Myleene Klass says she ‘doesn't care if people don't like her' after bombshell claim ex cheated on her with a celeb
MYLEENE Klass admitted she "doesn't care if people don't like her" after she revealed her ex cheated with another celebrity. Earlier this week, the Loose Women star, 47, said she walked in on her then partner Graham Quinn and another famous woman unzipping each other's clothes at HER birthday party. 5 5 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." Following the bombshell claim, speculation over the mystery woman has spread like wild fire across social media. And now Myleene has insisted that she has no regrets in her honest interview with the We Need to Talk podcast. Myleene shared her manager's reaction to her podcast appearance, saying: '"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. "'Errrrr s*** Leens, I didn't think you were going to be THAT honest'.. My manager AFTER We Need to Talk podcast." Myleene said podcast host Paul was able to "see into her soul", allowing her to reveal most intimate details of her life over their five hour recording session. The singer continued: "I flew back from abroad to do this podcast. I'd heard a lot about Paul C. Brunson and had seen the We Need To Talk headlines. "As I've gotten older, more comfortable with being vulnerable, I'm drawn to things that stretch and challenge me. "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. "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." 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." 'Utterly devastated' Myleene recalled the moment she caught her ex allegedly cheating on her and what happened in the aftermath. 'I kicked everybody out of the party, including his mum and dad. They went back to Ireland," she said. '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.' 5 5

Parents who named their daughter ‘Kelce Taylor' get trolled but insist it has nothing to do with Taylor Swift & Travis
CHOOSING the perfect name for your little one isn't always easy, and it's common for parents to draw inspiration from their favourite musicians, athletes and celebs. But one couple have defended naming their newborn daughter after Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift despite "super negative" claims they did it for attention. 3 3 Haley Richardson, 26, a stay-at-home mom, and Robert Dillon, 34, a delivery driver, welcomed Kelce Taylor-Grace on July 24 at The University of Kansas Health System's Liberty Hospital, weighing 7lbs 7oz. Haley and Robert from Richmond, Missouri, say the name honors family traditions and reflects admiration for Kelce and Swift's character - not their celebrity. But online haters have hit out at the couple after the name was shared online by Liberty Hospital subjecting the family to unexpected scrutiny and accusations they named their child purely for attention or to receive gifts from the famous couple. But the couple insist they never sought fame or gifts, and just wanted to share a joyful moment in their lives. "With her name going viral, some people are just super negative, saying we did this for attention," Robert said. "But in the original post that Liberty Hospital shared, our names weren't in it, our faces weren't in it. He added: "It was simply about her and her name, almost like just a birth announcement." The engaged couple emphasized they never sought material gain from their naming choice. "We haven't received a thing, we haven't asked for a thing, we don't want anything," Robert said. "Our goal wasn't to get possessions. It was just to share a moment in our lives that we thought people would think was cool." Mo Gilligan's Secret Son Revealed – New Baby on the Way Haley added: "People keep saying she's named after the couple, and while she may have the couple's names, that wasn't ever the intention. "Kelce Taylor flows well and is really pretty as a name in general." Robert's two sons from a previous relationship -10 and 6 - both also have five-letter names starting with K. Additionally, Haley incorporated her middle name, Grace, into her daughter's hyphenated middle name. "We're not super fans of Travis and Taylor as a couple," Haley said. "We are huge fans of them as individuals because of the work they do in the community and the philanthropic work that makes them genuinely good human beings." The couple hopes their daughter will embody these same qualities of generosity and kindness. "I just want her to be kind, show compassion, have empathy for people, and know that every time she goes somewhere, try and leave that place better when she leaves than when she walked through the door," Robert added. Despite a challenging pregnancy which included gestational diabetes and preeclampsia, Haley describes Kelce as "a really super sweet, easy baby" who is "pretty chill". The new parents are looking forward to raising their daughter in the Kansas City area. As for the rumors that Kelce and Swift have reached out or sent gifts to the family, Robert dismissed them. "There's a bunch of fake news articles out there saying they've sent us gifts. We haven't heard from them, nor have we received anything," he said. Haley hopes her daughter will learn an important lesson from her namesakes. "Taylor and Travis don't do their philanthropic work or charity work to get attention. They do it because it's what they want to do," she said. "I want her to know that not everything good that you do has to be announced to the world, and you can do things in the quiet without expecting anything in return." The struggle of choosing a baby name CHLOE Morgan, a Senior Writer at Fabulous, has revealed her dilemma on choosing a baby name... At 35 weeks pregnant, by far the trickiest part of pregnancy for me in the past few months (minus the insomnia and countless night-time wee breaks!) has been trying to decide on a baby name. The dilemmas are endless... My partner and I went for a private scan to find out the gender as early as we could - partly due to the fact we thought it would make baby naming so much easier because we'd only have to come up with a list of names for one gender rather than two. How wrong we were... I was absolutely thrilled to be told I was expecting the baby girl I'd already dreamed of, but being one of the last of my friends to fall pregnant, I've had countless conversations over the years with excited pals discussing their top baby which I wish I could go back in time and un-hear. With each friend mentioning at least 10 possible monikers, I can't help but feel like several are now a no-go even though I know it's something that none of them would mind in the slightest - it's a total me problem! The debate comes up time and time again on social media forums - can you choose the same name that was a "potential" for a friend's baby? It's a very divisive topic and opinions are always I don't want to be THAT person. While some will argue there's thousands of other names out there to choose from, others will say you need to choose YOUR all, there's no guarantee that person will even have another baby. Then there's also the issue of finding a name you to research it online and read one negative comment amongst hundreds of positives that you just can't shake off. I made that very mistake when I fell in love with a certain name (I won't reveal it because I don't want to ruin it for others!) ...only to see someone point out that it constantly gets autocorrected on a phone to something rather rude instead. So, back to the drawing board we went.. Just five weeks to go and it looks like our little one is going to be known as 'baby gal' for a little while longer!

Dr Chris Brown confirms relationship rumours with glamorous TV publicist - and shares details about new romance
Dr has confirmed his relationship with former Channel 10 publicist Lorraine Monforte. Reports emerged of their romance earlier this year, with the pair keeping their dating life so private it was considered an 'open secret' in the industry. But the celebrity vet, 46, confirmed their relationship on Friday when he appeared on Nova FM 's Fitzy & Wippa with Kate Ritchie. 'You have a girlfriend Dr Chris Brown... Is her name Lorraine?' host Michael 'Wippa' Wipfli asked. 'Yes, her name is Lorraine,' the Channel Seven star responded. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Wippa continued to push for details about their relationship, but Dr Chris made sure he shared very little about his 41-year-old love. 'How long has it been?' Wippa asked, to which Dr Chris vaguely responded: 'You know, time is irrelevant in love. It just drifts.' 'Are you happy?' co-host Ryan 'Fitzy' Fitzgerald asked. 'I'm very happy. Thank you,' Dr Chris said. Wippa then joked: 'I don't want to go into details, but where was the first kiss? On the lips? In a park?' 'Wherever it was, I try to look half as good as you do right now,' Dr Chris hit back, sending the studio into fits of laughter. While the media personality kept mum on some of the more intimate details about his romance with Lorraine, he did reveal she has met his family. He also said Lorraine, who he met on the set of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! when he worked for Channel Ten, has the 'thumbs up' from his father Graham. Daily Mail understands the couple divide their time between Brisbane and Bondi, where Chris lives and made a name for himself as a vet. 'They are very happy together,' a source previously said. Lorraine, who was recently let go by Channel Ten amid a wave of redundancies, revealed this week she would soon be making a trip to Sydney. It's unclear when Dr Chris and Lorraine became a couple, but the veterinarian has always kept his romantic life under wraps, wary that publicity might jinx things. What we do know is that Lorraine is a mother to a 10-year-old son and at least one other child, though she keeps her family out of the public eye. She once used the double-barrelled Monforte-Guy, which suggests she was married at one point but has since divorced. There are whispers Dr Chris and Lorraine will walk the red carpet together at the Logie Awards in Sydney on Sunday.
