Series: Celebrity Big Brother 4

What she's remembered for: Chantelle made headlines when she became the only non-celebrity to not only enter the Celebrity Big Brother house, but also win the series. As always, there was a catch with her entrance… Chantelle had to convince the celebrity housemates that she was, in fact, a celebrity. Her cover story was that she was a member of a fictional band called Kandy Floss. She successfully fooled her housemates, winning the chance to stay in the house. During her time, she struck up a close friendship with Ordinary Boys singer Preston, leaving viewers hanging onto their will they/won't they relationship.

Her life post-Big Brother: After a turbulent start to their relationship, Chantelle and Preston soon got together after the show had finished. The pair got married… but then a divorced followed shortly after. Although Chantelle claims to have loved Preston with every bone in her body.

Since the divorce, Chantelle has had a number of high-profile flings including with footballer Jermaine Defoe and BB9's Dale.

Since winning Celebrity Big Brother 4, Chantelle had her own post-Big Brother show called Chantelle: Living the Dream. Presenting roles have included The Paul O'Grady Show and her own dating show called Chantelle's Dream Dates, where she gave girls a makeover ready to go on a date with one of three male contestants. Other TV appearances include Hotel Babylon, The Friday Night Project, The Weakest Link, The Dark Side of Fame with Piers Morgan, 8 Out of 10 Cats, The Mint and Snog, Marry, Avoid.

She's also published her own autobiography, Living the Dream, which was a best seller in 2006 and has written several columns in magazines. To add to her little empire, Chantelle has also opened her own clothing store in Great Yarmouth.
