Dale Howard is now dating Chantelle Houghton

Chantelle & Dale are now reported to be dating according to their reps at Neon Management. Speculations were high when the couple was seen leaving Chinawhite night Club together.

The couple looked besotted yesterday as they strolled through a London park (Regent's Park) after a shopping trip. But the news will come as a big blow to Jennifer Clark, 22, who had a fling with Dale, 21, after appearing with him in the telly house this summer. They split in bitter style last month. He accused Jen of using him to find fame and fortune, while she hit back by claiming he scored just “two out of 10” in bed.

Dale and Chantelle were looking all loved up as they were walking in Regent’s Park. A spokesman for Dale said: “They have been out on a few dates and things are going really well.” And Chantelle’s spokesman confirmed: “They have seen each other a fair few times and seem really happy.”

Samuel Preston did not want to marry Chantelle Houghton

CELEBRITY Big Brother babe Chantelle Houghton says ex-husband Preston never wanted to marry her.

The Ordinary Boys frontman, 25, was even pulling silly faces at her on their wedding day. Chantelle, 25, tells Piers Morgan in his show The Dark Side Of Fame: “A month after we were married Preston told me: ‘I knew I didn’t want to marry you on our wedding day’. It was weird on the day. He was pulling silly faces when we took our vows. “He took the pee. I tried to keep a straight face but I thought he was being weird. “I thought: ‘You shouldn’t be doing this... you should be looking into each others’ eyes on your wedding day’.

I wondered what was going on. But I just went along with it. “After he told me that he never wanted to marry me, we did interviews where we told everyone how happy we were. I lied about being happy.”

Chantelle, who claims the end of the 10-month marriage caused her to binge on booze and food, sobs: “I feel bad for my mum. I’m her only daughter and I wanted her to be proud of me.” Chantelle and Preston’s divorce was finalised back in January this year. TV interviewer Piers, 43, says: “I am shocked. “This is every bride’s nightmare being told your husband never wanted to marry you in the first place.”

The show airs on Monday, October 27, on BBC1 at 10.35pm.

Chantelle Houghton is no longer dating Tony Richardson

Chantelle Houghton is confusing Peter Andre: " is it my wife ?!?!?! "

Peter Andre says he mistook Chantelle Houghton for his own wife. He was confused by a snap of the Celebrity Big Brother star, who now sports blonde hair extensions. The singer thought Jordan, real name Katie Price, 30, had been out on the town without his knowledge. ‘I got the shock of my life the other day when I opened the newspapers to see someone who I thought was Katie stumbling out of a nightclub drunk and falling over,’ he says. ‘I was just about to confront her and ask her why she’d had a night out and without inviting me when (thank God!) I realised it wasn’t actually Kate, but Chantelle Houghton!’

Pete, 35, reckons his missus should be impressed. ‘It might not be deliberate, but she is looking more and more like Katie everyday,’ he writes in his new! diary. ‘I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so Katie should be pleased.’ (from Now Magazine)

Chantelle Houghton opened a new store in...Yarmouth

Chantelle Houghton drew large crowds to the Market Gates shopping centre in Yarmouth as she helped unveil the fashion shop Store Twenty One

A long line of people eagerly waited to meet the star, who was making her first visit to the resort and took the opportunity to take a walk along its sandy beach.

Chantelle said: “It makes me happy to see so many people here today and Yarmouth has made me feel very welcome.”

The Store Twenty One chain choose the Market Gates site for its latest shop in East Anglia because the centre is in the middle of a £16m revamp which will attract even more shoppers to the town.

The new store will create 12 jobs. A 70,000 sq ft extension of the centre will see Debenhams and Starbucks set up shop and Iceland has already opened a new look store on the site.

Chantelle Houghton dancing at Faces Nightclub, Essex, while Jady Goody is cat fighting

Chantelle Houghton was at Faces nightclub, Essex last night with pal Charlotte Mears.

Chantelle Houghton was having an amazing time dancing with other celebrities like Calum Best, Joe Cole, & Tom Huddlestone when a fight broke...a cat fight with celebrity endorsement.

Jade Googy, 26-year-old was involved in a vicious fight with a female party goer at the Essex nightclub before turning her rage onto a club security guard.

An onlooker said the mother of two was eventually asked to leave the venue after refusing to calm down, but her spokesperson insists she "left of her own volition."

Jade's spokesperson said: "Jade was a victim of an unprovoked attack by another girl. "She tried to defend herself and was not asked to leave by the club."

Chantelle Houghton with new pal Chanelle Hayes

Sporting hair extension and newly-acquired breasts, Chantelle bears more than a passing resemblance to glamour model Jordan. But Chantelle Houghton looked Fab anyway. Much prettier than the Nose Award Party thingy !

Chanelle however is better know for her obsession with Spice Girl Victoria Beckham, having died her hair brown in an attempt to look like the pop star.

But this time, the girls both opted for short black dresses, making it difficult to determine who would win best copy-cat look.

Pretty Polly's line-up included fellow contestants Nikki Graham and Orlaith McAllister. Notorious playboy and Love-Island star Calum Best completed the reality TV show spectacle by also making an appearance.

Chantelle Houghton at the MCN Motorcycle Show in London!

As Jordan is set to hang her party shoes up for good, it looks as though Big Brother's Chantelle Houghton has picked up where the former wildchild left off.

Leaving little to the imagination, Chantelle, who has made no secret of her admiration for Jordan, was pictured in a PVC black corset and thigh-high red boots to promote the launch of the London Motorcycle Show on Thursday.

After months of copying Jordan's style and persona, the ex-Celebrity Big Brother contestant has finally managed to outdo her at her own game, adopting a set of Jordan-like poses that would put even the glamour model to shame.

With streaked hair, revealing outfit and of course, recently enlarged breasts, Chantelle has completed the copycat look leaving little doubt as to who she looks to for style tips.

Chantelle has already spent £4,000 on boosting her cleavage from a 32B to a bountiful 32DD, and now there's speculation she's also had collagen pumped in her lips.

The former Paris Hilton look alike lined up for plastic surgery following her split from Ordinary Boys frontman Preston last year.

Chantelle has said: "I love Jordan and what she's done in her life. I hope to achieve the same."

But Jordan, real name Katie Price, is now shying away from her famous look, replacing her brassy blonde hair with subtle brunette locks.

She also had a breast reduction in Los Angeles just before Christmas, going from a huge 32FF to a far more reasonable 32D.

She is also rumoured to have had a nose job during the stay.

Chantelle Houghton is in "Katie Price alias Jordan: The Remake"!

Chantelle Houghton: National Anti-Bullying week

Celebrity Big Brother star Chantelle Houghton was in Croydon last week to receive the Beatbullying Celebrity of the Year Award.

To mark national Anti-Bullying week, she was presented with the award at the mkone store in North End by the charity, who try to reduce the amount of incidents of bullying and lessen its impact.

Chantelle also presented Beatbullying with a cheque for £109,521.56 on behalf of mkone for the money they have raised by selling Beatbullying vests featuring the charity's logo.

Samuel Preston back with ex-girfriend Camille Aznar

Samuel Preston & ex-fiancee Camille Aznar are seeing each other again. The 25-year-old singer, was spotted arm in arm with his former lover during an outing in London earlier this week. The pair split in 2006 when Preston dumped for Paris Hilton look-alike Chantelle Houghton.

The former Celebrity Big Brother contestants met on the show while Preston was still dating Camille and subsequently split with her shortly after the show wrapped, leaving the singer free to marry 23-year-old Chantelle. The whirlwind affair lasted barely a year and Chantelle and Preston separated in June, with cynics claiming the marriage was merely a publicity stunt, with the previously unknown Chantelle becoming a household name over night.

Now that the celebrity dust has settled, it looks as if public school educated Preston has returned to the French brunette after realising he had little in common with the dizzy blonde.

"He loved that I had a politics degree and a masters," Camille said in one interview. "We sat for hours discussing politics and the state of the world. Then he leaves me for someone so different."

In a recent interview, when describing Preston's family, Chantelle admitted the two were from different worlds: "They sit round having dinner, drinking red wine and talking Politics. I didn't understand. I'd just sit there thinking: 'My family don't do this. What's it all about?'"

Chantelle was left devastated after the collapse of her marriage and has admitted the heartbreak drove her to develop an eating disorder.

Chris Neal: Full time Electrician & Part time Celebrity Lover

Chris Neal was caught red-handed when Nikki caught him snogging pal Chantelle in the back of a taxi.

Chris told the News of the World: "Our lips touched and the doors of the taxi flew open.

"Nikki was standing there with her hands flying about, screaming at us, wide-eyed.

"Suddenly I knew how it must have felt to be in the BB house with her."

Chris, 26, said sex with Chantelle, 24, who won Celebrity Big Brother last year, was high voltage compared with Nikki.

"Nikki was fun but the sex with Chantelle was better."He also preferred Chantelle's boobs.

"I didn't like Nikki's boob job —they looked and felt fake, while Chantelle's were nice and pert. I can't understand why she recently had a boob job. She was perfect."

But there was one area where 25-year-old Nikki—who screeched her way through 2006's BB7—had plenty to shout about.

"They're both noisy lovers, but Nikki edged it on that score. She shouted the room down."

He got together with Nikki in July after they met at a polo event.

"She recognised me from one of the clubs in Epping where we go out and gave me a peck on the cheek. She was looking pretty hot in her clubbing gear," said Chris.

They swapped numbers and had their first date two weeks later.

"I took her for dinner, we went on to a club, then Nikki suggested we go back to her flat. Our fingers tugged at each other's clothes as we half stumbled into her bedroom.

"We had quick sex that night and fell asleep," he revealed.

But Nikki soon gave Chris a hands-on demonstration of how saucy she can be after a date in London.

His pals gave them a lift home in their Range Rover. Chris and Nikki were in the back.

"I felt Nikki's hands wandering over me," he said.

"She didn't seem to care the guys in the front might notice and got carried away as she unzipped my fly and started performing a sex act.

"We ended up with my jeans down round my ankles and her feet by the headrests—a real tangle. She seemed to love the risk of being caught."

It was on a night out with Nikki in an Essex club in September that he met Chantelle, recently separated from Ordinary Boys star Preston – who she had met on Celebrity Big Brother.

Chris said: "Despite Nikki being there, I just couldn't take my eyes off Chantelle. I gave her a little pinch on the bum and she responded positively."

The two were soon in touch, despite Chantelle being pally with Nikki, and before he knew it Chris received an invite to Chantelle’s Billericay home.

Chris said: "I got to her place about 10pm and my jaw hit the floor when I saw her tiny black dress and stilettos.

"Chantelle loved my reaction. We started having a little kiss and cuddle on the sofa.

"We ended up on a mattress on the floor of her room. We got undressed, the lights were dimmed. Chantelle pleasured me and I returned the favour until we were both satisfied."

After the first night they agreed to meet next evening, when they ended up back at her house again for electrifying sex.

"We spent the whole night making love. It went on for hours," said Chris. The next time, Chantelle appeared in black diamante-studded knee-high boots.

"I thought Christmas had come early. At one point they were all she was wearing," he said.

The pair became so close they planned to spend Christmas in New York.

But then their affair became public. Chris said: "Chantelle didn't want it to all come out."

But he has no regrets. "Most blokes would kill to sleep with two of the hottest women in reality TV."

Chantelle and Samuel fight over their Divorce

Chantelle Houghton and husband Samuel Preston are at war over their divorce - after Samuel demanded half Chantelle's earnings SINCE they broke up.

Samuel Preston is even eyeing her favourite assets, claiming he has a fifty per cent share in the £4,000 32D BOOBS she treated herself to when they broke up

Before the op Celebrity Big Brother winner Chantelle, a natural 32B, said: "I'd love to be a cup. Preston didn't want me to get them done. He said that fake boobs were grotesque but now I can do what I want."

Only last month the blonde, 24, insisted she would happily divide everything 50-50 with pop star Preston despite her near millionaire status dwarfing his pay packet.

But then the Ordinary Boy, 25, swooped on cash Chantelle has made from selling her story of heartache. A source close to her said: "Preston claims that without him and their marriage she wouldn't have had anything to talk about it.

"But she thinks that's ridiculous and he is being completely unreasonable. She can't believe how bitter he is being and is furious. Their marriage was miserable - now the divorce is going to be just as bad."

The couple got together on last year's CBB but their whirlwind marriage only lasted ten months and led Chantelle to become bulimic. Last month she admitted she realised it was a mistake just four days into their honeymoon. She was trying to eke out a living as a Paris Hilton lookalike before clinching Big Bruv's £25,000 prize.

She went on to have her own shows on E4, sold the rights to her wedding to a magazine for £600,000 and landed a £300,000 advance for her autobiography. Figures lodged with Companies House last month showed she had earned £925,615.

After splitting with Preston, whose biggest hit was Boys Will Be Boys, Chantelle dated Chris Neal who dumped Big Bruv madam Nikki Grahame for her.

But Chris, 26, a pal of Jade Goody's ex Jack Tweed, is now out of the picture.

Chantelle said: "I thought he'd bring a bit of fun at a time when I was very low. But he only went out with me because of my money. He was never going to be a replacement for Preston."

Last night her spokesman said: "All divorces have their problems but Chantelle is confident she can work things out with Preston." Preston was unavailable to comment.

Chantelle Houghton has a bigger breast: New Boobs

Celebrity Big Brother winner Chantelle Houghton has had a boob job to change her breast size from a C to DD.

A spokesperson for the 24-year-old star said she is recovering well and is "over the moon", quoted in Now magazine.

She was photographed leaving cosmetic surgeons, wearing a tight-fitting hooded top.

According to the News of The World, an onlooker said: "She obviously wants the whole world to see she''s back to her best by wearing that skin-tight top."

The blonde reality star reportedly told New magazine in May that she was planning the operation to regain some curves after losing weight. She hoped the surgery would boost her confidence.

(Samuel)Preston is quitting the UK to get over the break-up of his 10-month marriage to Chantelle Houghton.

The singer, 25, will move to Philadelphia in America later this month. But he'll keep a base in his hometown of Brighton.

'The past six months have been a rollercoaster for Preston and he feels he needs to have a long, hard think about his future,' a source tells the Sunday Mirror.

'He's hoping that putting distance between them will give them both a chance to move on.'

Chantelle Houghton says her marriage to Preston ended because she loathed living in Brighton. The Essex Girl, 23, moved to the seaside town when she married the Ordinary Boys singer last year.

'The truth is I found living in Brighton very hard,' she says. 'My life had changed and it was a time when I needed familiar things around me. 'And being in Brighton I had nothing. I had no family, no friends and it was a really hard.'

The marriage only lasted 10 months but Chantelle reckons she and Preston could have made a go of it if they'd moved to the capital. 'I do believe that if we'd lived in London...things would have been better,' she insists.

Celebrity Big Brother lovebirds Chantelle and Preston have split after 10 months of marriage, it was announced today.

The couple met on the reality show last year and wed following a whirlwind romance.

“After much soul-searching and tearful discussions we have sadly decided to end our marriage,” they said in a joint statement.

“We hope we can always remain friends and still love each other but we both think we put so much pressure on one another to make our marriage work that it has ended up destroying our relationship. No one else is involved in our decision.”

The couple insisted their relationship was genuine and denied they had rushed into marriage.

Former promotions girl Chantelle Houghton and Ordinary Boys singer Preston (full name Samuel Preston) met on the show in January 2006. They announced their engagement in April and tied the knot in August. The couple sold the rights to their wedding day to a glossy magazine.

The statement said: “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.”

Chantelle Houghton was planted in the Celebrity Big Brother house as a “fake celebrity” tasked with convincing the other contestants she was famous.

She went on to win the show.

Here is an extract from 60 seconds interview led by the Metro newspaper.

How’s married life treating you?
Very well. It’s amazing, thank you. Nothing changes; it just makes it that much more special, from being in love to actually being husband and wife. It makes it more meaningful.

It’s still early days – has the novelty worn off yet?
No and I don’t think the novelty will wear off. That’s for sad people.

What have you enjoyed the most since winning Big Brother?
The dating programme I did. I met a good lot of girls who worked on the show who’ve remained my friends. The programme was a lot of fun.

What’s been not so good?
When I went on German Big Brother. They had a farm and expected you to feed the animals and clear them out, which, obviously, I wouldn’t have done. They had a poor side and a rich side. On the poor side, you had to work all day feeding the animals and clearing cow s**t out; while on the rich side, you just drank champagne and lived in a luxury flat. They put me in this little pretend hotel thing. It wasn’t a nice experience, though. I’d just won Big Brother and wanted to be out having fun, not locked up again. I was supposed to be there for three days and two nights but only lasted a day and a night.

What’s the best thing about being famous?
Everyone being really nice to you and being complimented all the time. And the freebies come in handy.

I‘m not going to shout ‘I’ve done cocaine and had five threesomes’ to stay in the headlines

What’s the best freebie that you’ve received?
A car – a Vauxhall Tigra. I get endless make-up, clothes and shoes, and can walk into shops and ask for discounts. It’s lovely.

What are the drawbacks?
I can’t say there is a drawback – I couldn’t name one. My life before was a drawback.

What was wrong with your life before?
Everything. It wasn’t as fun as my life now.

Do you ever get abuse in the street?
Only once, from a little old lady on King’s Road [Chelsea]. She had pearls round her neck and was wearing a little buttoned-up suit and looked really posh. She started shouting stuff at me while the paparazzi were there and, in the end, the paparazzi told her to f**k off and leave me alone. She was just horrible. She was jumping in front of the camera shouting: ‘I’m a lady, take pictures of me.’ I think she’d lost the plot a bit.

You were pals with Jodie Marsh in Big Brother. Do you regret not pursuing that friendship?
I didn’t have Jodie’s number but I know she had my mobile and my house number but she never rung so, y’know, that’s why. I didn’t hear from her. Things happen, don’t they?

She’s written stuff about you on her blog. Have you read that?
No. I don’t go on the Internet much.

People expected you to release I Want It Right Now and you didn’t. Why’s that?
The public knew I couldn’t sing and that was obvious to everyone. I wanted people to respect me for turning down a lot of money and a record deal for the fact that I can’t sing. I felt it would have been cheating the public out of money. The finished song wouldn’t have been me singing, it would have been a lot of producers pushing a lot of buttons. Think of all the musicians out there who try so hard, while I just get on Big Brother and release a single. It’s not right, is it?

What do you listen to at home yourself?
I don’t listen to much. I put the radio on every now and again but I don’t have a CD collection. I’ll listen to the radio if I’m cooking but that’s it.

Do you go to Preston’s gigs?
I went to the one in Southend the other night. It was amazing. I’m really proud of him. It’s my husband on stage and he’s singing and there are all these people supporting him who have paid money to see him.

How much work did you get as a Paris Hilton lookalike?
Not much, about two jobs a month, if that. It wasn’t half as exciting as my life is now. I used to get jobs like going to a toy exhibition, where I had to walk around with a fluffy dog poking out of my bag. Just really embarrassing things like that.

You’ve got a lookalike of your own now.
Yes. I haven’t met her. There are a lot of girls who you could just put a blonde wig on, green eye shadow and orange lipstick and claim to be my lookalike. Good luck to them. If they can make a bit of money out of looking like me, good luck to them because I did the same thing once. Rock on.

Is Nikki from this year’s Big Brother a threat to your popularity? She’s got her own E4 show.
Am I popular?

You’re not doing badly.
Oh thank you, that’s a very nice compliment. Me and Nikki are totally different people – good luck to her. It’s a bit sad to sit there thinking about other famous people and wondering if they’re your rivals. Do you sit there thinking about people in your office that might be a bit better than you? It’d drive anyone mad. Just be glad with what you’ve got or else you’ll end up a bitter and twisted person.

What have you got coming up?

Obviously I’ve made a lot of money so I’m planning on being a property tycoon. I’ll be buying flats around the Olympic stadium and selling them on for a lot of money. That’s my next little adventure. I wouldn’t mind being one of the dragons on Dragons’ Den. Or I might become a maths teacher. Why not? I’ve come this far, ha ha ha.

Do you feel under pressure to keep appearing in magazines?
If I’m not in a magazine, I’m not going to shout stuff like ‘I’ve done cocaine and had five threesomes with the neighbours’ just to stay in the headlines. I’ve got a bit more respect for myself. I’d rather go away quietly and not be seen again for the rest of my life than have to shout about doing heroin like some people do. Say I was bitter and twisted about Nikki, for example, I could start shouting: ‘Hang on, look at me! I used to be a prostitute’ or something. But that’s just not going to happen.

How likely is it you’ll become a maths teacher?
Probably very unlikely but you never know, do you? Ha ha.

WATCH THE VIDEO

Hundreds of thousands of milers relaxed on Saturday night by putting their feet up in front of the TV and joining an audience of millions to watch Sport Relief.

Davina McCall, Chris Evans and Gary Lineker guided viewers through a feast of over five-and-a-half hours of entertainment.

Chart sensations and Sport Relief milers McFly got things going with a bang when they opened the show with a storming rendition of the official Sport Relief single 'Don't stop me now.'

Throughout the evening, donors were given the chance to win fantastic prizes by deciding who would triumph in a series of head-to-head challenges.

The first of these saw Chantelle Houghton beat Jade Goody 14-12 in a very special live edition of Mastermind.

John Humphries asked the questions, which included specialist rounds on Coronation Street for Chantelle and Eastenders for Jade, as Britain's favourite reality TV stars sweated in the show's famous black chair.

GMTV presenter Jenni Falconer was crowned Sport Relief's Only Fools on Horses showjumper of the year - despite being the only novice rider in the final four.

The show raised a fantastic £250,000 for Sport Relief thanks to your calls and text votes.

The Sport Relief tradition of inflicting pain on Ray Stubbs was admirably continued in brilliant fashion as 50,000 brightly coloured bouncy balls were fired at the BBC Sport presenter.

There was also celebrity pigeon racing as our hosts each took a feathered friend under their wing to contest the true sport of kings

But Chris Evans was left with egg on his face as 'Monty', his bird, trailed in last and was forced to present the next half an hour of the show in a giant pigeon costume.

Lineker and Evans were after a different kind of birdie later on as they teamed up to take on Nick Faldo on the roof of BBC Television Centre in Incredibly Crazy Golf.

The idea was to chip golf balls into the mouths of Bruce Forsyth and Jimmy Tarbuck - but sadly our duo could not cope with the six-times-major winner and were emphatically beaten 10-5.

Stylish Susannah showed off some silky driving moves as she beat her style-icon rival Trinni in their rally car driving challenge.

Stephen Fry hosted a very special edition of Question of Sport Relief.

Sue Barker joined in the fun by joining Ally McCoist's team alongside Nancy Dell'Olio.

The show ended in familiar fashion for England fans, with Davies losing to a jubilant McCoist in a nail-biting penalty shoot-out.

Viewers were also treated to the last-ever episode of Footballers' Wives, with a scene-stealing special guest appearance from Graham Norton and a jaw-dropping twist in its tail.

Sir Steve Redgrave beat Colin Jackson in an energy-sapping power pint contest that saw one lucky donor winning a trip to Munich's Ocktoberfest.

Catharine Tate, Ron Manager and Jon Culshaw provided comic relief from a series of incredibly powerful and poignant appeal films.

There was time for one final challenge as the Sport Relief tradition that is celebrity boxing returned.

Jack 'The Ripper' Osbourne took on former S Club 7 star Bradley 'Dynamite' McIntosh for the coveted Sport Relief light entertainment belt.

An evenly-matched contest was watched by an enthusiastic crowd as supporters of both men man roared their support.

Jack was announced as the winner after a unanimous judges decision but insisted: "There are no losers here, tonight we are all winners."

Chantelle Houghton and Samuel Preston have confirmed their wedding date.

The couple had been planning a late August-early September wedding and now Chantelle has confirmed that they’re to marry on August 25.

They’ve picked Arundel Castle in Sussex as the location of their nuptials and Chantelle told the Sunday People: “I’m so happy - it will be the wedding I’ve always dreamed of.”

“We’ve been busy planning it all and now I can’t wait.”

She also revealed she “not in the slightest” bit nervous.

The sussex venue would be for the Photographers, OK Mag, and others...the real family wedding will take place as announced in Essex. See Previous article.

There was a star-filled turn out on London's embankment at the weekend as Jamie Oliver, Sadie Frost and boy band McFly ran a mile in aid of Sport Relief. Dame Kelly Holmes kicked off the first of eight runs in the capital while hundreds of others took place around the country.

The double Olympic gold medallist proudly donned her red Sport Relief sock which every runner was given before the race – receiving its companion once she had passed the finish line. "It's a lovely day and it's great to see so many people getting behind such a great cause," she said. Also taking part was her fellow Olympian Lord Coe, who was forced to admit that he'd been out-sprinted by his eight-year-old daughter.

More than 420,000 people spent the sunny Saturday taking part in the mile-long event. Chef Jamie and designer Sadie were just two of the famous faces who helped raise over £12 million for the charity which helps disadvantaged communities in the UK and abroad.

In Brighton Jo Brand, Jade Goody and Chantelle Houghton took part in the fun, while soap star Nikki Sanderson ran in Manchester, and legendary rower Steve Redgrave took part in Birmingham. The total figure was boosted by the efforts of Little Britain star David Walliams who recently raised £1 million with his sponsored swim of the Channel.

Bob Geldof has been named as the celebrity that most teenagers admire, according to a poll for the Duke of Edinburgh's Award.

The Irish rock star turned campaigner was picked by 19% of those questioned in a survey on role models to mark the 50th anniversary of the scheme.

Olympic gold winning athlete Dame Kelly Holmes came second with 18%, while Sir Richard Branson was third with 16%.
