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
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Graham has kept a low profile in recent years, seemingly deleting his Instagram profile and is no longer active on X/ Twitter.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.

Margot Robbie and Jay Hernandez reunite to celebrate Suicide Squad co-star Cara Delevingne's birthday
Margot Robbie and Jay Hernandez reunited in Los Angeles on Monday night as they stepped out to celebrate the birthday of their Suicide Squad co-star Cara Delevingne. The A-list duo was spotted arriving at Chateau Marmont, one of Hollywood's most exclusive venues, for an advance celebration ahead of Cara's 33rd birthday on August 12. Margot, 35, looked effortlessly chic in a stylish halter neck crop top paired with baggy black trousers and open-toed heels. The Barbie star wore her blonde hair in soft waves around her shoulders and completed the ensemble with a sleek black designer handbag. Walking closely beside her was Jay Hernandez, 47, who played El Diablo in the 2016 DC film. The actor cut a dapper figure in a black button-up dress shirt, teamed with dark jeans and sneakers. The pair appeared to be in high spirits as they entered the venue together arm-in-arm, smiling and chatting as they joined the festivities. Margot is one of Australia's most renowned actresses and after getting her big break on Neighbours in 2008, she soared to fame in Hollywood blockbusters, including The Wolf of Wall Street and Barbie. It comes as Margot and her film producer husband Tom Ackerley have been settling into parenthood after welcoming a son in October. Margot's pregnancy was made public in July and the couple enjoyed a romantic 'babymoon' to Sardinia, Italy, at the end of August last year. Tom and Margot first met in 2013 while working on Suite Française, where he was an assistant director, and she was in front of the camera. They cemented their relationship after moving in together with other friends in a four bed house in Clapham, South London, which according to Margot was the 'best days of my life'. The couple later tied the knot in 2016 and have been going strong ever since. They also have a working relationship and are both co-producers on a number of projects, including Hulu's Dollface, through their production company LuckyChap Entertainment. 'I was the ultimate single gal. The idea of relationships made me want to vomit,' Margot told Vogue in 2016. 'And then this crept up on me. We were friends for so long. I was always in love with him,' she said. 'But I thought, "Oh, he would never love me back. Don't make it weird." 'Don't be stupid and tell him that you like him. 'And then it happened, and I was like, of course we're together. This makes so much sense, the way nothing has ever made sense before.'

From planned funerals to spending 'fake' winnings: How dozens of Gala Bingo players thought they'd scooped their share of £1.6million... only to be told it was a GLITCH
More than 1,000 Gala Bingo players were left with shattered dreams and empty pockets after the prizes they thought they had won were the result of an online glitch. The players believed they had nabbed up to £10,000 each from a prize pot of £1.6million on the popular online gambling site. But when they attempted to withdraw their winnings, they were told by the company that they would not be able to cash the money. The glitch in the bingo company's system resulted in the prize pot increasing to £1.6million when it should have only reached a maximum of £150. As a result, 1,188 players were left disappointed and out of pocket. The gambling site then sent out an email to its customers explaining the wins were a result of a technical fault and confirming that they would not be receiving the thousands of pounds some of the players felt they were owed. One family told The Daily Mail that they had hoped to spend their winnings on a funeral for a relative and were upset and disappointed when Gala Bingo said they could not cash the £9,600 they thought they had won. The Scottish pair, who wished to remain anonymous, discovered their accounts frozen and the money nowhere to be seen after playing online on Monday. A Scottish couple had hoped to spend their £7,000 on a funeral for a family member who had recently died and were disappointed when they were told the winnings were not theirs to cash One player even had his account on the website frozen and claims he has had his chat room privileges stopped because he was encouraging others to complain The woman revealed that her partner had recently lost his mother and was over the moon to find the 1p game providing winnings of up to £7,200. She confessed that they both felt like the Scotsman's mother was watching over and smiling down at them. She added that she also tried to cash in on the good luck and enjoyed a game of bingo, taking home £2,4000 herself. The couple were relieved by the surprise windfall and planned to spend the jackpot on a fully pink-themed funeral in honour of his mother complete with pink kilts. The woman said: 'My partner went up to get his medication and when he came back and sat down he looked shocked. I double checked and it said we had won £2,400. 'We thought we could take care of the funeral with no worries about the expense.' The Scot added that she feared something wasn't right when she saw there were as many as 1,000 winners and the jackpost was still available. But she and her partner continued to play and their fears were even soothed by the bingo chat room host who told them to enjoy their winnings. She explained that she believed to have had a lucky streak, winning a pot worth £2,400 three times in a row but when it came to cashing the money, her account was frozen She said: 'I wasn't sure about it all but then the host said "enjoy your winnings" - they obviously didn't realise what was happening.' The 52-year-old woman said that some players were able to withdraw the money straight to their Santander bank accounts but others couldn't. She told the Daily Mail that since the shocking incident, Gala Bingo has frozen her and her partners accounts and even disabled her husband's chat room privileges. because of his complaining. As recompense, she said they had been given some money back in the form of vouchers but felt it wasn't enough. She said: 'My partner is angry and it's become all-consuming, especially at such a difficult time. this has just knocked him sideways. 'It's all been dealt with so badly, it wasn't right.' And the husband and wife weren't the only ones blindsided by the Gala Bingo glitch. Victoria Geer, 28, and a full time mother from Oxford confessed she was 'shocked and so disappointed' to be told by the gambling site that her winnings were in fact not hers at all. She explained that she believed to have had a lucky streak, winning a pot worth £2,400 three times in a row but when it came to cashing the money, her account was frozen. The mother-of0one said: 'I put in £15 at around 8pm and played the 1p Bingo but by 8.30pm I'd been roped in to run-up rewards but I didn't know what that was and then suddenly I got told I had won £2,400 three times in a row.' She said the company's decision to blame a glitch and refuse to pay out was 'very sneaky and crafty.' Ms Greer added that she had thought the prize money was real throughout because even the chat host congratulated her and told her to spend her winnings. The mother told the Daily Mail that she had hoped to spend the small fortune on things for her new baby boy and a holiday but revealed they were all now on hold. 'I was going to spend the money on my 18-week-old boy and get him some lovely things for Christmas and go away on holiday with my partner to Spain for a week in March. 'I wanted driving lessons and a test because I don't drive at the moment so I'm disappointed,' she said. The mother said that while she initially bought her daughter a pair of Crocs instead of a pair of 'cheap sandals from Primark' she was loathed to do any more shopping in case Gala Bingo decided to take her winnings from her bank account. Mother and daughter Susan, 64, and Beth, 31, said they couldn't believe it when they thought they had won almost £10,000 together. The pair said they had withdrawn as soon as they could after seeing the winning notification pop up on screen but their payment never made it to their account. 'We were playing and then Emily said she had won something and it turned out we had won £9,600 each and I just couldn't believe it,' Susan said. 'I was worried it wasn't legit and so I tried to withdraw it but after about four hours it said the payment was cancelled.' The 64-year-old, who recently suffered a stroke, said she thought the money would go some way to renovating her cottage to make it more accessible following the change in her health. 'I was going to spend my winnings on changes to my cottage to help now that I've had this stroke.' She added that she thought Gala bingo needed to be held accountable and said she wanted some recompense for the stress of the whole experience. Bethand Susan received one per cent of the money they thought they had won and a Gala Bingo voucher but have said it's not enough. 'Somebody has to pay for this and something has to be done. 'Why did no one flag the error? I was told I had won £2,4000 three times in a row - how did no one spot this mistake? 'And to only give people one per cent back - it's not enough, it doesn't cover the stress this has caused. We've only got £96 out of the £9,600 we thought we had. Beth had some better luck than her mother and managed to withdraw some of the money before the transaction could be cancelled, but it was just a small amount of the full total she believed she had won. She said: 'I managed to withdraw about £250 but now the rest in my account has been frozen and I can't withdraw it. Some people might have been able to withdraw thousands but we couldn't and we don't know. 'Now we've just been given a bingo bonus of £20 but has to be spent on Gala Bingo and within a week so we're tied in because it's not withdrawable.' She added that both she and her mother would not be returning. Beth said: 'I won't play again. I've vowed never to play again. It's ruined my trust.' But not everyone had such a difficult time and one Manchester resident, who wished to remain anonymous, was one of the lucky few who managed to cash in all her winnings. The woman was able to cash in £2,400 from Gala Bingo and has been spending the money on clothes and shoes for her eight-year-old daughter ahead of their caravan holiday. She explained that she didn't think there was anything odd about the win because she had previously managed to bag £1,500 from the site but withdrew the cash immediately to put towards her family holiday. She said: 'I was playing and realised I'd won at 7.44pm and withdrew the money to my bank account at 7.46pm and it was there within ten minutes. I didn't even think there was anything wrong or it was a glitch because I've won a few times before and once won £1,500.' She added she thought her success was down to her speed and said she assumes she was one of the first to cash in her prize. The Bingo player added that she was also led to believe her success was nothing out of the ordinary because she received an official email from the company warning her to consider what to do with such a large sum and signposting gambling support. But the Manchester mother confessed she has since been wracked with guilt knowing that not everyone was as lucky as her. She told the Daily Mail: 'I feel so awkward and guilty - people are talking about suing them and saying they are owed money but I don't know. 'I can't sleep - I didn't get to sleep until 4.30am on Monday and it's put me off spending the money. ' The mother said that while she initially bought her daughter a pair of Crocs instead of a pair of 'cheap sandals from Primark' she was loathed to do any more shopping in case Gala Bingo decided to take her winnings from her bank account. 'I went to the Old Trafford Centre but I couldn't buy anything, I'm scared that if I spend it and they ask for it back - I can't have that kind of debt. 'I'm just trying to buy sensibly for my daughter for the holidays.' The Daily Mail has contacted Gala Bingo for comment.

BBC AXES critically-acclaimed drama after just ONE series - despite Oscar-nominated creator's plans for even more episodes
BBC bosses have reportedly axed the critically acclaimed drama This Town after just one series. The show, created by Peaky Blinders mastermind Steven Knight, 66, was generally well-received by critics and viewers alike, and won praise for its portrayal of the 1980s, its music, and compelling storytelling. Set against the backdrop of Birmingham and Coventry, the series featured music from legendary local bands including UB40 and The Specials. It followed an extended family and four young people drawn into the explosive and iconic music scene of the early '80s. Steven had hoped This Town would follow in the footsteps of Peaky Blinders and become his next big hit. When the first series aired in March last year, he made no secret of wanting to continue the story, saying: 'I certainly have enough ideas for more episodes going forward. He added at the time: 'I hope we are with these characters for a long time to come', however, the BBC has decided not to renew the series. A BBC spokesman told The Sun: 'We're hugely grateful to Steven Knight and the cast and crew for bringing This Town to life — in no small part due to Steven's passion for the West Midlands. 'We look forward to working with him on new projects in the future, and we're in talks about what's next.' Despite winning the Royal Television Society Award for Limited Series and Single Drama earlier this year, the show lost over a million viewers during its six-week run – pulling in more than 3.2 million for its premiere but failing to maintain those figures. According to The Sun, a BBC insider confirmed that the decision to axe the show was not due to Steven's busy schedule – which includes the ten-part World War Two epic Roads To Freedom. Nor was it due to the availability of the star-studded cast, which included Downton Abbey's Michelle Dockery. Daily Mail has contacted the BBC for comment. However, it's not all bad news for Steven, as he's just been signed to write the latest James Bond movie, Amazon MGM Studios confirmed earlier this week. The British screenwriter – best known for creating the hit BBC crime drama Peaky Blinders starring Cillian Murphy - said penning a 007 script has always been on his 'bucket list'. The latest Bond film is currently in development and is to be directed by Dune's Denis Villeneuve, with Amazon MGM Studios overseeing the project after longtime producer Barbara Broccoli gave up creative control. Meanwhile, Amy Pascal and David Heyman are on board to produce the movie via Pascal Pictures and Heyday Films, respectively, while Tanya Lapointe will serve as executive producer. Speaking about his involvement in the film, Steven told BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast: 'It has always been on my bucket list and it's fantastic to be invited to do it - I can't wait to get started. 'I'm hoping that, being a Bond fan for so many years, it will be imbued into me and I will be able to produce something that's the same but different, and better, stronger and bolder.' However, Steven failed to give any indication about who will replace Daniel Craig in the titular role. The actor, 57, stepped down from the iconic spy role after 2021's No Time To Die, having starred in five of the films over a 15-year period. Several actors have been tipped to step into his shoes, with stars including Taron Egerton, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Paul Mescal, and Theo James thrown into the mix. When pressed on who could be the new Bond, he responded: 'That is a very, very good question, and one I can't give you the answer to'. The last outing for James Bond was 2021's No Time to Die, with Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Neal Purvis, Robert Wade and Cary Joji Fukunaga on the writing team. Speaking of the selection process for the latest film, Steven shared: 'I was invited to a meeting with [producer] Amy Pascal, didn't know what it was about, and very quickly discovered what it was about and became very, very excited and hopeful. 'And then a process is followed where you do some meetings, you discuss some ideas, and then you find out you've got it. 'So I found out a while ago, but it was announced last night, which is great.' He added that it was a 'high pressure' job, before noting: 'you've just got to do what you do, do it as well as you can'. It comes after Taron Egerton responded to speculation that he could be the next James Bond after Daniel Craig 's exit. Many A-list names have been thrown into the ring during the months of speculation about who will play 007 next following Amazon's takeover of the franchise. Rocketman star Taron, 35, has been rumoured to be in the running to be Bond as far back as 2019, with Sir Roger Moore 's son Geoffrey even backing him for the role. However, Taron has now dashed fans' hopes as he poured cold water on the idea, insisting he is too 'messy' to play the suave secret agent. 'I don't think I'm a good choice for it, I think I'm too messy for that,' he told Collider. 'I really love James Bond and particularly Daniel Craig's tenure, but I think I wouldn't be good at it. 'I think there's so many cool, younger actors who would be great for it, I think it would be wasted on me, probably.' Taron also acknowledged that taking on the Bond mantel is quite an undertaking and insisted nobody has actually approached him about the role. But he didn't rule out taking on another major commercial project as he revealed he wouldn't turn down a different opportunity, though he remained coy about what that might be.
