Big Brother’s Chanelle Hayes is pregnant
Former Big Brother housemate Chanelle Hayes is expecting her first child with Middlesbrough footballer Matthew Bates.
The 22-year-old, who appeared on the show in 2007, told pals she was “delighted” after having her 12-week scan.
It comes just five months after the she was hospitalised for attempting suicide following a blazing row with Bates, 23.
Reality star, Chanelle was found unconscious on the floor of her Wakefield home, after overdosing on sleeping tablets, paracetamols and four bottles of wine. She later explained: “I thought: ‘I can’t make Matt happy, I can’t make anyone happy, I can’t do anything right, I can’t even make my stupid self happy, so it’d be much easier for everyone if I’m not here’.”
The pair have since patched up their differences, a friend of the couple said: “The dark days are behind now, and Chanelle is absolutely thrilled. Matthew’s over the moon too.”
Chanelle first found fame in Big Brother 8 following an on-screen romance with fellow housemate, former boy band singer Ziggy Lichman. The couple soon split after leaving the house and the self-styled Victoria Beckham look-alike quickly established herself as a glamour model.
In May 2008, she attempted a pop career with her début single I Want It, which reached a dismal no. 63 in the charts. That same year, she also released a perfume called Mwah.
Does anyone care about this nobody? No? Didn’t think so…
