Determined to cheer herself up after her split from Ordinary Boys frontman Preston, Chantelle spent £4,000 on boosting her cleavage from a 32B to a bountiful 32DD.

She showed off her new look in a revealing corset at the opening of a new Ultimo store in - where else - Essex today.

Chantelle had wanted to go under the knife while still married, but Preston forbid her, calling breast implants "absolutely grotesque."

But now that the couple, who met on Celebrity Big Brother, have called time on their fairytale marriage, Chantelle went ahead with the operation.

A source said: "It's a big change – she's gone from a 32B to a 32DD but they don't look ridiculously out of proportion and Chantelle feels fantastic."

Chantelle added: "I'm so happy with them – I absolutely love them and can't stop touching them."

The former Paris Hilton lookalike is also rumoured to have a new man – electrician Chris Neal, 26 who is said to have dumped fellow BB contestant Nikki Grahame, 25, in favour of the Essex-born model.

Chantelle said she immediately fell in love with her ex-husband but revealed that moving away from her family to live in Brighton following her fairytale marriage last August, was one of the main factors that led to the breakdown of the relationship.

But now she says she is glad the hell of their ten-month union is finally over.

She revealed: "I was married to a stranger. I'm happy it's over – we had nothing in common and nothing to talk about."

"I found living in Brighton very hard...I had no family, no friends and it was a really hard time for me."

Chantelle said at the time it was a mutual decision: "We both said, we can't do this any more, we can't go on hurting each other like this."

The pair are expected to be split their assets 50-50 despite her earnings being significantly higher than his.

The Ordinary Boys singer Preston, 25, has since rekindled his romance with Camille Aznar, 26 — the woman whom he dumped for Chantelle.
