It comes just days after Mylenne celebrated her MBE honour on Wednesday, before throwing a lavish royal-themed party where she was joined by family and celeb pals

‘The cause of the fire is currently unknown and an investigation has already started.’ 

Meanwhile, police added: ‘Police were called to Orde Avenue, Gorleston to assist the fire service at 1.20pm today, with a fire at a school.

‘Kennedy Avenue and Bridge Road were closed whilst emergency services attended the scene.

‘No one was injured.’

It comes just days after Myleene was honoured with an MBE for her services to women’s health, miscarriage awareness and charity at an investiture ceremony on Wednesday.

Myleene then shared a clip on Instagram showing the highlights from the afterparty – although the number one star appeared to be her son Apollo, five, who supported her throughout the event. 

The star couldn’t look prouder of her achievement, as she was captured partying it all up with pals, including the likes of Christine Lampard, Nicole and Natalie Appleton.

A stunning two-tier cake was made with a crown on top, while royal-themed photo props were spread about the room as Myleene recorded herself having fun.
