Ordinary Boys star Preston is reportedly leaving the UK to start a new life in the US following his split from wife Chantelle Houghton.

The couple, who met Celebrity Big Brother in 2006 and married last summer, confirmed they are divorcing in June and immediately after their split, Chantelle left their shared home in Brighton to return to her native Essex - however now Preston is moving further afield.

A close friend of Preston’s told the Sunday Mirror: “The past six months have been a rollercoaster for Preston and he feels he needs to have a long, hard think about his future. He’s hoping that putting distance between them will give them both a chance to move on.”

The source added that he’ll move to Philadelphia and stay with friends to start with, keeping his home in Brighton until he decides where he wants to settle down.
