The 29-year-old announced her split from her fiancé earlier this month, saying that she had 'no option' but to end the relationship.

And it seemed as though Chantelle was feeling the strain of the split while looking after baby Dolly, with the former Celebrity Big Brother winner snapped looking grim-faced outside her Essex home.

Houghton was seen carrying a new baby bed into the house with a friend following a shopping trip with her 3-month-old daughter, with the trio later heading out for a meal together.

It came as Chantelle revealed on her Twitter account that she is planning to take legal action against Now magazine after they published an interview with her former fiancé, in which he claimed he was 'flabbergasted' by recent events.

Alex, who was held overnight before being released without charge, said in the interview that the incident occurred after his fiancée locked him out of the house following a trip to visit his parents.

Explaining that he called Chantelle from outside the house, he said: 'Chantelle put the phone down and, out of sheer frustration, I booted the door. It just came off. Remember, this is my house that I pay for as well.'

'She came down the stairs swearing at me and going crazy. But once I was inside I was completely calm. I didn't swear once and I actually told her to calm down.'

Shortly afterwards police arrived and took Alex custody, but he says he returned to their home the following day and even shared a bed with Chantelle – and that the first he heard of their split was when she announced the news on Twitter.

Despite this he said he was still feeling positive that the pair could resolve their differences, but added: 'We both need help. Professional help. Even if we're not going to be together romantically, we've got a little girl. But Chantelle doesn't think any of this is her problem.'

Alex even went so far as to issue a personal video message to Chantelle on the magazine's website but it seems she was unmoved by his pleas.

Taking to Twitter yesterday the incensed reality star revealed her intention to sue over the interview, writing: 'Suing NOW magazine for their disgraceful story they've printed this week it is categorically not true and I can prove it.

'I'm struggling enough without these disgusting allegations, I am pretty much on the floor right now.'

Alex has yet to comment on Chantelle's remarks, yesterday instead choosing to hit out at Twitter users who were abusing him on the social networking site.
