Beaming Myleene Klass defiantly steps out after being branded a 'vindictive bully' by ex Graham Quinn's pals after her shock claims he 'cheated with a celebrity'
The radio presenter, 47, hit the headlines after accusing her former husband of cheating on her with another celebrity, who she has refused to name, shortly before their 2011 wedding.
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.
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.
She kept comfortable in a pair of black padded sandals and carried a coordinated handbag Chanel handbag.
Leaving her long locks loose, she accessorised with a pair of sunglasses and a simple gold necklace.
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 acheivements, 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.'
The former One Show presenter left fans reeling when she dropped the explosive claim her that ex-husband cheated on her with a female celebrity in a very honest chat with Paul C Brunson.
Myleene 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.
She wrote on Instagram: ''You should do it, it would be good for you, but be honest, everyone knows when people aren't honest'.
'My manager before 'We need to talk podcast'.
'Errrrr s*** Leens, I didn't think you were going to be THAT honest'. My manager AFTER 'We need to talk podcast'.
'I flew back from abroad to do this podcast. I'd heard a lot about @paulcbrunson and had seen the @needtotalk headlines. As I've gotten older, more comfortable with being vulnerable, I'm drawn to things that stretch and challenge me.
'I wasn't prepared for how disarming Paul is and how he looks into your soul and pulls out the very core of what makes you tick.
'I didn't think he'd be able to do it. From the outside, what do we have in common? Maybe that was the challenge, to see what he had on me. Turns out, a lot.
The former One Show presenter left fans reeling when she dropped the explosive claim that ex-husband cheated on her with a female celebrity in a very honest chat with Paul C Brunson
'We ran into the night, five hours of recording, (subsequently multiple lawyers on both sides listened back and reached for their fire blankets) and we actually REALLY got on.
'The two of us in a room brought out raucous laughter, the kind where you throw your head back and ugly cackle, abject sorrow, shock and everything else in between.
'My life has been played out in public for 26 years. I've lost relationships, been turned over (by men, not all men, but always men) and had to rebuild on more than one occasion.
'I've also won. I won my jungle crown, my MBE, my family, my place and my peace.
'I don't care if people like me anymore, I'm not the terrified 20 year old girl from Hear'say being pelted with chow mein on stage for trying to sing a few songs.
'I'm no longer the girl who watched her life go up in smoke, fighting for everything I'd built from people who'd meticulously planned how to take it.
'I've been torn down by those who were meant to love me, I think I'll be ok. In fact, I know I will. A mixed race girl, a neek from Norfolk, no one expected much (my school report proves this).
'I learned to hustle, stand up for myself and leave the betrayals behind. Who knew being a Mum would be the making of me, as failing meant my children failing (including the ones I never got to hold) and that was never going to happen.'
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.
The mother-of-two explained: '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 incident on being drunk and she 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.'

Fringe benefits from Miriam Margolyes for the Cambridge Footlights
Your Edinburgh festival article ('It's a brigade of old gits!' Miriam Margolyes, Andy Linden and the older performers storming Edinburgh, 12 August) mentions Miriam Margolyes' appearance in the 1963 Cambridge Footlights revue. I stage-managed that show and have many happy memories of it. The custom was that only one girl student would be included in the cast, something Miriam fiercely disapproved of. Still etched in my memory is her line as she sashayed down to front centre stage: 'Here I come, one rose in a bunch of pansies!'

Sky Sports' ‘Supersized' Sunday means viewers can watch five games at once
'It will end the flick,' says Gary Hughes, Sky Sports director of football, of an innovation this Premier League season that signals the end of that most irritating of habits: channel hopping. How? By dedicating a single platform to simultaneously broadcasting as many as five matches on a single screen, with a dedicated commentator, director and producer helping guide the viewer to the main action. It will initially be rolled out at 2pm as part of Sky's 'Supersized' Sunday, when its new broadcast deal will mean increasing the offering on that day from 36 to 63 matches a season. Most intriguing of all is that it could, in time, potentially involve different sports. Sky will screen at least 215 of the 380 Premier League matches this term, compared to 128 in the previous rights cycle. The broadcaster also has around 50 extra midweek games. Should the 3pm Saturday blackout end – and Sky Sports managing director Jonathan Licht describes this as a conversation 'that is coming' before the next broadcast deal from 2029 – it could one day also be used on a Saturday afternoon. Think Soccer Saturday while also having the footage of multiple games being screened in your home. For now, though, the focus will be on Sunday 2pm and Sky's newly acquired midweek slots, with single matches remaining in the usual Friday night, Saturday night, Sunday 4.30pm and Monday-night slots. Sunday early afternoon is different because it is the time that clubs with midweek European fixtures will generally play. Like Soccer Saturday, Hughes admits there could be 'a bit of chaos' as Sky's director and commentator try to keep up with matches that will also be individually screened for those viewers who prefer a single focus. 'We won't linger on a game for a long period if nothing's happening, we'll bounce around,' said Hughes. 'What we've always tried to do is innovate, but also offer customers choice. So, if you want to watch game one, but you're slightly interested in another game, you've got an option. Some midweeks, we might have five simultaneous games. It'll end the [channel] flick.' Asked if it could be expanded, Hughes said: 'Certainly. In the summer months you might have a Test match going on, you might have a grand prix going on, good tennis, a brilliant football match going on. We're constantly looking at ways how we can innovate and evolve.' As well as multiview, Sky Sports is launching a new Friday night preview show this season that will be hosted by Roman Kemp, as well as the return of Goals on Sunday and Sunday Supplement on Sunday morning. Licht also sounded a warning over piracy, and the prevalence of illegal firesticks, highlighting the links to organised crime and how their normalisation stands as a risk to English football. 'It's everyone's responsibility – we certainly look at big tech to take that on and we look at government to help,' he said. 'It is a serious issue. It's value destructive.' He also highlighted how a dramatic fall in the value of the broadcast rights in French football had been largely attributed to piracy. Mimicking NFL-style innovation is a major challenge For as long as sports broadcasting has existed in the UK we have looked to America for inspiration, so it should not surprise you that Sky Sports' multiview has its roots across the pond. If it can provide something close to the NFL's Redzone it will be a huge success. The only issue is football's stubborn unpredictability. American football is perfectly suited to the rapidly-changing coverage of Redzone, which whips around up to eight simultaneous games on Sundays, always prioritising the match deemed most likely to deliver excitement. This is easier to decide in a sport in which a team that reaches 20 yards from the goal line – the titular red zone – will either score, make a mess of an opportunity or turn the ball over. Attempts to ape this previously with football have been fun but inessential. James Richardson helmed BT Sports' Champions League goals show with typical charm and TNT resurrected the format with Matt Smith for the final Champions League group stage games last season. The trouble with football in this format is that goals can come with little warning, so the viewer can feel like they are watching a more irritating Soccer Saturday. Every great moment is potentially viewable as it happens, inevitably many are missed. TNT's version cut away from an Aston Villa game just before they scored to show Paris St-Germain players standing around waiting for some fog to clear. You long for the badinage of Paul Merson and Charlie Nicholas when you have watched one too many attacking passages break down in Borussia Dortmund versus Olympiacos. Sky will attempt to amend this by having several matches on screen at the same time, an overdue response to the average width of a UK television now exceeding that of a 1959 Morris Mini-Minor. Redzone does this too, occasionally leading to thrilled chat from host Scott Hanson of a 'quadbox': four live games on screen at once taking a quarter of the screen each. From the mock-ups Sky has published it appears there will be one game taking up a large portion with lesser events sharing smaller slots. Clearly there will be moments when the most compelling action is only viewable at squint-required resolution. The other issue is who to put in charge. As we have seen from ghost ship Soccer Saturday since Jeff Stelling's departure, the casting of an anchor is crucial for such an unusual sports show, one in which you hear far more from the presenter than a conventional live broadcast. Simon Thomas, Stelling's replacement, is an accomplished host but it is impossible to replace someone so revered from a programme they became synonymous with. NFL Network, or its new owners ESPN, will face a similar challenge when Redzone 's Hanson reaches his final down. He has been like Stelling on Red Bull since the show began in 2009, able to keep a choppy and chaotic broadcast compelling. It is a seven-hour stint for him every Sunday during the NFL regular season, during which he allegedly does not take a comfort break. Good luck to Sky finding an equally strong-bladdered parent for its new baby.
