WEDDING SHELLS FOR CHANTELLE

Will BB star marry on Love Island?

CHANTELLE is set to wed PRESTON this summer - on a tropical beach.

And the marriage could even be the star attraction of ITV's next Celebrity Love Island in June.

An ITV insider admitted they would do anything to get the Celebrity Big Brother winner, 22, on the show - even if it meant paying for her dream of a beach ceremony.

Bosses have already offered her £150,000 to sign up as a contestant in Fiji.

And a source said: "We're prepared to do all we can. We've even thought about getting Preston too, so a real-life couple are pitted against other horny celebs."

Chantelle and the Ordinary Boys singer - spotted in a bridal shop in Brighton yesterday - announced their engagement last week and insisted they'd be hitched "in a few months".

Chantelle also revealed Preston, 26, had given her his mum's wedding ring. She said: "I had no idea - and now I've had a stupid grin on my face all day,"

ITV are desperate to get the bubbly blonde in a bid to beat Channel 4, which launches Big Brother 7 just before Love Island begins.

Meanwhile Chantelle's agent is negotiating with OK magazine on its wedding coverage - and he's asking for more than JORDAN got.

She and PETER ANDRE were paid £1 million for their wedding and Junior's birth. An insider said: "Chantelle thinks it's funny they are in the same ball park."
