'Celebrity Big Brother' star Chantelle has ordered husband Preston to buy a slower car.

The reality TV winner was so terrified when Preston crashed his swanky Jaguar into a wall at high speed the Ordinary Boys frontman was forced to ditch it for a more sedate and considerably slower Citroen 2CV.

Preston, 25, said on his website: "I crashed my car really badly so I'm not going to make any jokes about it.

"It spun round twice and went up the kerb, almost killing about 20 people who were waiting at the bus stop. I'm too silly to have that much power in my hands."

The pop singer said he "loves" his new pastel grey car, and wrote, "I love driving her!"

Preston has put his retro 80s Jaguar, which comes with red leather interiors and a 12-cylinder engine, up for sale. The classic car will go to the highest bidder.

Chantelle, 24, and Preston married in August 2006, just months after meeting in January on the hit Channel 4 show.
