PRESTON DATES GIRLHE DITCHED FOR CHANTELL

Celebrity Big Brother star Preston has rekindled his romance with the woman he dumped for dippy Chantelle Houghton.

The Ordinary Boys singer has been on a string of dates with ex-fiancee Camille Aznar over the past month - and the French-born beauty has even stayed the night at his Brighton pad.

A source close to the couple revealed last night: "Camille found it hard to forgive Preston for the pain he caused her when they split.

"But they've never lost touch and although it drives Camille mad to admit it, she's always held a torch for her ex."

Preston dated Camille, 26, for a year before dumping her for his BB co-star in January 2006.

He wed Chantelle - best known for her "Oh My God" catchphrase - in August last year after a seven-month romance. But the marriage fell apart last June.

Preston - real name Samuel Preston - and Camille continued to meet as friends while he was still with 24-year-old Chantelle.

Pals say they have since enjoyed several nights out together in London and Brighton - with Preston, 26, begging Camille to give their relationship another go.

The source added: "It's early days and neither of them expects to slot back into the perfect relationship they had before. But they were a great couple and it seems the spark is still there.

"They're taking it one day at a time and seeing how it goes."

Chantelle - battling bulimia in the wake of her split - has been linked with electrician Chris Neal.

Meanwhile, the Sunday Mirror revealed in September Preston has been close to American student "Abbey" after a stint in the US.
