Celebrity Big Brother star Chantelle Houghton has announced she's broken up with her fiancé Michael Strutt amid "red flags".
After just a few months of dating the pair moved in together and got engaged back in 2020, but despite their split Chantelle has insisted that she's "in a really good, positive place".
"It was amicable and we are still very friendly. At the start of the year I moved out," the reality star explained.
She continued, "With lockdown, I think a lot of people probably started relationships and we moved in together really quickly…
"I think that it put a lot of pressure on things and it just fizzled out."
Although they were engaged, due to COVID restrictions they didn't get very far with planning their wedding.
Chantelle went on to tell OK! magazine that although she has "no regrets", she insists, "Sometimes things just don’t work out and you can’t stay in an unhappy relationship."
Despite the break down of her relationship she's confessed that she's still looking for love but added, "But now, if there’s one red flag, I’m running. I know what I want and I won’t settle for anything less – but I still believe in love."

In more Chantelle news, when she spoke to Closer magazine last year she opened up on gaining 2st of happy weight.
"My weight has gone up again. I’m nearly 13st and I’ve never been this heavy in my life.
"I’ve gone up to a size 14-16, and at the moment, I’m even wearing a size 18 blouse, but it doesn’t bother me," she said.
While she followed a healthy plant-based diet for the last six years, she put her weight gain down to leading a sedentary lifestyle during lockdown. She even said her fuller figure prompted others to assume she’s pregnant.
"Last week I went to the hairdressers and the receptionist looked at me and said, ‘Oh Chantelle, congratulations!’ I giggled and said, ‘Don’t be embarrassed, but I’ve just put on a lot of weight!’
"My tummy has always been my problem area; people have been coming up to me for years and asking, ‘When is it due?’ I’ve got used to it now."
