Preston is back with ex-girlfriend Camille after dumping her for Chantelle



Back together: Ordinary Boys frontman and ex-fiancee Camille, here last November, have revived their relationship following the demise of his ten-month marriage


When Ordinary Boys singer Samuel Preston started dating Chantelle Houghton on Celebrity Big Brother, his girlfriend Camille Aznar was understandably devastated.

Now, following the swift demise of Preston and Chantelle's ten-month marriage, he has reunited with Camille, it it has been reported.

According to Heat magazine, Camille, 26, was recently seen at Preston's Brighton home after returning from the shops with a paper.

The publication printed pictures in its current issue showing Preston, 25, at the door when she returned.

Despite their very public break-up from the Ordinary Boys frontman after he fell for Chantelle, 24, while both appeared in the celebrity version of Big Brother in 2006, Camille appears to have forgiven and forgotten.

Since Preston split from Chantelle, there have been a number of sightings of the singer with ex-fiancée Camille fuelling speculation that they are now an item again.

A source told Heat: "Camille has been spending quite a bit of time with Preston lately - mainly at weekends."

At the time Camille blamed the media attention she suffered for the reason she called off their engagement.

She said: "The pressure on us was so tough. We had to face up to the fact that we could never go back to how we were."

Split: Preston with Chantelle before they broke up. They divorced after 10 months last November

"It has been very difficult going through a break-up and seeing your boyfriend with another woman all over the papers.

But in another interview she raged: "He loved that I had a politics degree and a masters... we sat for hours discussing politics and the state of the world. Then he leaves me for someone so different."

After meeting and falling in love with Chantelle on the show, despite Preston's engagement to ex-fiancée Camille Aznar upon leaving the Big Brother house, they quickly announced their engagement in April 2006 and tied the knot in August 2006 in a lavish ceremony covered by a celebrity magazine.

They broke up only 10 months after they married, with critics claiming the whirlwind romance was merely a publicity stunt, with the previously unknown Chantelle becoming a household name over night.

Essex-born Chantelle revealed that moving away from her family to live in Brighton following her fairytale marriage last August, was the main factor that led to the premature breakdown of her relationship.

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

And when describing Preston's family, Chantelle admitted the two were from different worlds: "They sit round having dinner, drinking red wine and talking politics.

New look: Since her divorce, Chantelle has spent £4,000 on breast implants and looks more and more like her idol Jordan

"I didn't understand. I'd just sit there thinking: 'My family don't do this. What's it all about?'"

The couple announced their separation in a joint statement on June 27, 2007, and finally divorced last November.

Since her break-up, Chantelle has spent £4,000 on boosting her cleavage from a 32B to a 32DD, and hopes to follow in the career footsteps of her idol Jordan.
