The Loose Women panelist said she walked in on the former Hear’Say bodyguard and the female star as they were taking each other’s clothes off on the balcony of her own home at her own birthday party.
However, Myleene refused to name the celebrity, saying only that she has built a career off a “family brand”.
Myleene who had started going out with Quinn in 2001 announced their split in 2013 having been together for 12 years.

The mother-of-two told Paul Brunson’s We Need To Talk podcast how she walked in on him “with a famous person on my birthday on a balcony”.
“I’m in my house, it’s my party,” she recalled. “They weren’t having sex, but they were unzipping each other.
According to the TV presenter, the pair tried to claim that it wasn’t what it looked like, “but I’m like, ‘It is what I think’.”
She said she kicked everyone out of the party, “including his mum and dad” but before they went back to Ireland, “his dad said, ‘he doesn’t get it from me’.
“I remember thinking that was quite a weird thing to say,” she added.
Even though she recognised the incident as a “pretty big red flag” she still went through with their wedding in October 2011 although she previously revealed how she was “sobbing in the bath” the night before.
Referring to the other woman, Myleene said she had made peace with the situation, “but for a long time, it was very difficult to see their life”.

“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.”
Myleene previously spoke on Loose Women how she had been on the receiving end of someone “who cheated on me”.
“I was extremely disturbed as was my family as was the ripple effect of people who have to live with those actions,” she said.
“Put it this way, one of the people that he cheated on me with asked to have a photo with me and I refused.
“One of the people that he had an affair with or a relationship with just said ‘Can I have a photo with you?’
“I said: ‘No. I do not agree with what you stand for’.
“I don’t agree with women or men having their lives turned upside down with lies and deceit because you didn’t think it was that big of a crime.
‘You’re messing with people’s emotions and their lives. They have permanent repercussions.”
Back in 2019 Myleene detailed how she developed a dependence on alcohol during her divorce in 2013.
Speaking to Kate Thornton and Tamzin Outhwaite on Yahoo’s White Wine Question Time podcast, she admitted her drinking would start before 11am.
“I remember waking up and thinking it’s ok to have a drink at 11am, because I hadn’t had a drink in five hours.”
She also opened up about the devastating impact the break-up had on her mental health.
The star, who is now happily in a relationship with Simon Motson, said: “I was doing breakfast TV and I went to get out the car and I thought, ‘I can’t’… I was right in the middle of the divorce.
“And I opened the door, and I couldn’t get out the car. I couldn’t breathe. Finances were spiralling because I thought, ‘I’m going to lose everything’.”
Myleene is now engaged to Simon, who she met four and a half years after her divorce.
On Valentine’s Day, 2019, the television presenter revealed that she was pregnant with her third child – her first with Simon – and gave birth to baby boy Apollo on August 1.
