Myleene Klass reveals spiking horror after her drink was drugged in a club

Pop star-turned TV host Mylene Klass has revealed how she couldn’t get out of bed after her drink was spiked in a nightclub.

Mylene, 44, said she felt ill suddenly as a result of the incident, which occurred in a club in the 2000’s during her Hear’Say days.

Writing in her new life-skills book ‘They Don’t Teach This At School’ the mother-of-three said she was grateful she wasn’t alone.

“I know exactly how scary it can be as it happened to me when I was in the band,” she explained.

“We were in a club and I recall a friend holding out his hand asking if I was going to be sick. That was pretty much my last memory.

“Thankfully I was with friends who looked after me. One of the girls took me back and put me to bed.”

Mylene, who instantly shot to fame as a 23-year old with the likes of Kym Marsh and Suzanne Shaw in the Popstars reality show band, added: “I remember her leaving and seeing the door was open.”

“I couldn’t even get out of bed to close it. It took a full 24 hours to recover.”

The star has recently discussed the dangers of spiking with her eldest child – 14-year old Ava.

“This can happen to grown-up, streetwise women just as ­easily as it can to young, less worldly-wise girls,” she said.

“You have to give yourself the best chance.”

The star’s tips for her daughter include taking her drink with her to the ladies’ room, never accepting a drink off a stranger or leaving one unattended.

Former Love Island star Sharon Gaffka, meanwhile, has also has shared her horror story of being spiked during a daytime lunch with her friends.

The 26-year-old reality TV star said she ended up in hospital after she fell unconscious in the restaurant bathrooms after her drink was spiked.

Sharon was left completely shaken by the ordeal and has finally decided to share her story in a bid to raise awareness and to share solidarity with other women who have gone through the harrowing experience.

Lifting the lid on her terrifying experience, Sharon explained that she held back on telling people for a long time because she felt ‘ashamed’ it had happened to her.

“I was so ashamed about what happened to me that I never intended to speak about it. There is so much victim shaming and I didn’t want other people to judge me. But I have this platform now where around 90 per cent of my following is young women, and last year there were stories coming out about spikings by injection,” Sharon explained.

“I thought if I could normalise sharing our stories, more women might feel empowered to come forward and then we could actually challenge the perpetrators.”
