The Daily Mirror has reported that Celebrity Big Brother stars Chantelle and Preston are getting married today!
The newspaper reported:
The happy couple will exchange vows in front of 45 guests at an intimate ceremony at upmarket Dartmouth House in London’s Mayfair
The nuptials will be a lavish affair – the bride’s ivory gown has been designed by Elizabeth Emanuel, who crafted Princess Diana’s wedding dress in 1981.
And afterwards there’s an exotic beach holiday to look forward to.
But the big question on everyone’s lips is: why such a scramble to get down the aisle?
Preston, who fronts indie band the Ordinary Boys insists that marrying Chantelle so soon after meeting “just felt right”.
But their friends are concerned over their haste, and point to the differences between them as ruining the chance of it lasting.
“There’s no doubt they’re devoted to each other – anyone in their company sees them kissing, touching and texting,” says a mutual friend.
“I’m not saying they’re not in love – no one’s cynical about that. The cynicism comes into why they’ve decided to get married so quickly. Some of us think they’re doing it to capitalise on their fame.”
Surely not!

Joining Chantelle will be Shane Richie, Vinnie Jones and Victoria Silvstedt in Carry On London.
Richie said: “Like many people, I grew up with the Carry On movies and was thrilled to be asked to star in the new film.”

Celebrity Big Brother winner Chantelle Houghton has revealed that she is desperate to start a family with her fiance, Ordinary Boys singer Preston.
Chantelle told OK! magazine: “Babies are something I would’ve definitely said no to six months ago, but my mind has been changed so it’s yes now!
“Ours will probably come out with blonde hair extensions and covered in tattoos!”
“There was a photo of me looking a bit pregnant (in a magazine recently) but I’m so not. I’d probably just eaten a big lunch!
“Even my mum called me up going: ‘You’re not are you?’ so I had to convince her I wasn’t, but we laugh about it now. But I’ve read it so many times that I’m beginning to believe it myself!”
But the new celebrity hasn’t forgotten her roots and insists that she only wants friends at her wedding that she has known for at least five years.
She added: “I just want people there who I’ve spoken to in the last five years at least and who are a big part of my life. I absolutely hate weddings where you have to ask people what they’ve been up to – I should already know!
“Since Big Brother I’ve had people saying they’re my best mates, but I think why haven’t they said that to me instead of telling a magazine?”
