Myleene Klass’ ex‑husband Graham Quinn: From heroin offences to betrayal on her birthday

At her own birthday party, Myleene Klass claims to have found her ex-husband “cheating” on her with another famous person in a new bombshell interview about him.

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.”

Myleene Klass claimed that after discovering her ex-husband’s “cheating,” her entire world collapsed.

Myleene, who lives with her now-ex-boyfriend Ava, 17, and Hero, 13, both admitted to living together after discovering exactly what happened after she spotted the pair “unzipping” each other.

Graham and Myleene first met when Graham was a security guard for Myleene’s pop group, Hear ‘Say, from the beginning of the year 2000.

The couple started dating in the middle of the 2000s, and they welcomed their second child, Hero, in 2011 and their first, Ava, in 2007. They got married in 2011, but their union ended just six months later, and the divorce was finalized in 2013.

allegations of Heroin

Prior to this, Myleene has previously discussed the legal issues involving her ex-husband. He was reportedly detained at one point in connection with charges of heroin possession and distribution.

Myleene revealed Graham had jumped bail after being detained at the age of 17 for heroin possession in his native Dublin in a 2012 interview with The Standard.

He was very upfront with me about what he had done before we even thought about starting a relationship, she said. He was young and suffocated by a hostile environment. I found his honesty and lack of justifications for his actions shocking, but I also applauded his sincerity. To judge, who was I?

He was given a suspended prison sentence, was fined, and has since become a supporter of the Drugsline Foundation, where he educates students about the risks of drugs.

Birthday betrayal

They weren’t having sex, Myleene said in the podcast, “but they were unzipping each other.”

She described how she felt about the unnamed lover who had been separated from her ex-husband as a result as: “I’ve made peace with that situation now, but it’s been very difficult to see their life for a long time.

Not that I would want that in a family, I suppose… I don’t know if I’m conflicted. My life literally literally literally splintered very publicly, and they’ve managed to maintain a family brand as a result. For a long time, it felt so challenging.

Wedding

Within six months, the marriage allegedly ended. She felt betrayed by Quinn’s secret real estate purchase and refusal to consent to a prenuptial agreement.

We had the largest row, she said, as she put it. I had questioned why he wouldn’t sign the marriage. I asked again the night before our wedding… He actually owned a secret house, which he had already purchased.

The relationship was emotionally and financially draining, and the divorce came afterward. As a single parent for 12 years, Myleene said, “All I can tell you is that I’ve raised my children on my own, financially, and single-handedly.”

My life literally literally just broke apart very publicly, according to Myleene, and they have managed to maintain a family brand as a result.

She recalled their wedding as the “most miserable” time, and she cried the entire reception.

Queen’s strict royal style rule she swore by but Meghan Markle didn’t follow it

There is one color Meghan wore at numerous engagements that the late Queen frequently wore to bright outfits for major events.

Robert Hardman, a royal author, has explained the humble reason why Queen Elizabeth wore such vibrant outfits to royal engagements.

The late Queen Elizabeth was known for wearing bright colours to major royal events, stepping out in colour-coordinated outfits that featured matching dresses, coats, hats and complimentary accessories.

The Queen became a style icon and inspiration over her decades as monarch, which prompted many people to experiment with all the rainbow’s colors when choosing their daily outfits.

While the late Queen always opted for daring and colourful ensembles, one member of the royal family chose to do the opposite : Meghan Markle. According to royal author Robert Hardman, there was one major reason why the Queen always chose to be brightly dressed – so she stood out during busy royal events.

In Hardman’s biography titled Our Queen, the royal author described the late royal as “engagingly modest” despite being one of the most famous women in the world. He said: “My favourite remark she ever said was, ‘I can never wear beige because nobody will know who I am’.”

The Queen’s colorful side was revealed at ceremonies and other royal engagements, which required a sophisticated dress code, and she kept her outfits on point, especially because of her underaverage 5’3 “frame.

As well as wanting to wear bright colours, the late Queen also tailored her outfits to fit the nation that she was visiting. For example, during her visits to Australia, the monarch would always wear the nation’s colours of green and gold.

Sali Hughes, a journalist and royal author, asserted in her 2019 book, Our Rainbow Queen, that Queen Elizabeth and her dressers would carefully consider the itinerary of a trip or engagement before choosing an outfit.

She won’t attend a wedding in camouflaged green, like at a racecourse or garden party. But she will use green where necessary to stand out.

While the Queen always opted for colourful tones to dress in, Meghan Markle adopted the opposite style technique, as she revealed in her Netflix docuseries that, during her time as a working royal, she would don neutral colours to “blend in”.

Meghan explained her fashion choices, saying in the docuseries alongside her husband Prince Harry : “Most of the time that I was in the U.K., I rarely wore colour. There was thought in that.

Meghan Markle
Meghan Markle always wore muted tones to “blend in” in contrast to the Queen.

“To my understanding, you could never wear the same colour as Her Majesty [Queen Elizabeth II] if there’s a group event, but then you also shouldn’t be wearing the same colour as one of the other more senior members of the family,” she said, possibly referring to royals like Princess Kate or Queen Camilla.

Continue reading the article.

What color is a color they’ll probably never wear, I thought? White, beige, and camel. I wore a lot of muted tones as a result, but also so that I could just blend in. I’m not attempting to be distinctive here. There was no version of me embracing this family and attempting to fit in. I don’t want to belittle my family.

‘I usually avoid full coverage foundations but L’Oreal’s new launch has changed my mind’

Can L’Oreal’s new full coverage 2-in-1 foundation and concealer compete with Mirror’s shopping writer Grace, who swears by hydrating skin tints for her everyday base?

L’Oreals Skin Ink foundation is my new go-to for days I want extra coverage(Image: Grace Salmon )

When it comes to foundation and base products, I’ve already leaned towards lower coverage skin tints. I love the hydrated, non-cakey finish they tend to leave on the skin. My go-tos include Ilia’s Super Serum Skin Tint, £42, Sculpted By Aimee’s Hydra Tint, £23, and Revolution’s ultra-affordable Skin Blur Soft Focus Skin Tint, £5. However, recently I’ve been on the hunt for a fuller coverage foundation for those days when I’m looking for a little extra polish or want my makeup to last from the office straight through to post-work drinks. After trialling a few that felt thick, drying, and heavy, I finally stumbled on a winner.

L’Oreal Paris’ new Infallible Skin Ink 2-in-1 Foundation and Concealer, which retails for a reasonable price of £14.99., has earned its spot in my routine.

This clever 2-in-1 hybrid serves as both a concealer and foundation, giving wearers buildable coverage while maintaining a soft, matte finish that is breathable and lightweight.

This complexion product blends seamlessly, leaving no obtrusive lines or patches, giving you smoother skin that still looks like skin. It effectively covers spots, pigmentation, or blemishes without feeling cakey at the same time as a skin-toned or tinted moisturiser because it provides more coverage than a skin-toned moisturiser or skin-tinted moisturizer.

Because it’s a two-in-one product, concealer can be applied straight away, keeping your base fresh and natural.

It also uses fusion technology to give coverage that stays put for up to 48 hours, meaning no midday touch-ups are needed.

Another bonus is that it makes a great handbag product to carry around due to its compact and small size. As I mentioned, touch-ups aren’t really needed. However, if you’re in the office and want a little extra coverage for the evening, you can easily slot this in your bag and use it on the go thanks to its handy doe-foot applicator. My skin is oilier, so if you have very dry skin, you might struggle with this product clinging to dry patches. To combat this, I make sure my skin is fully prepped with a hydration moisturiser and a milky toner or serum underneath.

Prince Harry’s ‘sadness’ at losing out to Prince William is ‘price to pay’ in bitter rift

Jennie Bond has expressed concern about the news that could divide the royal brothers further, just days after a close friend of both Harry and William revealed the birth of his first child.

The Duke and Duchess of Westminster, who are good friends of both Prince William and Prince Harry, announced the birth of their first child.

Both princes have a long history with the couple, with William and Harry’s friendship with Hugh Grosvenor going back years. The Duke is even godparent to Prince George, and also reportedly to Prince Archie.

With a new baby in the mix, and Harry and William’s feud seemingly still raging on despite the rumours of peace talks within the Sussex camp and royal family, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond has revealed how the tiny tot could drive an even bigger wedge between the royal brothers. Jennie’s comments come after news that Prince Harry will ‘never be forgiven’ by two major royals despite reconciliation hope.

The royal expert told the Mirror that despite the joyous news of the baby girl’s birth, the Duke and Duchess could be caught in the middle of the warring brothers if they are considering either prince for a role as godfather.

Many of William and Harry’s friends feel forced to take sides, Jennie said, just like with a marriage break-up. The Duke of Westminster had to navigate a difficult path because Hugh had close ties to both William and Harry.

“And it seems he has largely sided with William, (at least in public). It was William who was invited to the big wedding, he was an usher, and William who stood alongside Hugh and his new wife Olivia cheering on Aston Villa in their exciting Champions League quarter final.”

According to Jennie, given the couple’s long history with William, “There is a likely royal godfather for the couple’s newborn daughter.” It seems likely that William will be asked because there is already a lot of “cross pollination” between the families regarding godparents.

Prince Harry, Prince William
According to Jennie, William’s appointment as the child’s godfather is “the price Harry has to pay” for leaving the firm.

Harry’s decision to choose William to be the baby’s godfather would likely cause him to cry, according to Jennie, but the Grosvenors would have made it easier because of Harry’s current, and possibly ongoing, relationship with the Firm.

The fact that Harry lives so far away and has no chance of ever moving back to the UK, Jennie said, makes these awkward decisions slightly easier. And that’s not the best way to perform any godparenting responsibilities.

“It makes sense that Harry would accept that William would be chosen as the godfather instead of him. However, for him to see his ex-familiar friends continue to live independently while William enjoys their close friendship’s warmth and fun must still be sad. However, he must pay a price for making such reprehensible allegations and causing such a bitter rift with his family.

Last week, the Duke and Duchess of Westminster gave birth to their daughter, Cosima Florence Grosvenor.

After revealing they were expecting their first child back in March, the couple announced the birth of their first child in a statement, saying the baby was born in London, adding: “Both the Duchess and Cosima are doing well. The Duke and Duchess now look forward to spending this special time together as a family.”

Cosima is both Greek and Italian. The name derives from the Greek word kosmos (), which means harmony, or the universe, and has a beautiful, elegant meaning.

Sam Bailey: ‘I won The X Factor but only really wanted one simple thing’

Sam Bailey, the crooner for The X Factor, details how Adolescence star Stephen Graham has helped him realize his dream and the real reason she auditioned for the show.

Former prison officer Sam Bailey, 48, shot to fame after winning The X Factor in 2013 and since then, she’s not only forged a singing career, but has also become a force to be reckoned with in musical theatre, with roles in everything from Chicago to Everybody’s Talking About Jamie. But as new catches up with her after one of her powerhouse performances at the Paul Stank Charitable Trust Summer Ball, it’s clear that fame hasn’t gone to her head.

The Leicester-based mum-of-three, who has been married to husband Craig Pearson for 22 years, is warm and down-to-earth as she stops to pose for selfies with fans. Here, Sam opens up to OK! about her son Tommy’s health challenges, hanging out with Rebekah Vardy, her career goals and why she’ll always be grateful to Adolescence star Stephen Graham…

Sam, how are you?

I’m good, too. My 24th cruise to date, which I just finished off on a Seaborn cruise! Miley, my 10-year-old daughter, was the only passenger on board, so she was spoilt for life! And with the kids, we’ll soon be taking a trip to Disney, Florida.

Your son Tommy, who is autistic, was given the epilepsy diagnosis in May of last year. That must have been enthralling.

It’s been a mad time. We have to normalise it now – and educate people on what to do in certain situations. WhereverI am in the world, I have two alarms set to UK time – one at 7am and one at 7pm, so I can call Tommy and check that he’s taken his meds. If he doesn’t, six or seven hours later he could have a massive seizure.

How are the children doing?

Brooke is at uni, she’s going into musical theatre, and Tommy’s just finished his GCSEs. But he had a seizure three days before his maths GCSE as it can cause brain fog and we had to get an exemption for him, so that’s been difficult. You have to fight for everything – but I’m a mum and that’s what you do.

Does your husband Craig miss you when you’re away? You travel a lot.

Funny how he says, “When are you off again? ” when I return home. because I just arrived home and created a total mess! There is washing all over as I unpack suitcases… I might have a day to sort everything before going home.

She’s not worried if her kids follow her into showbiz – as long as they’re ‘happy’(Image: sambaileysinger/Instagram)

Do you want to pursue any other career-related endeavors?

I’d love to go into TV acting and films. I did a musical earlier this year, Now That’s What I Call A Musical, with the brilliant Nina Wadia and I think I have acting chops, so I’ve got to get myself an acting agent. A comedy role would be great. Or EastEnders. I auditioned for Corrie years ago, not long after The X Factor, I was terrible. But now I’ve done seven musicals and I think I’m pretty good. I just want to get my teeth stuck into something new.

You don’t rest on your laurels, you know…

Ha, no. I believe that my happiness increases as my workload increases. I only visited The X Factor to purchase a new kitchen. I didn’t pursue fame or clout. I continued to want more. However, I’ve gotten comfortable with that platform now that I have one. Some of the people who have performed in such shows have a problem because they sing, not because of that.

How do you feel about the criticism that The X Factor has received?

Never bite the hand that feeds you, because I’ve traveled all over the world and started working on The X Factor. Only positive things happened in my experiences. Simon and I haven’t spoken in a while, but occasionally we bump into each other at odd times.

You duetted with Nicole Scherzinger on the final of The X Factor – are you still in touch with her?

I speak to her other half, Thom Evans, actually. I know Thom of old. I used to do a lot of events that he would go to, being a rugby player. So when I saw him on The X Factor: Celebrity, I was rooting for him – he’s such a ball of fun and gorgeous to look at. I was praying he and Nicole would get together.

Rebekah and Jamie Vardy, are you still friends?

Yes, I went to their kids’ birthday parties! But my kids know their kids, they grew up together and they’re such gorgeous children. I remember we went to this soft play centre in Leicester once when the kids were little – we went in and Jamie and Bex and the kids were there. Then in walked Stephen Graham, [his wife] Hannah and their two children! People in there were like, ‘Whaaat…?!’

Know Stephen Graham well?

Yes, and let me tell you that my son is interested in acting. And he’s such a nice guy. Tommy and I went to see Venom, and my husband said, “Ah, Stephen Graham’s in this, I didn’t realize – me and your mother know him.” What did my son say to me? Do you know Stephen Graham? I’d like to work in acting.

I messaged Stephen and said, “My boy wants to act because of you.” And this child never leaves his room. I played it to Tom after Stephen gave him a four-minute voice note with lots of advice. Then he had to write a monologue, audition for a college, and utterly slammed it. He was accepted, and he will enroll in acting school in September. That’s quite a feat for an autistic child who has epilepsy.

Are you concerned about your children entering the show business?

As long as they are content, no. I’ve never said to my kids, “I don’t care what you do as long as you get stamps on your passport,” other than that. I am aware of the number of people who remain in their own country. There is such a large world out there. Explore it if you can.
