Chantelle Houghton: Preston and I didn’t make love for 6 months

Big Brother couple set to divorce after disastrous marriage

Chantelle Houghton has lifted the lid on her unhappy marriage with Ordinary Boys singer Preston – and says they didn’t make love for 6 months before they split.

The couple – who met on Celebrity Big Brother – rushed into marriage just months after getting together.

‘We just irritated each other and constantly rowed,’ she admits to the News Of The World.

‘I was drunk most nights. I’d drink a bottle of wine, sometimes two, because I was so unhappy. I didn’t want to kill myself but some days I didn’t want to be alive.’

And the 24-year-old says things went from bad to worse – and they ended up sleeping in different rooms.

‘I was desperate to save our marriage,’ she says. ‘But for the last 6 months we didn’t make love once.

‘I didn’t find Preston attractive any more. In the end I moved into the spare room and slept alone.’

But now the dippy blonde is looking to the future – and is said to have made a million since appearing on the reality TV show.

‘Maybe I am a bit of a blonde bimbo,’ she says, ‘but I love it. Single blondes really do have more fun!’
