OHMYGOD!!! It's Chantelle Houghton (sorry you'd have to have watched Big Brother to appreciate that line!), and she's here in Basingstoke to meet an army of young fans.
Chantelle Houghton was the first non-celebrity to feature in the Channel 4 reality TV show Celebrity Big Brother. She emerged as the winner of series 4, beating 10 bona fide 'celebrities' (Michael Barrymore, Maggot, Preston, Pete Burns, Traci Bingham, Dennis Rodman, George Galloway, Rula Lenska, Faria Alam and Jodie Marsh) and winning a prize of £25,000.
She grew up in Wickford, Essex with her mother and step-father and attended The Bromfords School in Wickford. She now lives in Brighton with her husband, Samuel Preston, of The Ordinary Boys, whom she met on the show.
As a twist to the show, she was instructed to convince the celebrity housemates that she was a celebrity, a member of a (fictional) girl group named Kandy Floss, whose biggest hit was said to be "I Want It Right Now". Had she failed to convince them, she would have been evicted from the house. She successfully fooled her housemates and survived to the end of the show.
In her Big Brother profile page Chantelle described herself as a "bright, blonde bimbo". Chantelle is not a natural blonde however. She said, "I look like Paris Hilton, not on purpose but it's just the way it turned out". She has been nicknamed "Paris Travelodge" (implying, unkindly, a cheap version of Paris Hilton).
You wouldn't think at her tender age there would be enough to put in her autobiography, but her fans disagree. One tells me it gives us hope that in being normal there is a small chance of something better in the future, which I feel is quite sad, but as her book says she is Living The Dream.
