MYLEENE Klass’s ex husband has hit back at the popstar and broadcaster and claimed he’s been banned from seeing his kids.
It comes after the Hear’say hitmaker, 47, candidly opened up on her former husband Graham Quinn’s alleged “cheating” with a fellow celebrity.

During a recent episode of Paul Carrick Brunson’s We Need To Talk podcast, Myleene told how she walked in on her then partner, 51, and another woman unzipping each other’s clothes at her birthday party.
The Pure and Simple hitmaker — 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.”
Now Graham, with whom she shares two daughters, has clapped back.
Pals of the music manager have suggested she is a “vindictive bully.”
A source told MailOnline: “He thinks she’s a bully.
“They believe it was especially ‘vindictive and calculated’ of Myleene to launch the bombshell broadside on what she would have known was the week of Graham’s 51st birthday.”
PARENTING CLASH
As the cheat claims swirl, Graham’s past comments about his parenting with MBE winner Myleene – who scooped her accolade services to women’s health – have resurfaced.
In lines contained in a historic chat with Fathers4Justice, which have only recently resurfaced, the security manager said Myleene had “actively denied” him access to his two kids.
He suggested he was “banging his head against a brick wall” in his attempts for access.
In the piece Graham, who is based in Ibiza, wrote: “I haven’t seen my kids in years.

“The only exception is when Myleene begrudgingly met me in a car park off the North Circular Road in 2014.
“She lowered the window about three inches and I could see the girls in the back. That was it.
“I’ve thrown so much more money at it [trying to see his daughters] and I can’t afford much more.
“I’ve spent £20,000 and am probably further away from them now than I’ve ever been.
“It’s like banging my head against a brick wall.
“I’ve missed so many birthdays and Christmas days. I’ll never get that back.”
Graham, who married Myleene in 2011 and was with the star until their split in 2013, also opened up on the impact on his mental health.
He told how he was depressed “for years” and sought counselling daily.
In his piece, he added: “I’ve tried to get Myleene to see the light, but she’s not interested.
“She knows how much I love those girls and that it’s destroying me, but she doesn’t care – she’s got them all to herself and loves it.
“I don’t even know where they live any more. I can’t see them and I can’t speak to them on the phone. I’m blocked on Twitter and Instagram, so can’t see photos of them.”
Myleene’s rep had no comment when approached.
CHEAT CLAIMS
Graham and Myleene met when he worked as a security guard for Myleene’s pop group.
They had what was described as a “private, intimate” wedding in Norwich where just 16 family and friends were invited.
In the recent podcast, Myleene recently opened up on the infidelity claims.
She explained of Graham and the unnamed famous face: “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.”
Myleene admitted she struggled to see the woman 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.”
Myleene went on to marry Quinn, but they split not long after the wedding.
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.”
‘NO LONGER SCARED’
Myleene admitted she’s “no longer scared” to be disliked after becoming a resilient woman over years of being knocked down.
“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,” she said.
“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, from Norfolk, no one expected much (my school report proves this).
“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.”
