“OHHH my God...I’m marrying Preston!” That’s the headline on the cover of the Sun, and we could not be more delighted.
An engaged smile
All that remains is for us to reveal whom Chantelle will be tying the knot with. Of course, you already guessed that the happy groom is Preston.

“I’m over the moon,” says Chantelle. “It’s what I’ve wanted for the last few months.”

Indeed, it is what we have all of us wanted. And apart from Russell Grant, who looked at the couple’s stars and urged caution, the world can rejoice as one.

The story goes that Preston proposed to Chantelle on Monday night in Brighton. She accepted. And Preston slid a diamond ring onto her finger.

“She’s having trouble keeping quiet about it and hasn’t stopped smiling,” says a source in the Mirror. “Now she can’t wait to start planning a wedding fit for a princess.”

But while Chantelle makes all the necessary preparations in one phone call to OK!’s legion of fairytale wedding planners, the Sun reminds us that this is the second time Preston has been engaged in three months.

After his fourth-placed finish on Celebrity Big Brother, the Ordinary Boys singer popped the question to his then lover Camille Aznar.

Within days of that happy moment, the couple had called things off. Chantelle would be well advised not to do anything rash just yet. And, as the Star reports, Big Brother marriages do not always work.

The only pair to have met on the TV show and then married are no more. Six months after the birth of their baby Max, Lee Davy and Sophie Pritchard – who starred in Big Brother 3, the show that gave Jade Goody to the world - have gone their separate ways.

This is less than heartening news. But if any lovers can make it work, surely Chantelle and Preston can. We wish them every success – and a photospread to remember...
