Chantelle famously won the ‘celebrity’ edition of Big Brother in 2006 as the only ‘non-celebrity’. Fellow contestants included Michael Barrymore, Pete Burns, George Galloway, and Jodie Marsh.

And after winning the reality TV show, she married fellow contestant and musician Preston – frontman of Brit band The Ordinary Boys – in 2006.

Sadly however, the marriage ended in 2007, but it was a long way to come for the former wannabe glamour model and Jordan fan.

What surprised us the most however, was not the fact that successfully persuaded her fellow housemates she was the lead singer in an all-girl band, but her choice of car – because this is one of the rarest BMWs ever built.

Alpina are one of BMWs closest bedfellows, prepping and modding factory-fresh Beemers representing their luxury, pimped-up take on Munich’s finest.

The Alpina B10 came in a range of engines, and Chantelle’s old one comes with a 3.3-litre straight-six engine developing 280bhp and 247lb/ft of pulling power.

The 0-62mph dash takes 5.7 seconds – quicker than a Ford Focus RS – and the 0-100mph sprint takes 16.5 seconds.

But with the Alpina brand, you get a host of trinketry to distinguish your Beemer from the armies of 5 Series currently running across the UK, and Chantelle’s old motor includes 18-inch Alpina multi-spoke rims, an Alpina bodykit, and a grey and black leather interior.

The price for this celebrity-backed Beemer with luxury to boot? It’s yours – complete with a full service history – for just £8,995.
