Preston storms off Never Mind The Buzzcocks

Ordinary Boys frontman flips when host mocked Chantelle

Preston stormed off the set of Never Mind The Buzzcocks after the quiz's host made quips about his wife.

The singer, 24, became the first person to walk off the BBC2 show in 10 years.

He flipped when Simon Amstell jokingly quoted extracts from Chantelle's book, Living The Dream.

'Simon sarcastically read out where she talks of wearing Marks & Spencer clothes for a photoshoot saying, "I've always loved M&S but it was always too expensive. The photoshoot made me feel very posh and upmarket",' an audience member tells The Sun.

'Preston just stood up, ripped off his mike, and flounced out.'

The Ordinary Boys frontman, who met Essex girl Chantelle, 23, on last year's Celebrity Big Brother, was replaced by a Preston lookalike plucked from the audience at Tuesday's recording.

A show spokesman said: 'It's a shame Preston felt he had to leave. Simon loves to banter with guests - and it's always in good spirit.'
