Myleene's fiance wants couple to settle in Ireland

MUM'S THE WORD: Myleene Klass shares parenting tips with expecting media personality Marisa Mackle
Friday October 24 2008
Stunning TV star Myleene Klass could become a permanent fixture on these shores -- if her Irish fiance has anything to do with it.
The presenter and former pop star has revealed how her other half Graham Quinn is hell bent on forsaking the UK for his home soil.
"I think eventually, we could well move over here. I know that Gray (Graham) would love to live in the country. He's had enough of the city life. He'd love to move back. The only problem is, I can't cook so I don't know how I'd get on as some kind of farmer's wife," she laughed.
And although the former Westlife bouncer got down on bended knee and popped the question more than a year ago, the celebrity couple have yet to set a wedding date.
It seems that Myleene's whirlwind schedule as a TV presenter and now fashion designer just hasn't given her any time to sit down and plan her nuptials.
But Myleene, who co-presents Miss Naked Beauty with fashion guru Gok Wan, insists that her dream wedding would be to hire out an Irish castle and have a big party.
Asked when her big day will be, she replied: "We're working on it! I know, we really need to sort that out -- we're being very naughty.
Range
"I'd love to have it in Ireland, everyone loves a good wedding here -- but I want someone just to organise the whole thing and I'd just turn up. I've got to the point here where, nine years down the line, we really need to sort this out. Next year we'll be together 10 years so it's really time to set a date."
The brunette beauty jetted into Dublin this week to launch her new fashion range for tots, Baby K, with a party in the Dylan Hotel last night.
She brought over her baby daughter, Ava, for the occasion, who was being looked after by her Irish grandparents for the evening as her famous mum posed for the cameras.
No stranger to these shores, she explained that she and Dublin-born Graham are back and forth all the time visiting his relatives.
"It's lovely to be back in Ireland because obviously this is Ava dad's home and it feels like a second home to me," she continued. "I'm sure everyone says that but I love it here, everyone's very kind to me and very warm, it's lovely."
And she explained that she decided to turn her hand to designing her first range for babies after becoming a first-time mum herself.
"The reason I came up with the idea is that although I do work in fashion, I kind of got into it in a completely different way," she explained. "Obviously I'm not a model but yet I have the opportunity to model and I work in fashion programmes but again, I'm not necessarily a stylist. So by having a more rounded overview of the fashion world, it has given me the opportunity as a mum to design for other mums."
