Preston: Chantelle Houghton asked me if I was gay

Singer says he's just a little bit camp

Chantelle Houghton and Preston were married for ten months

The Ordinary Boys' former frontman Preston has finally broken his silence over his marriage to Chantelle Houghton.

The couple wed after meeting on Celebrity Big Brother in 2006 - but split the following year.

‘I remember thinking, "I don’t think I’ll ever get bored of her cute little things,”’ reveals Preston.

‘It hadn’t occurred to me that she’d get absolutely infuriated by mine.

'She’d be like, “Why do you have to overthink everything? Why are you acting like that? You must be gay. Are you gay?”

'And I’d be like, “No, I’m really not gay. I’m slightly camp. It’s different.”'

Despite Chantelle's claims he'd ruined her confidence, Preston insists he didn't mean to hurt her.

‘I was madly in love with her,’ Preston  tells The Observer. ‘The thing about that girl is that she has this huge natural beauty. But she covers it up so much.

'She uses the same tricks that ugly girls use, like tanning yourself orange and bleaching your hair.’
