Chantelle Houghton has been hiding the identity of her secret fiancé on social media, covering his face in every loved-up photograph.
But now, her husband-to-be has been revealed via a paparazzi sighting in the park. But of course.
The 36-year-old was pictured kissing her friend of nine years Michael Strutt on a romantic bike ride in pictures acquired by the Daily Mail, three weeks after revealing she is engaged.
The Celebrity Big Brother has been dating Michael for three and a half months in what has been quite a whirlwind.
Chantelle first began hinting at her relationship back in March, posting pictures of her man’s arm wrapped around her and writing: ‘In his arms I am happy.’
She began posting pictures of Strutt with hearts drawn over his face – sparking speculation that she had reunited with her ex-husband Samuel Preston.
And on 8 April, she confirmed that she was engaged by posting a stock picture of a blingy diamond ring and writing: ‘Ok, I know it’s lockdown and isolation but he just asked me to marry him: I said YES. I will love him forever.’
However, it looks like she got a real ring too, with a sparkler seen on her left hand on her outing to the park.
This will be Chantelle’s third engagement and second marriage.
After striking up a relationship with The Ordinary Boys singer Preston (who was engaged to another woman) in the Celebrity Big Brother House in January 2016, which she entered as a fake celebrity, the couple got engaged in April and tied the knot in August.
However, the dream died less than a year later in June 2007 – but the beloved pair have stayed close friends, and recently reunited for a new! magazine shoot.
Chantelle told the singer: ‘I just think for me there will always be something. I will always love you.’
Preston, now 38, however, insisted they would not get back together, saying: ‘I think it would ruin a really important relationship as it stands’, while Chantelle said she ‘can’t be with someone now if they didn’t like me being friends with Preston’.
