BIG BOTHER
I was on Big Brother and I’ve got a huge regret about the show – and it’s not my doomed celebrity romance
BIG Brother legend Chantelle Houghton revealed she has only one regret from doing the show - and it's not her failed TV romance.
Chantelle - who went on to win the show - famously married The Ordinary Boys' frontman Samuel Preston after falling in love in the Celebrity Big Brother house in 2006.

But their love story sadly ended when they divorced in November the following year.
"It was a whole love story - pure and innocent and lovely," Chantelle recalled.
"We're still in touch, we still talk, we'll send messages to each other about funny things we remember," she revealed.
"We're really, really good friends."

Despite their romance ending abruptly, Chantelle admitted she wouldn't have changed the experience but said there is one thing about her appearance she would have altered.
"My hair extensions that I went in with were just awful, absolutely awful," Chantelle told New magazine.
With just weeks to go before the Big Brother reboot, hosted by AJ Odudu and Will Best, Chantelle said she would jump at the chance of making an epic return to the show.
The star said: "Definitely, without a shadow of a doubt, it's such a great experience.

"It's four weeks of fun, twists and turns, no bills to pay. You get fed, watered and a roof over your head."
The Sun revealed that the ITV2 reinvention of the reality TV epic will kick off with a launch show on ITV1.
A TV insider said: “ITV wanted to make sure the comeback landed with a bang so they will kick things off by giving it the most high-profile spot possible.
“They’re hoping that a sensational start will hook the maximum number of viewers on the main channel, then bring them across to ITV2 for the rest of the series.
“This is something which has never been done before. Even when Love Island was at the height of its pulling power, it never had a launch show on ITV1.
“Bosses really want the BB reboot to work and are hoping it will prove just as sensational as when it first launched 23 years ago.”
