I'm not quite sure how this is music news, though she is dating (marrying?) a musician, and he was once a popstar of sorts ('Shout' was a great song). Anyway, Declan Donnelly has been dissing poor old Chantelle, describing her rise to fame as a celebrity trick "got out of hand".
Speaking to Arena magazine, Dec says of the Celeb Big Brother winner: "Chantelle is like a trick played on celebrities that has got out of hand. I'm not sure that would happen in any other country. Celebrity used to be a by product of your day job, but now it's just a day job to be a celebrity. That never used to exist before. I wonder how many kids now do want to be firemen and policemen and nurses and stuff, and how many kids just want to be famous. It's a sad kind of reflection."
Thanks Dec, just what we needed, a bit of sad reflection for the weekend.
