Chantelle's dress fit for a princess

Big Brother winner Chantelle Houghton is to have her wedding dress made by designer Elizabeth Emanuel.

Emanuel famously created the bridal gown for Diana, Princess of Wales. Now Essex girl Chantelle, 22, will have a dress fit for a princess when she ties the knot with fellow Big Brother contestant Preston this summer.

"We are delighted and thrilled to announce we have been chosen by Chantelle, Big Brother celebrity, to design her wedding dress," Emanuel said.

"We are looking forward to working with her to create the dress of her dreams."

Emanuel's new label Art of Being will make the dress. Details of the design are being kept strictly under wraps.

Emanuel and her husband David spent three months making Diana's dress for the Royal wedding in 1981.

The ivory silk and taffeta creation had a 25ft train and was hand-sewn with 10,000 pearls and sequins.

Emanuel will detail the process of creating the bridal gown in her book, A Dress For Diana, published at the end of July.
