Classical musician and television presenter Myleene Klass has publicly exposed a deeply disturbing message from an online troll who told her they hoped she would 'get cancer and die young'.
A Disturbing Message from a 'Granny'
The 47-year-old star shared a screenshot of the abusive comment on her social media, revealing the shocking extent of the hate she receives. The message, which she highlighted came from an account purporting to be a grandmother, read: "I hope you get cancer and die young or Alzheimer's."
Klass directly tagged the Instagram user involved and captioned the post with a mixture of disbelief and exasperation. "Seriously, why do I keep getting trolled by people's grannies atm?" she wrote, adding, "Keep your nanas off social media!"
Fans Rally in Defence of the Star
Followers and fans were swift to condemn the troll's actions and offer their support to Myleene. One outraged supporter responded, questioning the mentality behind such a cruel attack. "What is wrong with you to tell Myleene Klass you hope she dies of cancer at a young age or gets Alzheimer's?" they wrote, urging the individual to apologise, delete their social media, and seek professional help.
Another comment took a more measured but equally firm tone, stating: "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 and go do a good deed to redeem yourself. You are more than old enough to know better and quite frankly should be ashamed of yourself."
A Career of Achievement and Advocacy
Myleene Klass first found fame as a member of the pop group Hear'Say. She has since built a diverse career as a radio presenter and a familiar face on ITV's I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!, which she won in the 2023 All-Stars series.
Her work extends far beyond entertainment. In the 2025 New Year Honours, King Charles awarded Myleene Klass an MBE for her significant advocacy and charitable work, particularly in the areas of miscarriage awareness and women's health. This context makes the vile nature of the trolling she faces all the more jarring, targeting a figure recognised for her positive contributions to society.
The incident highlights the persistent and ugly reality of social media abuse faced by public figures, regardless of their standing or achievements.
