Myleene Klass revealed she helped save a stranger’s life while volunteering for St John Ambulance at Brighton Pride this weekend
Myleene Klass revealed she helped save a stranger’s life while volunteering for St John Ambulance at Brighton Pride this weekend. The former Hear’Say singer took to her Instagram page to share the story after explaining she chose to volunteer because she “can and I have little eyes watching me”.
“I am the official SJA ambassador, not just in name but in action. I tell my children daily, a person is who they show you they are, not who they say they are. Walk the walk”, she said in a post before further diving into the details of the events that unfolded over the weekend.
She said a man became critically ill during the headline set by Sugababes at Preston Park. The star was part of a first response unit and was asked to perform a ‘jaw thrust’ movement to clear the patient’s airways. It comes after reports Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are set for new ‘goldmine’ offer – but could face issue.

It involves lifting the lower jaw forward, displacing the jaw forward, and lifting the tongue away from the back of the throat. “You can probably hear the Sugababes are on in the background, and I’ve just helped save a life”, she explained.
“It was honestly awe-inspiring seeing how St John Ambulance operated. We have doctors and paramedics. Everyone is here. Everyone just did their bit”.
The starm who became St John Ambulance’s first celebrity ambassador in 2024, went on to say: “I cannot divulge what happened with the patient, what the circumstances are but what I can say is I am utterly blown away and just to have been a small part of it as well.
” I actually just had to do the procedure that is known as a jaw thrust – that gives you an indication as to how serious the scenario was. The patient is on their way to the hospital right now. “
Myleene also gave a shout out to the paramedics and staff at pride. She wrote:” To the SJA team, you are exceptional. You said afterwards you were ‘ just doing your jobs ‘ but as SJA volunteers, that’s not entirely true.
“You were following a calling on your ‘ day off ‘ which saved a life and immeasurable heartache for the patient’s family and friends. Being part of the team meant I saw it happen in real time.
” Quickly, yet calmly. I couldn’t be more proud to be a part of it. To event organisers thinking of ‘ cost cutting ‘ on first aid, remember, first aid isn’t important until you need it, then it’s fundamental.
“SJA has trauma doctors, paramedics, experienced personal with over 50 years in the field. What it also has is heart and dignity for patients.
” The head of our team was a specialist paediatrician and her leadership and kindness (she sings to her patients when they get scared) really got to me. “
