'It’s been a really difficult week and a lot has gone on, & I appreciate everyone’s kind words. The relationship wasn'’t what I wanted so badly and wasn’'t the genuine thing I thought it was.

Upset: The Celebrity Big Brother winner seems distressed as Rav goes to touch her during their argument 'It’'s so upsetting as I genuinely & truly loved Chantelle, but the publicity side isn'’t always reflective of the truth. All I ask is that you don’'t believe everything that'’s written, and thanks again to everyone who'’s been in touch – means a lot x' Chantelle was pictured in tears after Rav lost his temper with her during what was supposed to have been a romantic picnic in the park.
And yesterday, it looked like she had left the country - she was seen at Heathrow towing her suitcase behind her.
A representative for the reality TV star said that she had no comment on the split at this time.However, Chantelle tweeted this morning: 'Had an awful week thanks for all ur support x'
Chantelle, 27, and Rav, 33, who have been dating since October, had appeared the picture of contentment as they shared a bottle of champagne lounging on the grass. But the mood turned sour when Chantelle said something that evidently sent her boyfriend into a rage.

Rav got to his feet and began shouting as Chantelle dissolved in tears.

An on-looker told The People: ‘The two were having an almighty row. She looked absolutely shocked as he pointed at her and even grabbed her arm. He looked furious. He was shouting at her and jabbing his finger.’



It started so well: The pair hug and kiss at the beginning of their al fresco date in Richmond Park

Was it something she said? Rav's mood changes and he pulls away from a kiss 
After Rav had finished shouting a distressed Chantelle got up and stormed back to her car. Rav followed her and the pair continued to argue as they stood next to her Audi TT.

Finger of accusation: Rav makes his point as, back at the car, he continues to rage at Chantelle
She said: ‘I went really hot and my heart started beating and I couldn't speak - but he didn't (propose).'

Chantelle met her ex-husband Preston, of Ordinary Boys fame, on Celebrity Big Brother and they married in August 2006, only to split up 10 months later.
Talking about her relationship with Rav she said: ‘We have little rows - Rav finds it really hard that I've been married before.



Parting not the sweetest sorrow: The couple were still at odds as they got into the car to drive away



Cooling off: A drizzle begins to fall and quite literally puts the final dampener on the day out 
'It doesn't anger me but I don't like someone wanting to change my past because I wouldn't change it for anything - I don't regret any of it.
'I don't think Rav wants to acknowledge it, but what went on between me and Preston is important,' she said.
