Claims are circulating that Chantelle Houghton and her ex-husband Preston planned a fake romance in order to cash in following their stint on Ultimate Big Brother.

The pair, who divorced in 2007, are alleged to have engineered a plan to pretend they were getting back together to make money out of the story, Heat magazine reports.

A source allegedly told the celebrity magazine: “They spoke on the phone several times before they went back in. They discussed how much they would be paid, and when Chantelle found out Preston was getting £40,000 she went back to the Channel 4 producers and demanded the same." The insider added: "They knew that they were a valuable commodity as a pair, much more than individually."

The magazine also suggests that the duo later signed a contract worth £120,000 to “sell their story” together as a “couple” after leaving Ultimate Big Brother.

What a pair of saddoes .....

Tell me what we didn't know already. They are both a pair of dullards. Pete Bennett should have gone into UBB instead of them two.

No, he shouldn't - he's a dullard, too - a one-trick pony who can't hold a conversation and who won't express an opinion .....

He is better than Chantelle and Preston put together though.

I loved Nikki and Pete together. Big characters in their own right but adorable together too! There was more "chemistry" when they saw each other for 2 minutes than 3 whole weeks of Chantelle and Preston being together..

Chantelle deserved her place in UBB but Preston really didnt. I can't remember one thing he did. THey would've been better putting Pete Burns back in, he said he would've done it

OH MY GOD!...I would never have guessed!

The two Pete's, (Bennet and Burns) would have been exponentially more watchable and entertaining than those two professional-showmancers!!
