Myleene Klass opens up on ex‑husband heroin offences and birthday betrayal
Pop star turned TV presenter Myleene Klass has opened up about the heartbreaking moment she discovered her now ex-husband "cheated" on her with a famous celebrity at her own birthday party.
Myleene, 47, shed light on the moment during a podcast episode with Married At First Sight's Paul C Brunson. She revealed on his show, We Need To Talk: "I walked in on him with a famous person on my birthday on a balcony."
The mother-of-three claimed the pair tried to brush off their actions, but she insists "they were unzipping each other". She continued: "I kicked everybody 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 just remember that as being quite a weird thing to say." READ MORE: Myleene Klass' ex-husband's bitter words after divorce turned sour following 'cheating'
Myleene Klass said her world fell apart when she caught her ex-husband 'cheating'
Detailing exactly what happened after she spotted the pair "unzipping" each other, Myleene, who shares Ava, 17, and Hero, 13 with her now-ex, admitted life completely fell apart.

Graham and Myleene met when he worked as a security guard for Hear'Say, Myleene's pop group from the early 2000s.
The pair began dating in the mid‑2000s, welcoming their first daughter, Ava, in 2007 and their second, Hero, in 2011. They married in 2011, but their marriage ended just six months later, with divorce finalised in 2013.
Myleene has previously discussed her ex-husband's legal troubles. At one point, he was reportedly arrested in connection with heroin possession and distribution charges.
Speaking to The Standard in 2012, Myleene revealed Graham had been arrested when he was 17 years old for heroin possession in his native Dublin and had jumped bail.
She said at the time: "Before we even considered having a relationship, he was very up-front with me about what he had done. He was young and he got caught up in a bad crowd. I was shocked, but I also respected his honesty and the fact that he didn't make any excuses for his behaviour. Who was I to judge?"
He was fined and given a suspended prison sentence and has since become a patron of the Drugsline charity and talks to children in schools about the dangers of drugs.

In the podcast, Myleene explained: "They weren't having sex but they were unzipping each other."
Addressing how she felt about her ex-husband's unnamed lover in the aftermath, she said: "I've made peace with that situation now, but for a long time, it was very difficult to see their life.
"Not that I would wish that on a family... I don't know I'm conflicted. My life literally just broke apart very, very publicly and their life, they've managed to continue building a family brand on it. It felt so difficult for a long time."
According to Myleene, the marriage collapsed within six months. Quinn's hidden real estate purchase and refusal to sign a prenup made her feel betrayed.
As she described it: "So we'd had the biggest row... I'd asked him why he wouldn't sign the prenup. On the night of our wedding I asked again... He'd actually got a house, a secret house that he'd bought already".
The relationship - and subsequent divorce - was emotionally and financially draining. Myleene said, "All I will say to you is I've raised my children single‑handedly, financially, as a sole parent for 12 years".
On the podcast, Myleene added: "My life literally just broke apart very, very publicly... And their life, they've managed to continue building a family brand on it and it felt so difficult for a long time".
Looking back on their wedding she said it was the "most miserable" time, and that she cried "the entire reception". READ MORE: Tesco's cosy Dryrobe alternative with snug fleece lining is back–but won't be for long

Donald Trump is more like a capricious medieval king than a modern politician, a former UK ambassador to the US has said. Kim Darroch said the President had turned the Oval Office in the White House 'into a reality TV set'. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad He made the comments during an appearance on Iain Dale's All Talk show at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. US President Donald Trump | Getty Images Lord Darroch was the UK's ambassador to the US during Mr Trump's first term, but quit in 2019 following a huge row over leaked cables in which he described the President's administration as "clumsy and inept'. Mr Trump later called him a "stupid guy" and a "pompous fool". Lord Darroch told the event the President now had a 'slightly scary sense of destiny' after surviving an assassination attempt last year. He said Mr Trump 'was made by reality TV', adding: 'He was the American version of Alan Sugar, Sir Alan, on The Apprentice.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad He continued: 'He learnt a lot about how to present himself from reality TV, and I think he has now literally turned the Oval Office into a reality TV set.' Lord Darroch pointed to the Oval Office showdown with Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy in February. 'I did notice at the end of it, [Mr Trump] said, 'This is going to make great TV'. So that's become a reality TV show, a daily show for his followers.' Later, the former ambassador told the event: 'He's more like a sort of medieval king in his capricious decision-making, than he is like a modern politician.'

'So far, against a lot of predictions, Keir Starmer has proved himself really quite an adept Trump whisperer,' he said. 'He's done some clever things.' Referring to the row over his leaked cables, Lord Darroch, who also served as a national security adviser and UK permanent representative to the European Union, said it was better to 'crash and burn' over briefings that turned out to be accurate.
