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.

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.”
