Big Brother divorcees Chantelle and Preston have been reunited as they joined the star line-up for the final ever series of Big Brother.
The couple, who met on the celebrity version of the show and married after a whirlwind romance, were among 11 contestants who joined Ultimate Big Brother on Tuesday night.
The show kicked off just moments after the winner of Big Brother 11 was announced, with victor Josie shocked to learn she was being thrown straight into another series.
Chantelle and Preston, who split after just nine months of marriage, were often said to be on the verge of rekindling their love and remained on good terms despite the end of their relationship.
When the pair saw each other they smiled and hugged.
"You look so much shorter," Chantelle said.
"Do you come here often?" Preston joked.
The series will run for 18 days before the reality show leaves Channel 4 for good.
Josie, who won the series with 77.5% of the public vote, scooped the £100,000 prize money and a chance to compete in the final run.
During the 77 days she was in the house she developed an on/off romance with Australian heartthrob John James.
"Every minute felt like an hour (when he left)," she told the show's host Davina McCall.
"When you spend that much time with someone, when they are not there you get really down."
The financial sales rep said that she would use some of her winnings to buy former housemate Steve new legs.
The ex-serviceman, who was evicted last Friday, lost both his legs as well as an eye when he was injured by a bomb in 1989 while on patrol in Belfast.
Welsh minister Dave came second with 9.1% of the vote. Mario came third, professional boxer and barman JJ came fourth while Andrew, who was the youngest contestant to make the final, came in fifth.
