We do know that they were offered and turned down quite a lot of money.
As for Max Clifford I don't see what he has to do with them at all.He doesn't represent Chantelle or Preston so why would what he thinks make a difference.
Thanks for the pics ChilledB
just more to suggest that they are a happy normal couple.
We have no way of telling how in love they are that's for them to know.I just made the point that watching them during BB and since on Chantelle's show they appear to be very happy together.Every picture we see they appear happy and very tactile.
I don't see why people can't just accept that there is a posibility that they have genuine feelings for each other.It's very cynical to always think people are in it for the money
phew that was a big post need a lie down now

They went on 'a holiday' that was organised, paid for, documented and photographed by OK magazine for a start, which is tantamount to the same thing.
And how do 'we' know this? Because it was printed in a magazine, or a tabloid, or from some other source that leads directly back to a statement issued by his/her/their agent/s? The only time either of them would've turned (literally) anything down would’ve been if and when they either had a more lucrative offer elsewhere, or had already signed a contract with another party.
Max Clifford
was representing her: "
My job is to stretch her 10 minutes of fame into 15 minutes and beyond. You don't need talent, you don't need ability. So much of it is to do with absolutely nothing. It's not too difficult for Chantelle to be convincing because she looks everyone's idea of a footballer's wife or a kiss-and-tell girl." The Independent, 28.01.06.
Shortly before Houghton entered the Big Brother house, Clifford agreed to act as her spokesman and publicist. He made a number of statements on the former page three girl's behalf, booked her on to TV shows, and was in regular contact with her mother, Vivien. The Independent, 31.01.06.
The fact that she subsequently signed with John Noel after leaving the house changes nothing other than the name of the person concerned - the tactics deployed are otherwise identical.
A picture of him kissing her on the cheek means absolutely nothing at all. He's not altogether stupid (unlike Chantelle), but he's most certainly transparent. It's easy enough to appear convincing in a momentary pose for a photographer, but anyone not wearing rose-tinted spectacles that saw them 'together' on her dire E4 documentary knows otherwise. He was extremely uncomfortable with her, which was obvious in both his body language and conversation. Even in some of the interviews he gave after leaving the house, the journalists concerned picked up on the fact that he was being disingenuous, and said so in those articles.
Cynicism has nothing to do with it, but actually watching and listening to what's really happening rather than pasting a syrupy Mills & Boon plotline over what is essentially a marketing scam is another matter entirely. Sometimes it's wise not to pay too much attention to what the fairies at the bottom of the garden have to say.
