Former Big Brother housemate Chanelle Hayes (the one we keep getting mixed up with Chantelle Houghton*) is up the duff, knocked up, expecting her first child. And no, it’s not the immaculate conception (which we keep getting mixed up with Madonna’s greatest hits CD),the babydaddy is her boyfriend, footballer Matthew Bates.

23 year old Hayes, who had a televised romance with fellow BB8 housemate Ziggy, has recently had her 12 week scan and is said to be delighted at the news.

News of her pregnancy comes in the wake of Chanelle being hospitalised after an apparent suicide attempt which followed a row between her and Bates. Chanelle’s unsettled past has been well-documented in the press, and we hope her pregnancy marks the beginning of some happier times for her.

* Chantelle Hougton is the daft one from Celebrity Big Brother who got married – and then un-married – to Preston from the Ordinary Boys. Chanelle Hayes is the slightly-scary Posh Spice wannabe who hooked up with Ziggy inside the house until their relationship imploded. Ziggy, sadly, was never seen again.

** Incidentally, Channelle 4 is the TV channel that inflicted both of these two on an unsuspecting and unprepared public.
