No one else is involved in our decision."Ordinary Boys singer met the 23-year-old when she was planted as a 'fake celebrity' on the Channel 4 show.Viewers saw their romance blossom on-screen although 25-year-old Preston had a girlfriend outside the house.Chantelle went on to win 'Celebrity Big Brother' and in the weeks following the final Preston became engaged to his French girlfriend, then split from her and began a relationship with the blonde Paris Hilton look-a-like.They married just six months later in August.The statement continued: "We know people will think we married too quickly on the back of Big Brother but the truth is that, what anyone thinks, we did have a whirlwind romance but we were genuinely in love with each other at the time and we will never regret our time together.
"We both believe in marriage and we never treated our vows or our commitment to each other lightly.
"We've spent hours and hours discussing whether we can salvage our marriage, give it another go, try harder, anything rather than give up.
"But we now both agree that we should go our separate ways. We are both young and we still have our lives in front of us. The last two weeks or so have been very upsetting and sad for us and our friends and family and we appreciate their support."
