For a couple who have just split up, Celebrity Big Brother's Chantelle and Preston certainly are spending a lot of time together.

The 23-year-old, who stayed at her mother's Essex home after the break-up of her 10 month marriage was announced last month, has moved back into the Brighton property she shared with the Ordinary Boys singer.

The pair were spotted returning from a trip to the supermarket supermarket totting bags and tiny dogs.

What split? The couple were spotted running errands together in Brighton yesterday

In an interview with OK magazine, Chantelle attempted to explain the decision to move back in with Preston (full name Samuel Preston), but stopped short of saying they'd reunited.

She said: "All my suff is there, all his stuff is there too and we still love each other so it seems ridiculous to go back to mum's."

But the status of their relationship remains murky: "Will we have separate rooms? Er... well, I suppose. I don't know. Right now I'm desperate to see him, I really am. He texted me saying he's looking forward to seeing me."

She said: "I found living in Brighton very hard...I had no family, no friends and it was a really hard time for me."

At the suggestion the pair should try to make their marriage work, Chantelle responded: "Oh don't, you're going to get my mind going."

She now admits it was a whirlwind: "Maybe we should have taken things a bit more slowly, but I really don't regret anything we did."

Still, she insits it was not simply a money spinning publicity stunt

"It hurts me to think that people think my marriage wasn't real," the star said.

Chantelle also blamed the pressure to be "this perfect couple" for their marriage troubles.
