Chantelle Houghton reveals sad reason for living single life after split from fiancé

Chantelle Houghton has revealed exclusively why she is still single years after her highly publicized relationships, revealing that her decision was largely driven by her circumstances as a single mother.

The 41-year-old former Big Brother contestant has spoken to New! that she no longer feels the need to be in a relationship despite not being opposed to finding love because she has spent so much time alone.

“I don’t have a love life,” I say! Due to the circumstances I was in, she admitted, “I’ve been single for a long, long time.” “I wasn’t forced, but I did have a lot of my time by myself while looking after my young daughter.”

After meeting on Big Brother in 2006, Preston and Chantelle met and wed just months later.

Alexander Reid and Chantelle Houghton dated from 2011 to September 2012.

Dolly, 12, and her 12-year-old daughter Dolly are in a relationship for the love of their lives, Chantelle said. She continued, “I’ve always said that I prefer to be sitting on the sofa alone than with someone who is lonely.” Nothing worse than being in a relationship and feeling alone and unhappy.

The reality star refuses to impose her feelings of loneliness when she is content with being single. She isn’t entirely opposed to meeting new people. I’m open to meeting someone, I say. She acknowledged that she hasn’t met anyone who would like to advance things with, despite the fact that she is not closed off from it. I don’t date, and I don’t use any dating apps. It will happen naturally if it does.

From her fiery 10-month marriage to Ordinary Boys frontman Preston after meeting on Celebrity Big Brother to her turbulent relationship with Katie Price’s ex-husband Alex Reid, Chantelle’s romantic life has long been in the spotlight. She now values her independence and is focused on raising her daughter after years of intense media scrutiny.

Chantelle Houghton became the first non-celebrity to win the reality series in 2006, making her the first non-celebrity to ever make it to the Celebrity Big Brother House.

“I’ve had enough time on my own that I’m alright,” he said. She said, “I don’t need to feel whole with someone.” I’m happy on my own because I’m not trying to find happiness with anyone else. They’re just going to make me smile more when I meet them.

She hasn’t been tempted, despite admitting to receiving a few romantic offers. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve received a few offers, but I’ve just politely declined. She laughed, noting that the majority of them are actually old.

Olympian Sally Gunnell warns of ‘silent killer’ as athletic friend suddenly died

Sally Gunnell, the OBE, has opened up about a friend’s sudden death. Despite not having any prior symptoms, the Olympic gold medalist was suddenly hit by a “massive heart attack.”

The 61-year-old had a lifelong love of sports, always working out in the gym and cycling, while keeping his alcohol intake to a minimum. However, his arteries were blocked by a small piece of plaque, which caused him to pass away instantly.

In an exclusive interview with the Mirror, Sally said, “He died just instantly, and that was it.” Nothing was there. No admonition. He probably had left his bike a few days earlier.

Sally continued, “He was an athlete for many years, had always maintained his health and fitness, but I guess you don’t know how much stress they go through and what else is happening in their lives.”

(Dave Benett/Getty Images for Emi) Sally and her husband, John, have always led active lifestyles.

“But you know, he was always working out, staying in shape, never drinking excessive amounts of alcohol, really. And I believe it was merely a shock, I suppose.

The tragic fact that, according to British Heart Foundation statistics, heart attacks continue to be the leading cause of death globally for both men and women, underscores the grim reality.

One heart attack occurs every five minutes in the UK, equaling roughly one hundred and one thousand per year. Around 20% to 60% of cases, according to the Cleveland Clinic, are completely ” silent “, describing often painless events without any prior symptoms.

Sally and her husband, John, were completely moved by their friend’s passing because their lifestyles mirrored one another’s. In light of this, Bluecrest Wellness and they made the decision to have a health checkup. Blood tests, an ECG, and other assessments were included in this time, which spanned 30 to 45 minutes.

Sally’s iron levels were a little low, but her “metabolic age” was 42, which is an impressive 15 years younger than her actual age of 57. However, the picture didn’t quite work out for John because of early signs of plaque buildup and high cholesterol.

Their friend’s symptom before his fatal heart attack was plaque buildup, which was particularly alarming. Sally continued, “I think John was a little in denial because we both know and love to exercise, and we both do so.

He said, “Oh, I’m not going to do anything that’s fine, we’ll just carry on,” which is a “kind of] scenario where I panicked and said, “Well, hang on a minute, I can’t just ignore this.”

According to tests, Sally’s “metabolic age” was 42 years, which is an impressive 15 years younger than her actual 57 (Daily Mirror).

The pair has collaborated to alter their outcomes now that they have moved forward. Sally had to reduce her red meat intake to combat those high iron levels.

In the meantime, John is taking statins to lower his low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and the pair continue to exercise less strenuously called “Zone Two.” In the upcoming months, they will need a second checkup.

“It’s very simple to bury your head, and I sometimes feel like, “Do I really want to know?” Sally responded. “And of course, we do really because, as you know, I’ve always said, I’d rather prevent things if we leave it too late,” he said. Before it’s too late, I’d prefer to make changes in my life.

Sally, 58, continued, “When you hear about Davina [McCall] and Sir Chris Hoy uncovering these terrible health conditions, it really brings out the value of facing up to it, knowing your numbers, and understanding your risks, without being scared.”

Jacqueline Jossa looked heartbroken just hours before Dan Osborne split bombshell

Just hours before it became known that the couple had split after eight years of marriage, Jacqueline Jossa appeared heartbroken in a recent photo.

According to reports, Dan Osborne’s ex-wife has moved out and lives nearby, while Jacqueline, 32, has stayed in their family home with their children. Dan is alleged to have packed his belongings just last week, just one week after the couple was reportedly “shocked” by rumor that he had split. The couple, who have previously been the subject of rumors about their relationship, denied their split in January of this year.

The mother of two posted a number of snaps on Instagram that made her look hopeless. The EastEnders actress wore a black and white stripped short sleeve top with light blue jeans as she captured the action from “Sunday.” Although she had makeup on, her expression was unfavorable.

Just before the split bombshell, Jac took to Instagram to post selfies.

Jacqueline, 32, was seen without her engagement ring earlier this year, raising questions about the troubled relationship between her and 33-year-old Dan. Jacqueline appeared hopeless at their local gym after the EastEnders actress and the former TOWIE star arrived separately. Her missing wedding ring only served to increase rumors that the couple had broken up.

In a statement, Jacqueline and Dan stated that they are handling their affairs privately and have chosen to keep their lives and relationships private. They kindly request privacy and respect as they navigate this together, it added. Their children are always in charge, surrounded by both parents’ love and care, a quality that will never improve.

According to a source close to the couple, Jacqueline and Dan are taking a break and not communicating with one another. They have made this difficult decision because it hasn’t been easy for them lately. They added that although neither Jac nor Dan are certain of what will come next, their break was “need.”

In an interview with The Sun last month, Jacqueline revealed that the pair are still together and have only recently been reassessing their assets in spite of the split rumors that were spreading. She said, “People seem to believe they are more knowledgeable about my life than I am.”

They were saying, “Jacqueline didn’t spend Christmas with Daniel. All I need to do is post pictures of us wearing Christmas hats together. We read and laugh along with each other while we are lying in bed next to each other.

She continued, noting that the speculation about their relationship is “ridiculous,” but that it comes with being in the public eye.

I haven’t put myself out there in that space, though, aside from returning to EastEnders. Dan and I haven’t both recently produced any reality TV shows. “I read about Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright and thought, “Really? Is that accurate? But I can assure them that they are content. What other people think or want to read is not my business.

Lauryn Goodman reveals plans to have third baby as she’s ‘not ready to let go’

Despite initially believing she couldn’t conceive naturally, Laurien Goodman has revealed her plans to have more children. The social media influencer is a parent of Kairo, 4, and Kinara, 2, but she is holding on to the fact that her youngest, who is still a baby, has no plans to stop having children in the near future.

Following a string of liaisons with his wife Annie Kilner, the 34-year-old has two children with AC Milan star Kyle Walker. Kyle apologized to his wife for his actions after learning about Kairo and Kinara’s paternity. According to sources, Goodman was “very much in the wrong” and that there wasn’t a proper relationship with him, who just recently appeared on Celebs Go Dating. However, Lauryn’s family maintained that he was a “willing, enthusiastic participant.”

Lauryn has revealed that she wants to add a sibling to her family while she is happily single. She told the Mirror exclusively that she misses the chubby baby cuddles and the smell of the newborn at the Mariposa Ball on Saturday night. Even though I’m breastfeeding her in the evening, I feel like the journey is coming to an end. I’m holding off on stopping because I’m not willing to let that go.

Lauryn explained that she wants to extend her brood and is attempting to slow down the birth process (Instagram).

She said, “I don’t have time to do anything; my kids take my time,” when she was reflecting on her dating life. Lauryn claims that she went through “induced menopause” before conceiving Kairo and Walker. She remarked, “It was a difficult time.” The woman from Brighton continued to claim that she had previously tried IVF.

She said, “It didn’t feel like I was failing, but it wasn’t right.” She continued, “Everyone has their own circumstances and is unique.” I went through an induced menopause, came out of it, and then became pregnant with Little Man six months later.

Kairo, who is only four years old, claims that he already has feelings and frequently tells his mother what’s going on inside his head. She proudly praised her eldest child, saying, “He told me the other day that he was frustrated or that he didn’t like something, so it’s nice to see him grow that way.”

Lauryn has previously openly discussed her battle with endometriosis. One in ten women are affected by the condition, which causes excruciating pain and frequent periods as well as infertility. The uterine lining tissue that should be present each month shows up elsewhere causes the condition. The pelvis, stomach, chest, spine, and occasionally the brain are just a few examples of how it manifests frequently.

The endometrial tissue, which is fed by the main female sex hormone, oestrogen, swells and bleeds, much like the lining of the womb. However, because the blood is not in the uterus, it causes inflammation and scar tissue buildup. Lauryn explained that she spent ten years in and out of her GP’s care before receiving a diagnosis in a previous interview with BBC News to Victoria Derbyshire.

She said, “It’s really difficult having to listen to someone trying to tell you that you don’t have it when they are trying to tell you that they don’t know anything about this condition.” She claimed to the newscaster that going private was expensive because not everyone had the same luck as me.

She continued, “I had two laparoscopies and [keyhole surgery] over the course of three years, and then I went through an induced menopause.” That was terrible. You’re going through what women go through in their 50s and 60s, hot and sweaty. It’s terrible. Your hormones are “raging,” everywhere.
