Samuel Preston's Ordinary Boys announce UK tour, new video

The Ordinary Boys have announced that they are to embark on a UK tour.

The British band's frontman Samuel Preston, who is best known for marrying and divorcing his fellow Celebrity Big Brother contestant Chantelle Houghton, said that he and drummer Simon Goldring are bringing back the band three years after they went their separate ways.

The group have also unveiled a new song and video titled 'Run This Town'.

Preston said: "It's been five years since the band played live and despite having forged a career as a songwriter for other artists as well as [working on] some development and production [projects], I desperately miss those early, sweaty Ordinary Boys shows.

"I organised some time off in December to play some of my favourite venues from those days as a little release for myself and to give those songs the decent send off that they deserve.

"There is no reason beyond the fun of playing... I just need something loud and fast in my life and I want to do it before I turn 30 next year."

Guitarist William J Brown and bassist James Gregory will not be part of the reunion.

The Ordinary Boys' UK tour dates are as follows:

December 3: Aberdeen, Lemon Tree
December 4: Glasgow, King Tut's
December 6: Newcastle, The Cluny
December 7: Nottingham, Rock City
December 9: Birmingham, Academy
December 10: Bristol, Thekla
December 11: Portsmouth, Wedgewood Rooms
December 14: London, Islington Academy
December 15: Southend, Chinnery's
