Chantelle Houghton is moving out of the house she shared with Alex Reid because it holds too many 'bad memories'.

The reality TV star - who has three-month-old daughter Dolly with the cage fighter - is searching for somewhere new to live following the breakdown of their relationship because she wants to make a fresh start free of the past.

She said: 'I was looking at houses to rent in Brentwood (South East England) last week as I've got to move out of where I'm living in four weeks' time when the lease is up

'The house I'm in now holds bad memories for me. I think with houses, if you walk in and get a really nice feeling, that's more important than, 'It must have this, it must have that.' From day one, this house has never felt right.'

Chantelle also blasted cross-dresser Alex for branding her 'overweight' and despite his recent public plea for reconciliation talks, she insists she has no interest in speaking to him as she doesn't trust anything he says anymore.

Writing in her new! magazine column, she said: 'He said I was overweight - I was speechless! I carried our baby for nine months and have given him this precious little girl. That's all he should be focusing on. I am overweight, but I'm not going to cry over it.

'In the last couple of weeks, Alex hasn't stopped contradicting himself. He made a video plea asking me to take him back but never once mentioned it to me - and now he's saying, 'There's no hope. It's definitely over.' I just take everything that he says with a pinch of salt.'
