Myleene Klass has hit back at social media trolls who sent her vile private messages, including one who told her to 'get cancer or Alzheimer's'. The 47-year-old former Hear'Say singer and mother of three shared a screenshot of the abusive direct message on Instagram, tagging the user responsible.
The disturbing message read: 'I hope you get cancer and die young or Alzheimer's.' Typing over the screenshot, Myleene wrote: 'Seriously, why do I keep getting trolled by people's grannies atm? Keep your nanas off social media!'
Fans rushed to her defence, with one commenting: '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 Myleene has called out online abuse. She previously rallied mothers to normalise breastfeeding after being criticised for nursing her son Apollo in public. She shared photos of herself breastfeeding and wrote: 'Boobs were designed to feed... How funny that some fat, cells and glands could so deeply offend so many.'
Myleene, who was awarded an MBE in the 2025 New Year Honours for her work in women's health and miscarriage awareness, is mother to daughters Ava, 18, and Hero, 14, with ex-husband Graham Quinn, and son Apollo, five, with PR expert Simon Motso.
