inside the prison, including attempted murder, after he completed the sentence that put him behind bars, District Attorney Mr Goodman said. Drummond was out on bond on the other charges at the time of the killings, he added.

Time spent on porn websites down by a third after age crackdown
Pornography websites have seen a sharp drop in the time British users spend on them after online safety laws forced the sites to introduce age checks. The average time UK visitors spent on the most popular four adult websites has fallen by a third since age verification laws came into effect, according to analytics company Semrush. The figures suggest that large numbers of users are visiting the sites, only to leave when presented with the new checks. Adult websites must ensure that users are over 18 with checks such as ID verification, bank accounts or facial analysis. The crackdown has led to a surge in downloads of VPN software used to mask that website visitors are from the UK. The average visit on Pornhub, Britain's most popular porn website, was 11 minutes and 18 seconds on July 20, but had fallen to seven minutes and 39 seconds by July 29 – five days after age checks came into force. Across the four most popular sites – Pornhub, xHamster, XVideos and XNXX – the average visit had fallen from 12 minutes and six seconds to seven minutes and 40 seconds. The data only accounts for the first few days of the online safety checks. Semrush data showed a much smaller drop-off in total visits, indicating that people were continuing to visit the sites but potentially turning away after facing age checks. The figures do not account for the number of Britons using VPNs to bypass the restrictions. The services have surged to the top of app download stores in the last week. Nor do they account for the large number of porn sites that have not introduced age checks. Ofcom said this week it was investigating 34 websites that had not introduced age checks. 'Privacy risk' Previous age verification laws have led to huge drops in traffic. After Louisiana introduced age verification in 2023, Pornhub said its traffic had dropped by 80pc, although the state's law was more restrictive than the UK's, not allowing methods such as facial age estimation. Websites face fines of £18m or 10pc of their global turnover for failing to introduce effective age verification. Opponents of age verification have claimed that handing over details to an adult website constitutes a privacy risk. On Friday, the Government defended the laws. Peter Kyle, the Technology Secretary, said: 'This marks the most significant step forward in child safety since the internet was created. 'The reality is that most children aren't actively seeking out harmful, dangerous, or pornographic content – unfortunately it finds them. That's why we've taken decisive action. 'Age verification keeps children safe. Rather than looking for ways around it, let's help make the internet a safer, more positive space for children - and a better experience for everyone. That's something we should all aspire to.'
