Myleene Klass was
hurt enough when
her husband Graham
Quinn dumped her on
her birthday. But last
week, it emerged that
she was dealt another
blow after discovering
he was secretly plotting
to leave her for weeks.
After shockingly calling
it quits with the former
Hear’Say singer, 34, on
April 6, it’s been revealed
that Graham, 38, moved
into a new bachelor pad
just days later – a sign he
had been planning to leave
his wife for some time.
“Five days after Graham
moved out, she was told
by a mutual friend that he
had bought a new flat in
London,” a source revealed
last week. “It was the
final sucker punch. She
feels totally betrayed.
“How can someone
house-hunt, put in an
offer, exchange contracts
and move all in the space
of five days? He must have
been planning this for
weeks, if not months.”
Now the heartbroken
single mum is said to be
selling the £3.2million
dream family home she
shared with Graham and
their daughters, Ava, four,
and Hero,
14 months,
because it is
“too painful”
to carry on
living there.

Myleene is devastated
after Graham (inset)
walked out on their
six-month marriage
“It is perfect for the
children but contains too
many painful memories,”
added our insider. “She
has to move out and is
staying with friends at
the moment.”
Adding insult to injury,
it has emerged that Myleene
may well have been
overseas with her
daughters when Graham
– who has not updated
his Twitter page since
April 8 – dumped her.
On April 4, two
days before he left,
Myleene tweeted, “In
two days, London to
Marrakech to Casablanca
and now Egypt. My
girls are keeping up
the pace, I want to vomit
with the tiredness.”
Worryingly, Myleene
is said to have “lost her
appetite” and dropped
a stone in weight with
the stress, making her
now below her weight
in April, which she said
was 8¾ stone.
“Myleene has endured
two months of hell and
does not deserve this,”
one insider revealed. “Her
friends are angry with
[Graham], especially as
she’s been left holding
the babies.”
Graham’s sister Lisa
Duffy, wife of former
Boyzone singer and
ex-Coronation Street
actor Keith
Duffy, is
said to be
particularly
devastated
that their
marriage is over.
“She is very
upset about the
whole thing,” a friend of
Lisa’s claimed. “It’s painful.”
While the reason for the
split hasn’t been confirmed,
Myleene hinted in an
interview she gave before
marrying Graham last
October that becoming
parents had put a massive
strain on their relationship.
“I love the girls and
having children, but Gray
said he felt like an unpaid
runner first time round,”
she revealed in a
previously unpublished
interview. “I’d be like,
‘Listen, enough of that,
go and get me some
muslins and help me.”
The musician also said
that Graham was not a fan
of their daughters sleeping
in their marital bed,
adding, “I’m sure Graham’s
going to contemplate
moving out into the shed.”
While Myleene and
Graham cannot file for
divorce until a year after
they wed, Myleene could
stand to lose a sizeable
chunk of her estimated
£11million fortune once
they do start proceedings.
“If she does not have
a pre-nup, everything is
up for grabs,” celebrity
divorce lawyer Deborah
Jeff told new!. “The time
they lived together before
they married is added to
the length of the marriage,
so it’s technically an
11-year marriage, meaning
he’ll be likely to take a
substantial settlement
upwards of £1million,
probably around £2million.”
