Myleene Klass has hit back at social media trolls who sent her vile messages, including one who told her to 'get cancer or Alzheimer's'. The 47-year-old former Hear'Say singer shared a screenshot of the disturbing direct message she received, which read: 'I hope you get cancer and die young or Alzheimer's.'
Tagging the user in question, Klass wrote: 'Seriously, why do I keep getting trolled by people's grannies atm? Keep your nanas off social media!' The mother of three, who was awarded an MBE in the 2025 New Year Honours for her work in women's health and miscarriage awareness, has been subjected to abuse from older users she described as 'nanas'.
Fans quickly jumped to her defence, with one writing: 'What is wrong with you to tell Myleene Klass you hope she dies of cancer at a young age or gets Alzheimer's???? You need to apologise to her and I strongly suggest you delete all social media and get some professional help.' Another added: 'Unlike you, I was taught to not be a nasty bully so I won't wish ill upon you. But maybe take a long look at yourself in the mirror, send an apology & go do a good deed to redeem yourself.'
This is not the first time Klass has been forced to call out trolls. Previously, when breastfeeding her son Apollo, she rallied other mothers to normalise breastfeeding in public. She shared photos of herself breastfeeding and wrote: 'Uh oh. Some of us mums are being chastised for "pumping". No one bats an eyelid prepping their own breakfast, why choose to get flustered over my baby having his? Boobs were designed to feed...'
Klass, who has daughters Ava, 18, and Hero, 14, with ex-husband Graham Quinn, and son Apollo, five, with PR expert Simon Motso, urged other women to share their breastfeeding stories. She said: 'The cracked nipples, feeding through mastitis, engorgement, bleeding, blocked milk ducts... these mums deserve support and respect, not critique.'
