Was this the greatest flounce of the decade? Very possibly, say our experts.
Preston, lead singer of The Ordinary Boys, became a household name in the mid noughties when he entered Celebrity Big Brother at the height of the show's popularity.

This simple love story between the faux celeb and the man who brought you Boys Will Be Boys charmed the gossip mags, but made them a target in the “credible” media.
