Chantelle Houghton shares rare picture with garden centre owner boyfriend as they pose in matching robes in spa

Chantelle Houghton looked more than loved-up as she enjoyed a spa break with her new boyfriend Westley O'Bryan on Friday.

The Celebrity Big Brother star, 42, posted a rare snap with the garden centre owner, 42, as she gushed he's her 'favourite person' in an Instagram post.

Chantelle and Westley posed in matching white robes during their relaxing morning at Lifehouse Spa in Essex. 

She wrote: 'A midweek spa escape @lifehousespa with my favourite person. It was so relaxing and the food was incredible, if you haven’t been then put it on your list❤️'

Earlier this year, Chantelle revealed her plans to marry Westley – just one month after they went public with their romance.

Chantelle admitted she has already purchased a wedding dress after spotting the 'very loosely fitted, cream, long sleeved, simple' number in a wedding dress shop near to her home. 

She told OK! magazine: 'I've already picked out my wedding dress. This dress was in the window for quite a few weeks. I drove past and I was like, "Oh my god I love that dress". 

'Westley has seen it and he loved it. He said it was classy and I'd look beautiful in it'.

Previously Chantelle was famously married to Preston, 44, in 2006 for ten months after they met on Celebrity Big Brother. 

On the big day, the reality star tied the knot with Preston at the historic Dartmouth House in London's Mayfair where she walked down the aisle in a satin dress by Elizabeth Emanuel – the designer behind Princess Diana's iconic wedding gown.

Chantelle admitted she only recently 'threw out' her first wedding dress as it now feels 'really disrespectful to have the dress in my home when I'm with this guy who I love and want to spend the rest of my life with'. 

Discussing her future nuptials with Westley, the TV personality said she would like a wedding worlds away from her huge first TV one where she 'didn't even know who some of the guests were'.

'This time I would only have immediate family and close friends. It would be very simple and classy with the main focus being that we want to get married not put on a big show for a load of people', she said. 

It comes after Chantelle admitted she should 'never have married Preston' as she opened up about her new relationship with Westley. 

Speaking on the We Need To Talk podcast, she said: 'For the first time really in my life, I love that man with my whole being.

'From the very first moment, I just knew. I've not text a man, I've not dated a man, I've not had any sexual anything with a man for very many, many, many years before I met my partner.

'I was so single by choice but also I hadn't met anyone that I was attracted to.

'We went out on a first date a couple of weeks ago and everything has been so obviously exciting but so easy, so comfortable, so reassuring, so like he looks after me, I feel looked after. 

'I know how much he loves me, I feel it, I literally feel it, I've never had that before that felling of pure love, I've never had it.'

The TV personality went on to discuss her 'amicable divorce' from Preston as she admitted if they hadn't of met on Big Brother she would never of fancied him. 

The couple became engaged four months after leaving the house in January 2006, before tying the knot four months later. They divorced less than a year after marrying.

She said: 'We should never have got married, like it should have been what it was. But you know what, we were young, we were on this crazy ride of Big Brother. 

'In real life we would never have met, he wouldn't have fancied me, I wouldn't have fancied him, we just weren't right. 

'It was the most amicable divorce ever, the day I moved out of the house we hugged and said goodbye, there was no nastiness, no bitterness, no hate, no nothing. It was a very easy breakup.'

Chantelle was also engaged to Katie Price's ex Alex Reid, with whom she shares daughter Dolly, 13, but ended the relationship after claims he had been unfaithful with other men and turned their home into a sex dungeon in 2011.

She also dated former Crimewatch host Rav Wilding, before they were pictured having a blazing row which led to them splitting up in 2012.
