Musician Samuel Preston, known for his work with The Ordinary Boys, and his fiancée Chloe Griffin recently made their first public appearance together at the Big Feastival in Kingham, Oxfordshire. Griffin kissed Preston on the cheek as the couple posed for photographs at the event, held at Blur bassist Alex James’ Farm.
Preston, 44, announced that he proposed to Griffin "months ago" after they met over Christmas. Griffin, who works as a Stylist & Creative Consultant, bears a resemblance to Preston's ex-wife, Chantelle Houghton.
Sources indicated that Preston and Griffin met while Griffin was working on The Ordinary Boys' music video for "Christmas Starts Tonight" last year. "Preston has found his soulmate in Chloe and they're so happy together," a source told The Sun. "They're gearing up for their wedding now and they couldn't be more excited about getting hitched."
Preston's previous marriage to Chantelle Houghton began after they met on Celebrity Big Brother in January 2006. They became engaged in April of that year and married in August, but separated in June 2007. Recently, Houghton reflected on their marriage, stating on a podcast that they "should never have married" and that they "just weren't right" for each other in real life.
Preston has previously spoken about his struggles with fame and addiction. He described his post-Big Brother fame as a "nightmare" and discussed a period of addiction to the prescription painkiller OxyContin following a serious fall in Denmark in 2017. The Ordinary Boys formed in 2002, with their hit song "Boys Will Be Boys" released in 2005, before Preston's appearance on Celebrity Big Brother.
