SHE has an army of famous pals and is often seen rubbing shoulders with stars at showbiz parties.
But despite her seemingly perfect life, Myleene Klass claims her first husband, Graham Quinn, cheated on her with another celeb — and that vile Harvey Weinstein once offered to make her a movie star in exchange for sex.

In a bombshell interview yesterday, the singer-turned-broadcaster said she walked in on her then partner and another woman unzipping each other’s clothes at HER birthday party.
Myleene — who wouldn’t divulge the female’s name but said she built her career off a “family brand” — revealed: “I walked in on him with a famous person on my birthday on a balcony. It was in my house.
“It was my party. They weren’t having sex, but they were unzipping each other.
“[They said] ‘It’s not what you think’, but it is what I think. It’s the first thing they both said.
“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 was like, ‘OK’. I just remember that being quite a weird thing to say.”
Myleene admitted she struggled to see the woman continuing as normal after the run-in, explaining: “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. 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.”

Former Hear’Say singer Myleene, 47, had met Graham when he was working as part of the band’s security team.
Despite the incident, she went on to marry him. They had two children, Ava and Hero, during their 12-year relationship, but were granted a divorce in 2013.
Recalling their 2011 wedding in Norwich, which was attended by just 16 people, Myleene said: “It was the most miserable . . . No one forgot this wedding because I literally cried the entire reception.”
It was made worse by the fact that the couple butted heads over her request for him to sign a pre-nuptial agreement.
Chatting to Paul C. Brunson on the We Need To Talk podcast, she said: “So we’d had the biggest row, myself and my ex, because I’d asked him why he wouldn’t sign the prenup.
“On the night of our wedding, I asked again. I just felt something was wrong and he didn’t want a big wedding.

“My best mate wasn’t even at my wedding. They weren’t allowed to come, otherwise he wouldn’t go through with it.”
Months later, the marriage was finished. She said: “On the day he decided it was over, he pushed a little Post-It note across the table with the figure he wanted.
“I was just like, ‘How have you figured this out?’.”
But Myleene — who is now engaged to PR guru Simon Motson — added: “All I will say to you is I’ve raised my children single-handedly, financially, as a sole parent for 12 years.”
It was not the first time Myleene had faced secret anguish away from the spotlight.
I believe every woman who came forward because I sat there and I was utterly devastated because I didn’t know if I was going to get out.

She also confirmed that convicted sex offender Weinstein once offered her a “sex contract” to make her a Hollywood star.
The Sun told in 2017 how he had propositioned her during a meeting at Cannes Film Festival in 2010.
Addressing it for the first time, Myleene admitted she felt “utterly devastated” when he made the sick offer, as she wasn’t sure she would be able to escape him.
She had interviewed him on the red carpet for CNN, and he suggested they had a meeting over lunch — then used the opportunity to try to take advantage of her.
Asked about the “sex contract”, she said: “Well, it’s, ‘You have sex with me and I’ll make you famous’. I said, ‘I’m already famous in the areas I want to be’.
“[He said] ‘Well, you can be in this movie like X, Y, Z’, and started naming all these women.
“And then I said, ‘I don’t want to be in the movies’.
“I believe every woman who came forward because I sat there and I was utterly devastated because I didn’t know if I was going to get out.”
‘It’s fight or flight’
On how she escaped the situation, Myleene continued: “I said we’d be in touch and made it very business-like, I suppose. I just got out.
“Lunch finished and I got out. Any woman will tell you it’s fight or flight. Any woman who’s been in that position where somebody’s being predatory, they don’t have to come with a weapon.
“We feel it in our gut, we know immediately when we’re in danger.”
Myleene was already a star in her own right, having been runner-up on I’m A Celebrity . . . Get Me Out of Here! in 2006, when she famously wore a white bikini in the jungle shower.
Speaking about the impact the piece of swimwear had on her life, Myleene — who said she sells one every 45 seconds through her business — revealed she originally packed a stripy bikini for the show.
But she was rushed out by bosses to buy an alternative just before heading into the jungle, as they said the design would “strobe” and look weird on camera.

She was urged to pick “the plainest bikini you can find” instead. The Classic FM DJ explained: “I went into the shop and said, ‘I need the plainest bikini’, and the woman in the shop went, ‘Here’s a white bikini’. I owe that girl everything.”
The show was a reinvention for Myleene as it landed her a long-running modelling deal with Marks & Spencer and meant she was back in business, four years after Hear’Say crashed and burned.
Pure And Simple became the fastest-selling debut single of all time in the UK, shifting 550,000 copies in a week following the band’s victory on the ITV talent show Popstars in 2001.
I felt like I was standing on the shoulders of giants. I had a message to deliver and I had to deliver the voices that never got heard.

But 18 months later, they called it a day when they were deserted by their management team and public interest nosedived.
On how the group — which also featured Kym Marsh, Suzanne Shaw, Noel Sullivan and Danny Foster — ended, Myleene said: “It fizzled. It was left to die. And I turned the lights out.
“It was heartbreaking because at the time I didn’t want it to end. We took a vote . . . and the vote was yes.
“I remember walking into a meeting where one guy said, ‘We’ve got 250,000 Easter eggs with your faces on them, what are we going to do?’. And I was like, ‘I don’t know!’. It was almost comical.”
But with the 25th anniversary of their Popstars win and No1 hit fast approaching, Myleene isn’t ruling out a return, despite previously saying no to the offer of a tour for their 20th anniversary.
‘Powerful message’
She teased: “I keep on saying, ‘Never say never’, because you never know now. If I say no, then this will be played out across the arena.”
As well as her work in music, TV and radio, Myleene has become a fervent campaigner raising awareness of miscarriage, and helping to change government policy to support women who lose a baby while pregnant.
Earlier this month, she received an MBE for her work on women’s health and has now revealed she spoke to King Charles about it.
Asked about her most memorable conversation, she said: “The one most recently is the one with the King for miscarriage, because I think there’s so many people who search for the glory and this one was bigger than me.
“I felt like I was standing on the shoulders of giants.
“I had a message to deliver and I had to deliver the voices that never got heard.
’
“That’s a very, very powerful message that needs to be heard and hasn’t been heard once yet in front of a living monarch.
“That’s like dominos — it’s kick-started something.”
