Chantelle and Preston divorce

Posted by Helen Jennings

Chantelle Houghton divorced pop star Preston in a speedy 90 seconds yesterday.

Neither of them were at the hearing at London’s High Court, but The Ordinary Boys singer admitted unreasonable behaviour and a decree nisi was granted quickly along with 29 other divorces.

The couple, who met on last year’s Celebrity Big Brother, separated after 10 glorious months of marriage in June, saying at the time the break-up was after “much soul-searching and tears”.

It was also after making £300,000 in an OK! deal for their wedding. It’s rumoured that by the time they called it quits, the couple had made £1m each from the relationship.

Were they worth it? Share your thoughts.

A publisity stunt/finacial excerise all along,you dont go from loving someone so much you want to marry them to divorce in 10 months sorry dont buy it

I think that you should all give chantelle a break. she is probably feeling upset about the break up and im glad she has made plenty of money. she went in to that house just like us and now she is leading a life which i can imagine half of us would like to lead so good on her. it is a shame they have split though. i thought that they was a lovely couple.

So they were paid £300,000 for that travesty of a marriage of theirs, why doesn't OK ask for it's money back and donate it to a charity, battered wives, abused children or something similar? These so called celebraties are nothing more than talentless money and attention grabbing nothings.

Waste of space - why am I bothering to comment?

I'm sure Preston and Chantelle were happy with being granted a 'decree nisi', though they probably thought it was a cake or something.

date for 2 years before they get married? thats ridiculous people should marrying when and however fashion they see fit....you must be old or something mate....personally i didnt think they were well suited and she is a bit of a joke in the media while he takes himself too seriously...opposites attract and the rest but not in this case

Poor old Chantelle is a total waste of space so why are we interested in her? to see her fail I suppose, to be a warning to others who persue this pointless, self interested way of life? But while we silly people keep clicking on their stupid names to see what they are up to she (and others like her) will survive in the media and make more money. The wedding was always a money making scam!Preston could see the £ signs and the publicity to help his career, I'd never heard of him before CBB. People out there, start today, IGNORE THEM its the one thing these so called celebs can't cope with!

I think they made a really nice couple, and it seemed very genuine in the big brother house, i think they both seem nice people but maybe there not on the same wave length!

she should have never gone with him she would have found some one better

[Amanda]

I could see this marriage ending before it did.Preston is a mod he needs a moddette not a glamour model.

[Nikki]

I dont think Chantelle should even be classes as a celebrity. I cant stand them!!!!!!!
Waste of space!!!!

Well this is what happens when you marry someone you have only known for 5 minutes.

Marriage is no longer taken seriously with couples today, as they know a divorce will get them out of it.
Lets get Marriages taken seriouly again stop making it so easy for kids to get married in the first place. One way would be that couples need to date for at least 2 years before they can get married. Perhaps then marriage will be taken a little more seriously.
