The Way They Were

87: Emer McLysaght: CBB's Chantelle & Preston

This week's episode is a fever dream for everyone involved, as not only is one-half of this week's couple an actual friend of the show and past guest, but it's perhaps one of the most notorious celebrity romances to have emerged from reality TV. 

Yes, it's true to say that this week's guest, writer Emer McLysaght played an absolute blinder when she brought the very public saga of Samuel Preston and Chantelle Houghton to the table for us to gorge on. And it would appear the show has now eaten itself, as Grainne was able to use the very episode Samuel appeared on as part of her investigation as to what on earth could have possibly gone wrong with this couple, who met surrounded by TV cameras on Big Brother, while one half of them was in a relationship... madness it didn't work out.
