Myleene Klass has opened up on feeling "conflicted" that a celebrity she caught her ex-husband cheating with at her birthday party is known for "building a family brand".
The TV presenter and singer spoke to Paul C. Brunson's We Need To Talk podcast about her divorce from Graham Quinn and the devastating cheating that led to their split. Although she didn't name the famous person who she caught Quinn with at her party, Klass revealed that their image was built around strong family values which she said had been "difficult" to accept as her own family fell apart.
Klass also spoke about the behind-the-scenes secrets she is not allowed to share from her days in Hear'Say, and claimed she had been targeted by disgraced film producer Harvey Weinstein in a terrifying meeting.
What, how and why?
Loose Women star and former Hear'Say singer Klass was in a relationship with ex Quinn for 12 years, but they split just six months after marrying. Asked by Brunson how she would describe her relationship with the father of her eldest two children, she said: "I will use his words, how he would describe it, because it's fascinating to me. I was told I emasculated him."
Klass, who cemented her fame after her Popstars days by finishing as runner-up on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! in 2006, confessed that she had considered cancelling her wedding the night before as she felt the relationship wasn't right. She claimed Quinn had not allowed her to invite her best friend as he wanted to keep the day small, and said she had cried all the way through her wedding day.
The TV star shared she had had suspicions that Quinn was cheating for a while, but opened up on the devastating moment she discovered him with a famous person at her own birthday party in her house. She said: "They weren't having sex, but they were unzipping each other."
Klass said that she found the resulting split especially difficult because she was left as a single parent, whilst the woman she caught Quinn with was known for her "family brand".
"I walked in on him with a famous person on my birthday on a balcony," 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 feel conflicted.
"My life quite literally just broke apart very, very publicly. And their life, they've managed to continue building a family brand on it. It was very difficult."
Klass has not named the famous person and they did not get into a relationship with Quinn afterwards.

She also told Brunson that she became aware Quinn had been planning to split from her for a while before they actually broke up, describing finding out that he had bought a secret house to live in and being told by a popstar that he had hidden money in her safe.
Klass said of the divorce: "I was just catching up all of the time and every time new information came my way, I just couldn't believe it. One popstar rang me up and she was like, 'I think I've got your money, it's in my safe'."
"On the day he decided it was over, he just pushed this little Post-it note across the table with the figure he wanted," she added.
Klass said that she had brought up her older two children as a lone parent for 12 years after Quinn left. She now has a third child with partner Simon Motson, and also told Brunson about her recent meeting with the King to talk about her campaigning work around miscarriage which she recently received an MBE for.
What Myleene Klass said about Hear'Say secrets
Klass first found fame on reality show Popstars, where she and her fellow winners formed the group Hear'Say. They were only together for around 18 months, but Klass described their baptism of fire in the music industry and their shock at stories about their personal lives being leaked to the press.
She said that the only time she and her bandmates Kym Marsh, Suzanne Shaw, Danny Foster and Noel Sullivan felt safe was when they were talking to each other in person so that they knew they weren't being listened to. "We could only trust each other," she said, claiming of their treatment by the music industry: "We were not protected, we were almost bait."
Having previously spoken about diaries she has from the early days of her pop fame, Klass claimed she had been told they were too libellous to publish because of anecdotes about the behaviour of others in the music industry at the time.
"People are very interested in the diaries," she said. "I think there must be some people who are very scared as well. Rightly so."
On keeping in touch with her bandmates, she said: "We do go through peaks and troughs and flurries. Some more than others, for sure. It's like an office job from 25 years ago, which is sad really, because we went through so much. When big things happen, we all check in on each other."
Klass also claimed that she had been propositioned by disgraced film producer Harvey Weinstein with a "sex contract" during her days working at CNN. She said she had met Weinstein at a party and attended a meeting with him that she believed was about a documentary she wanted to make, but alleged that he told her he would make her a film star if she had sex with him.
Speaking about how terrifying the situation had been, Klass said she had managed to get away from the meeting. She reflected on the many women who had since come forward with similar claims about Weinstein, saying: "I believe every woman who came forward because I sat there. I was utterly devastated because I didn't know if I was going to get out."
