Myleene Klass has shared a defiant post about overcoming “betrayal” after dropping the bombshell claims about her cheating fiancé.
She caused shockwaves earlier this week when she said she caught her then-fiancé Graham Quinn undressing a famous woman during her own birthday party.
The former Hear'Say singer, 47, refused to name the celebrity in question but said they have built up a successful “family brand” in the public eye.
Amid her fans’ struggle to work out the woman’s identity, Klass declared that she doesn’t regret her honesty in the podcast interview.
“’You should do it, it would be good for you, but be honest, everyone knows when people aren’t honest.’ My manager before We need to talk podcast,” she wrote on Instagram.
“’Errrrr s*** Leens, I didn’t think you were going to be THAT honest.’ My manager AFTER We need to talk podcast.”
Discussing the process of recording the interview with dating expert Paul C Brunson, Klass said she has become “more comfortable with being vulnerable”.
“I wasn’t prepared for how disarming Paul is and how he looks into your soul and pulls out the very core of what makes you tick,” she admitted.
“I didn’t think he’d be able to do it. From the outside, what do we have in common? Maybe that was the challenge, to see what he had on me. Turns out, a lot.
“We ran into the night, five hours of recording, (subsequently multiple lawyers on both sides listened back and reached for their fire blankets) and we actually REALLY got on.
“The two of us in a room brought out raucous laughter, the kind where you throw your head back and ugly cackle, abject sorrow, shock and everything else in between.”
She went on: “My life has been played out in public for 26 years. I’ve lost relationships, been turned over (by men, not all men, but always men) and had to rebuild on more than one occasion.
“I’ve also won. I won my jungle crown, my MBE, my family, my place and my peace.
“I don’t care if people like me anymore, I’m not the terrified 20 year old girl from Hear’say being pelted with chow mein on stage for trying to sing a few songs.
“I’m no longer the girl who watched her life go up in smoke, fighting for everything I’d built from people who’d meticulously planned how to take it.
“I’ve been torn down by those who were meant to love me, I think I’ll be ok. In fact, I know I will. A mixed race girl, a neek from Norfolk, no one expected much (my school report proves this).”
The former model concluded: “I learned to hustle, stand up for myself and leave the betrayals behind. Who knew being a Mum would be the making of me, as failing meant my children failing (including the ones I never got to hold) and that was never going to happen.”
Klass said on the We Need To Talk podcast: “I walked in on [Quinn] with a famous person on my birthday on a balcony.
“I’m in my house. It’s my party. They weren’t having sex, but they were unzipping each other.”
“They said, ‘It’s not what you think,’ but I was like, ‘It is what I think.’ I kicked everyone out — 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.”
Despite the betrayal, Klass said she stayed in the relationship and went ahead with the wedding. “He said it was the drink,” she said, calling the incident a “pretty big red flag.”
“I’ve made peace with that situation now,” she said, reflecting on the woman involved.
“But my life literally broke apart very very publicly. And their life? They’ve gone on to build a family brand on it. I wouldn’t wish it on a family — I feel conflicted — but it was incredibly hard.”
Klass married Quinn in 2011, ten years after they met when he was working as a bodyguard for her former band Hear’Say. But just six months after tying the knot — and with two young daughters, Ava and Hero — Quinn walked out on the family.
The singer is now engaged to PR executive Simon Motson, with whom she shares a five-year-old son, Apollo.
