So there Alex! Chantelle Houghton brings sexy back as she ditches dowdy outfits for slash string top on another junk food shop

After kicking fiancé Alex Reid to the curb, having trouble house hunting and being labeled 'overweight' by her drag queen ex, things still aren't looking up.

But the former Big Brother star is soldiering on and is trying to embrace her sexy side again, as she was spotted grabbing packets of chocolate in Essex on Thursday dressed in a revealing backless top.
