'Celebrity Big Brother' winner Chantelle Houghton has announced her engagement to Ordinary Boys singer Preston, who was a fellow housemate during the last series of the show.

The Essex model made the announcement last night at the New Women Beauty Awards at the Dorchester Hotel in London.

"It was as much unexpected for me as it was for him, you know," Chantelle said, also telling those in attendance that Preston had given her his mother's wedding ring which has "been in the family for quite a while".

"He asked for his mum to send the ring over, which she done and, you know, he asked me. It just happened."

"I just want to marry him," she said. "I've had a really long day today but I don't feel tired and I'm just dying to get home to see him."

Chantelle also said that she was on the phone straight away telling all her family and friends the good news.

"It was literally in half an hour. I rang my mum and everyone and we went to get a bottle of champagne and we celebrated."

The model did not give details of how Preston proposed to her but said that they would be getting married some time this year.
