Myleene Klass has revealed that she once caught her husband, former Hear’Say bodyguard Graham Quinn, about to have sex with a celebrity on her birthday.
The presenter, 47, was reflecting on her past in an emotional podcast that saw her open up about her previous marriage.
The star was married for two years to her Irish bodyguard from her band Hear’Say, initially meeting in 2001, marrying in 2011, and divorcing two years later in 2013.
Speaking about their relationship, she revealed that she caught him about to sleep with a ‘famous person’ while in her own home for her birthday.
‘I walked in on him with a famous person on my birthday on a balcony,’ she told Paul Brunson on the We Need To Talk podcast.
She said that the pair were taking off each other’s clothes and immediately tried to claim that it wasn’t what it looked like: ‘I’m in my house, it’s my party. They weren’t having sex, but they were unzipping each other.
‘“It’s not what you think”. But I’m like, “It is what I think.” It’s the first thing they both said.
When asked how she reacted, she said: ‘I kicked everyone 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 was like “Ok”. I remember thinking that was quite a weird thing to say.’
She said that he later blamed the ‘drink’.
‘I’ve made peace with that situation now but for a long time it was very difficult to see their life… Not that I would wish that on a family,’ she said.
‘I don’t know, I feel conflicted.
‘But my life literally just broke apart very, very publicly.
‘And their life, they’ve managed to continue building a family brand on it and it felt so difficult for a long time. This is the person I caught him with,’ she said without giving any details about the person she caught him with.
She said that despite the cheating, she still went through with the wedding. The star admitted that she cried throughout the whole day because she was just devastated.
In May 2024, she said on Loose Women that she nearly jilted her ex-husband on her wedding day: ‘I was in the bath the night before I got married – which most of us know, didn’t end well, in fact [it went] so badly that the priest even offered to annul the wedding. It was that quick!’ she said.
‘I was in the bath and I was just sobbing because something didn’t feel right, I just knew it wasn’t right. And my girlfriend, now my girlfriend of 18 years, at the time she just said, “The car is outside.” Like Thelma and Louise, we could just go.’
‘At the time I didn’t feel I could go, I had two children, and I had this wedding, you know, we had the cathedral and we had the priest and it was just everything was there.’
The pair were granted a quickie divorce in a hearing that allegedly lasted just 100 seconds.
She added for 12 years she has raised her children as a single parent, emotionally and financially.
Who is Myleene Klass’ ex-husband?
