Unfinished business: Preston and Chantelle Houghton realised they still had feelings for each other while in the Ultimate Big Brother house (above). They were dressed for a funeral to mark the passing of the reality show last Thursday


Chantelle Houghton and Preston are 'coming to terms' with their rediscovered feelings for each other since leaving the Ultimate Big Brother house.

Chantelle's spokesman Mark Thomas exclusively told Mail Online that the pair had been spending time together.


But Mr Thomas dismissed widespread claims of a '24-hour love-in'. He said that while it was too early to say their romance had been 'rekindled', the pair had 'unfinished business'.

However, Mr Thomas seemed hopeful that the pair - whose marriage in 2006 lasted less than a year - would reunite properly.

He said: 'They haven't had a love-in. Well, not yet, no. But they do want to have some time together.

'They're definitely talking to each other and coming to terms with their feelings.

'It's too early to say there's a romance yet, but they've got unfinished business, let's put it that way.'

Preston, 28, also took to his official Twitter page @samuelpreston to quash the rumours of a 'love-in'.

He said: 'Just want to quickly quash the 24 hour love-in rumours... we still haven't had a chance to sit down together.'

The singer added: 'I think my friend A. Source has been getting the wrong end of the stick once again x.'

Mr Thomas meanwhile also said reports that Chantelle, 27, was having a breast implant reduction, as Preston preferred her chest smaller, were also a bit premature.

He said: 'She hasn't decided what to do about her boobs yet either.'

But Mr Thomas said that the pair had already worked on one project together since leaving the BB house.

Perhaps unsurprisingly they've done a photo shoot for OK! magazine - the magazine that paid £300,000 for their 2006 wedding.

The couple first met on Celebrity Big Brother in January 2006.

Chantelle had gone into the house pretending to be a girl band member and passed her task before going on to win the show.

Then a Paris Hilton lookalike model, she also won the heart of Ordinary Boys frontman Preston in the house - despite the singer being engaged at the time - and the pair married months later.

However, the marriage lasted less than a year and they announced their separation in June 2007.

In a 2008 interview with Piers Morgan, Houghton admitted that Preston had told her one month after the wedding that he had not wanted to marry her.

Chantelle also blamed leaving Essex to move in with Preston. She said at the time: 'I found living in Brighton very hard... I had no family, no friends and it was a really hard time for me.'

Chantelle came third in Ultimate Big Brother on Friday night, losing to Nikki Grahame and winner Brian Dowling, with Preston finishing in sixth place.
