Myleene Klass cuts a chic figure in a white power suit as she celebrates her MBE with famous pals Christine Lampard and Nicole and Natalie Appleton
Myleene Klass celebrated receiving her MBE with a bash at Gymkhana in London on Wednesday where she was joined by celeb pals Christine Lampard and Nicole and Natalie Appleton. The former Hear'Say star, 47, who was honoured for her services to women's health, miscarriage awareness and charity, looked incredible in a crisp white power suit layered over a pale pink lace cami. She added a touch of height with white pointed heels and proudly sported her red MBE brooch during the stylish celebrations. TV presenter Christine, 46, looked effortlessly elegant in a black halterneck maxi dress teamed with black open-toe heels, as she posed alongside her close friend. Also showing their support were former All Saints singers Nicole and Natalie Appleton. Natalie, 52, oozed sophistication in a baby pink paisley-print dress paired with striking orange platform heels. Her younger sister Nicole, 50, opted for a more laid-back look, teaming a white graphic-print tee with a cream blazer and wide-leg blue denim jeans. Myleene's daughter, Ava Bailey Quinn, 17, also joined the celebrations. She donned a red rose-print dress as she beamed with pride next to her mum. She was joined by Ava Klass, who stunned in a blue backless tie-up dress for the occasion. Also in attendance were actress Tina Hobley, DJ Lauren Laverne, presenter Vanessa Feltz, and journalist Kate Thornton. Tina put on a leggy display in a chic black playsuit and heels as she larked about with party props, while Lauren turned heads in a vibrant red high-neck dress with flared cuffs. Vanessa opted for a summery pink floral number with draped detailing, and Kate kept things playful in a bold blue power suit layered over a yellow smiley-face T-shirt. Myleene's youngest son, Apollo, five, looked adorable in a navy blue suit and rose gold tie as he posed proudly with his mum. Myleene was officially honoured with her MBE during an investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle earlier that day. Myleene has campaigned for paid bereavement leave to be extended to those who experience a miscarriage. The mother of three suffered four miscarriages and has spoken openly about the psychological effects of baby loss on women. She is an ambassador for the pregnancy and baby charity Tommy's and fronted the Bafta-nominated documentary Myleene Klass: Miscarriage And Me in 2021, in which she met women around the UK to hear their experiences. Myleene has said she is 'so proud' of how far she has come and reflected on how she had battled back 'from a very dark place'. Talking to the BBC earlier this year, she said: 'When I think back to how all of this started, it all came from a very dark place, and I certainly didn't have it in mind to become a campaigner at the time. 'Anyone who has experienced baby loss will know how personal and difficult it is to vocalise this level of trauma.' Myleene has championed changes to the Women's Health Strategy, advocating for earlier support for women rather than waiting until they have experienced three miscarriages. Her efforts have focused on improving miscarriage care and raising awareness about the emotional and heartbreaking toll of baby loss. The musician has used her platform to push for government reforms and has played a key role in ensuring baby loss is addressed as a critical health issue. She added: 'If you suffered three heart attacks, you wouldn't only be offered support after the third one, and so it shouldn't be the same with baby loss'. The former Hear'Say singer's work has been widely praised for its impact on breaking the silence around miscarriage and offering hope and support to other women. Myleene has been working with MP Sarah Owen, MP Olivia Blake, Miscarriage Association, and Tommys for a law to be introduced so that women and their partners would be able to take leave. In March, Myleene fought back the tears on Loose Women as they congratulated her on her MBE. At the start of the episode of the ITV show, Christine shared the news that she had been given the outstanding achievement. Myleene explained: 'It's for my services to miscarriage. 'So it feels really important, but because it is that subject matter, all that work understandably feels really sad and really heavy.' The singer has been busy working behind the scenes to help educate young boys and girls about fertility. Christine praised her highly for the work that she's doing and said to Myleene: 'Your work has been amazing. 'To hear all of these big names, including The King, seeing the word miscarriage and know it something you're working on and that we're dealing with. It's fantastic.' Myleene replied: 'You're going to make me cry!' The star is a proud mum to three kids, five-year-old son Apollo, with fiancé Simon Motson and her two daughters, Ava, 17, and Hero, 13, with her ex-husband Graham Quinn.

Boy who stabbed pupil to death tells jury being bullied led to anger issues
The teenager took to the witness box at Sheffield Crown Court on Wednesday, where he is on trial for the murder of Harvey Willgoose, also 15, at All Saints Catholic High School in the city in February. He told the jury he was subjected to racist bullying on social media and taunts about a medical condition while he was at a number of Sheffield schools. The defendant said the bullying has affected how he controls his temper and 'I'm upset all the time'. Asked by his barrister Gul Nawaz Hussain KC how this affected his temper, the boy said: 'I can get angry quickly, upset quickly. 'I can't control it.' Mr Hussain also asked his client about social media. The boy said he had been bullied online by 'strangers' and by pupils at All Saints, including 'racist bullying'. Harvey Willgoose was stabbed during a lunch break at All Saints Catholic High School (Jacob King/PA) The barrister asked him: 'When bullying was happening on social media, did you feel you could get away from it?' The boy said no. When Mr Hussain asked him about the worst threat he had received on social media, the defendant replied: 'Someone said, 'I'll stab you up'.' He said he began to believe the threats and, when his barrister asked 'how did that make you feel?', the boy said: 'Scared.' The boy told the jury about his home life, explaining how his mother had mental health problems and his father was often not there. He said the house was not clean and it was often left to him to do laundry and make meals for him and his siblings. The defendant said he was also hit by his father. Teachers have told the jury that the defendant had 'anger issues'. Asked about this by Mr Hussain, the boy said: 'I can't control my anger sometimes.' The barrister said: 'Where do you think all this anger comes from?' The boy replied: 'Home.' Mr Hussain continued: 'Has the bullying affected your anger?' The boy said: 'Yes.' He said he did not tell his mother or father about the bullying because they 'wouldn't care'. The defendant stood in the witness box facing the jury of eight women and four men, holding a fidget toy and supported by an intermediary. The defendant has admitted manslaughter but denies murder (Jacob King/PA) The jury has been shown CCTV footage of Harvey being stabbed in the courtyard at All Saints during the lunch break on February 3. The court has heard that the defendant, who cannot be named, has admitted manslaughter but denies murder. He has also admitted possession of a knife on school premises. The defendant was asked about an incident in November 2024, which was also captured on CCTV, in which he punched a computer monitor after he was accused of using social media on his phone during a lesson. Asked by Mr Hussain why he did this, he said: 'Because I was angry.' He said he was not using the phone for social media and he thought it was 'unfair' he had been given a sanction by the teacher without her giving him a chance to explain himself. The defendant will continue giving evidence on Thursday. Addressing the jury last week, Mr Hussain said: '(The defendant) did not set out to kill or seriously hurt anyone. 'The defence say (the defendant's) actions that day were the end result of a long period of bullying, poor treatment and violence, things that built one upon another until he lost control and did tragically what we've all seen.'
