Myleene Klass's Fiancé Fined for Littering in London

Myleene Klass's fiancé, Simon Motson, has been fined for littering after dropping a cigarette in a north London street. The public relations executive was apprehended by council enforcement officers on Pentonville Road in Islington in March.

Motson, 53, was charged with littering under the Environmental Protection Act and pleaded guilty at Highbury Magistrates' Court on Thursday. He was fined £269 and ordered to pay £230 in costs and a £108 victim surcharge. His offer to pay the total penalty of £607 in monthly installments of £51 was accepted by the magistrates.

Motson began dating the singer and television presenter Klass in 2016, and they announced their engagement four years later during the COVID-19 lockdown. He proposed in their garden shed, which he had transformed into a replica of the Little House private members' club where they first met on a blind date.

The couple have a son, Apollo, who is seven years old. Klass also has two daughters from a previous relationship, Hero, 15, and Ava, 19.

Recently, Klass shared her experience of discovering two lumps in her breast while attending Wimbledon in June. She urged women to check themselves, recounting how she found the lumps by chance. After undergoing tests, which revealed three cysts and three lymph nodes, she received a clear bill of health. Klass described the experience as sobering and humbling, noting how it led her to re-evaluate her priorities.
