Preston has walked off a recording of the comedy show ‘Never Mind The Buzzcocks’ because jokes were made about his wife.

Preston first met his wife, Chantelle Houghton, on Celebrity Big Brother last January, and the pair enjoyed a whirlwind romance before getting married in the summer.

The shows host read aloud from Chantelle autobiography saying:

“I’ve always loved M&S but it has always been too expensive for me,” she wrote.

“The photo shoot made me feel very posh and upmarket.”

Preston angrily pulled off his mike and walked off the set.

A spokesman for the BBC2 show said that Simon’s jokes are in good spirit and not meant to offend anyone.

“It’s a shame Preston felt he had to leave,” he added. “Simon loves to banter with guests.”
