CHANELLE Hayes has a very strict rule about who she'll invite to her wedding to boyfriend Dan Bingham.
The 35-year-old says she's ditched the idea of having a big wedding and instead is being very picky about the guestlist.
Chanelle, 35, says she won't invite anyone who didn't check up on her when she had Covid.
Johnny Seifert on Secure The Insecure podcast: "Honestly, before if you'd have asked me this 10 years ago, I would have been renting an island like a whole private island.
"I would have invited people just for the sake of having certain names there.
Chanelle Hayes breaks down in tears as she’s left feeling ‘overwhelmed and lost’
"Now I'm like chopping people off the list if they've not text me when I've had Covid.
"I don't need to make a big song and dance about me and Dan being the centre of attention because it's a piece of paper at the end of the day and we just want to have a celebration, where we've got people there who we love, who we can enjoy our time with."
Chanelle - who is a mum of two - insists she wants a "simple" wedding - and won't be splashing the cash.
"I am a Yorkshire born and bred girl girl at heart, so for me, I would much rather save the money and put it into our home.
"Or save the money and save it for our children's futures.
"I want to have a simple wedding with our nearest and dearest where they get to see us just get to see how much we love each other and have just a lot of special special there."
Chanelle, mum to Blakely, 11, who is the son of former footballer Matthew Bates, and Frankie, three, from her former relationship with PE teacher Ryan Oates.
She lasted 62 days on Big Brother 8 in 2007.
Chanelle, 35, began dating Dan in early 2021, but have kept their relationship mostly private.
