Chantelle Houghton showed off her 12-year-old daughter Dolly for the first time in almost a year as she shared sweet new snaps to her Instagram on Sunday.
The former Celebrity Big Brother star, 41, was seen putting a loving arm around her girl’s shoulder as they headed to a Halloween event at Hamley’s toy store in London.
And her mini-me Dolly, who Chantelle shares with her ex-fiance Alex Reid, clearly followed in her mum’s stylish footsteps as she wore a stylish gray outfit for the fun day out with her mum.
Chantelle, who shot to fame in 2006 as the first non-celebrity to win Celebrity Big Brother, has rarely shown Dolly’s face publicly since she was a young child.
These days, Chantelle keeps her daughter relatively out of the spotlight now that she’s older, with the star’s last image of Dolly on the grid being part of a video montage in December as she waved goodbye to 2023.

She previously shared a photo of the back of Dolly’s head in October 2023, showing off the girl’s colorful braids.
Chantelle was previously engaged to Dolly’s dad and Katie Price’s ex Alex, 49, in 2011, but their relationship ended after he claimed he had been unfaithful to other men and turned their home into a sex dungeon in 2011.
Alex and Chantelle have been far from amicable since their split, but have since moved on with their lives when Alex had children with partner Nikki Manashe.
While Chantelle is a devoted single mother to Dolly following her split from fiancé Michael Strut in 2021.
Chantelle’s latest photos come after she revealed in March that she has been celibate for the past two years following a string of disastrous relationships.
The beauty said she has “given up” looking for love due to the lack of “gentlemen” in the world.
The mother of one told me The sun: ‘It’s been about two years now and without sex I feel powerful, independent and free’.
“Chivalry seems dead and I would rather be alone for the rest of my life than settle for someone who makes me miserable.”

Chantelle was married to singer Preston, 42, for a year after meeting in the Big Brother house before embarking on a string of other high-profile relationships.
Telling the publication: ‘Since my marriage to Preston ended, I’ve suffered everything from ghosting to gaslighting, and I can spot a narcissist from a mile away.’
As well as Alex, Chantelle also dated former Crimewatch presenter Rav Wilding before they were pictured having a blazing row, which led to their split in 2012.
Telling the The Spiegel about the incident at the time: ‘You give six months of your life to someone, you don’t expect this treatment. Everyone could see it was aggressive.

It comes after Chantelle said she ignored negative comments about her weight because she was ‘happy’ with the way she looks.
The former reality star revealed she has lost ‘almost 5 stone’ after overhauling her diet and exercise routine in 2021 after gaining 13 stone.
The mother-of-one explained how she used to be called a ‘beach whale’ but is now still being ‘abused’ by trolls as they claim she ‘has an eating disorder’ after losing weight.
Speaking on the Vicky Pattison: The Secret To podcast, the reality star said: ‘I didn’t care what people thought about my weight.

‘The one thing I noticed was that I was a little bit aware of my stomach and when people said, “Oh, she’s pregnant,” that was probably the only time it bothered me.
‘I lost almost a fifth of weight, but when I was heavier people said, “She’s like a beach whale”, but when I lost weight everyone said, “She’s sick and has an eating problem.”
‘You will always face abuse and you will never stop people from having negative opinions. As long as I’m happy with myself it doesn’t matter to me.’
