Chantel Hotan, star and winner Older brotherthe most iconic series, confessed that she is still friends with her ex-husband Preston and will “never get rid of” her wedding dress.
The 38-year-old girl was placed in Big Brother’s house as the only person not a celebrity, and she was challenged to get her housemates to believe she was part of a girl group.
During her stay at home, she had an affair with her colleague Preston, who was a singer in The Ordinary Boys.
The star spoke about how her life has changed since staying at the Big Brother house: “Obviously, I got married, divorced, I have no regrets about getting married. I had a gorgeous wedding, I was 21 and I got married in central London in Mayfair. I wore a wedding dress designed by the same designer Princess Dianadress ».

She admitted: “I still have it in the closet. I will never get rid of this dress because I really loved Princess Diana! ”
“I had a baby, now I’m a mom. I turned off the public spotlight for a while for personal reasons, but I worked again. I just use all the opportunities that have passed in my way. “
She explained that she was “happy, all is well and lives to the fullest.”

Chantelle also touched on her divorce from Preston: “The only thing I can compare it to is a holiday romance. You’re leaving, you’re in this huge bubble, you’re not working, you have no family, it’s just fun, fun, fun.
The former model admitted that the couple “would never look at each other twice”
and “would never have even met” because they had such different interests.

Despite the differences, the couple “fell in love with each other” and moved to Brighton together.
They were on their way to becoming prominent in the spotlight, and Chantelle described it as a “love milestone” that was quickly overshadowed when the “honeymoon period” came to an end.
Chantelle explained that they “could not keep this lustful feeling forever,” and when it disappeared, they realized that “they are as different as two small children.”

She recalled a date at Gordon Ramsey’s restaurant in Claridge that made them stop and question themselves because they didn’t think they were “old enough” to be there.
Although their relationship ended just 10 months after the marriage, Chantelle said she had made “memories that will last forever” and the couple still maintain the friendship to this day.
