Myleene Klass has blasted her ex-husband Graham Quinn as she compared him to her new love, Simon Motson.
The former Hear'Say singer, who is currently pregnant with her and Simon's first child together, revealed how Graham walking out on his family just six months into their marriage nearly broke her.
Speaking to Hello! magazine , Myleene revealed how her ex's treatment meant she found it incredibly hard to trust Sim, who she met when friends set them up on a blind date three years ago.

"I said I would not meet up until I found out if he had left his family. After everything I had been through, there was no way I wanted to be with someone like that," she said in a jibe against Graham, adding that she would wake up feeling "nervous" and "insecure" in her previous relationship.
"Since the day we met, Sim has been incredible. Not in a million years could I have ever imagined this would happen. I never imagined there was a person out there like him."
Myleene, 36, also said she isn't bothered about marriage now because she knows how easily vows can be destroyed.

"I am an old fashioned girl and if we did that it would be more for the children. But I know better than anybody that it is more than a piece of paper and a ring that holds something together," she went on.
"It's patience, love, dedication to each other, honesty and having the same morals. If I thought he had it in him to walk out on a family or cheat, I couldn't be with him."
But, she admitted, her distrusting mindset has changed since the end of her marriage seven years ago.

"We are not bound by our pasts. I always thought I would never trust again. But then I met Sim and I forgot everything I ever said," she added. "It took 36 years to find him. He was worth waiting for.
"I'm not frightened of anything any more because I've already been through hell and I know I can survive it."
Myleene is due to give birth in July, and says her existing children - Ava, 11, and eight-year-old Hero - plus Simon's two kids can't wait to meet their new baby brother or sister.
"Snoop [the baby's 'working title'] is going to be the glue," Myleene added.
