OMG! CBB's Chantelle Houghton's a millionaire

She's now nearly as rich as Jade Goody

Chantelle Houghton has reportedly become a millionaire.

The 24-year-old made her name on Celeb BB, where she hooked up with ex-hubby Samuel Preston.

Figures from Companies House show Chantelle has earned £925,615 in just a year – making her well on the way to becoming as wealthy as BB's motormouth Jade Goody.

With her other ventures, Chantelle's got a pot of over £1m.

The Cinderella-to-celeb's fortune - which started with £25,000 from CBB - is believed to have come from TV appearances, a fashion magazine column and a £300,000 autobiography deal.

'She's done incredibly well to maximise earnings,' a source tells the Sun. 'I don't think any business analyst would have said she could make so much so quickly with so little business experience.'
