Well, we were doing such a good job showing how disinterested we were in yesterday's 'Chantelle and Preston to marry' exclusive on the front page of the Sun, that we forgot to mention it in the Daily. But we don't like to rush into things too hastily here at CMU - sometimes it's better to sit back and think about things before throwing together that 'and finally' story.
Employing such reserve is clearly not something that's occurred to the Ordinary Boy and Celeb Big Brother winner though, given that the couple have apparently become engaged mere months after meeting on the reality show.
Houghton apparently announced the news to reporters at an award ceremony in London on Tuesday, telling Sky News: "I'm feeling like the happiest girl in the world. Preston asked me last night to marry him and I accepted. I didn't have to think about it for a minute."
That said, according to The Sun, Preston proposed to his ex, Camille Aznar, following his release from the Big Brother house, what seemed like mere minutes before he ended their relationship, which would indicate that he doesn't take such proposals terribly seriously. Not that CMU would ever pass that kind of judgement on anyone, obviously. Well, not without thinking about it properly first.
