Chantelle granted quickie divorce on grounds of Preston's 'unreasonable behaviour' The fairytale reality show marriage between Celebrity Big Brother star Chantelle Houghton and Preston ended today.
Chantelle was granted a quickie divorce from her musician husband on the grounds of his 'unreasonable behaviour', according to court documents obtained by the Daily Mail.
Former Paris Hilton lookalike Chantelle Houghton, 24, applied for a decree nisi to end their marriage of just ten months.
The documents revealed that Preston, real name Samuel Dylan Murray Preston, offered no objection to to the grounds of the divorce petition, which he signed last month.
Therefore, a decree absolute will be issued in six weeks.
Chantelle, who met Preston when she entered the Celebrity Big Brother house in January 2006 as a non-celebrity, listed her profession as an 'entertainer' on the document.
And unusually, the pair are expected to be split their assets 50-50 despite her earnings being significantly higher than his, according to reports.
After meeting and falling in love on the show, despite Preston's engagement to ex-fiance Camille Aznar, they quickly announced their engagement in April 2006 and tied the knot last August in a lavish ceremony covered by a celebrity magazine.
They broke up only 10 months after they married, with critics claiming the whirlwind romance was merely a publicity stunt, with the previously unknown Chantelle becoming a household name over night.
Essex-born Chantelle revealed that moving away from her family to live in Brighton following her fairytale marriage last August, was the main factor that led to the premature breakdown of her relationship.
She said: "I found living in Brighton very hard...I had no family, no friends and it was a really hard time for me."
Chantelle said at the time it was a mutual decision: "We both said, we can't do this any more, we can't go on hurting each other like this."
The Ordinary Boys singer Preston, 25, has since rekindled his romance with Camille Aznar, 26 — whom he dumped for Chantelle.
