Celebrity Big Brother winner Chantelle Houghton has shared a picture of a mystery man to Instagram and fans are really hoping it's her ex-husband Preston.

Seems like there are some love stories we're just not giving up on, eh?

And we're totally here for this one.

Describing the man as her 'lockdown' 'love', Chantelle kept followers guessing as to his real identity. But that didn't stop the hope.

"Omg it's Preston," wrote one.

But is it? Let's examine the evidence.

The photo is of a man, and Preston is a man.

But, hang on. Preston very clearly has arm tattoos and the man in Chantelle's photo does not.

B-b-but - the photo above was taken in 2006, maybe Preston has had them lasered off in the intervening 14 years?

Sorry, huns. It's definitely not him.

Devvo.

The exes are still very much on good terms though.

Chantelle opened up to Closer earlier this year and revealed she still had her wedding dressfrom their special day.

“We have such fond memories together – only the other day, I was doing a clear-out, and I told him I still have my wedding dress. He told me to keep anything that has good memories,” she said.

After they split, Chantelle had daughter Dolly, with ex-fiancé and former Mr Katie Price, Alex Reid, who also won CBB.

And before you ask, it's not him in the photo either.
