You've been binned! Chantelle Houghton ends relationship with Alex Reid just two days after his arrest
* Mother of one tweeted she had 'no other option' but to break up with Alex* Cage fighter, 37, spent the night in custody on Wednesday after being arrested on suspicion of causing criminal damage * Alex said he 'assisted police with their inquiries' in statement online* Police taking 'no further action' on the matterChantelle Houghton has split up with fiancé Alex Reid just two days after he was arrested at their home in Brentwood.The 29-year-old took to Twitter this afternoon (Friday, September 7, 2012) to inform fans that she felt she had no choice but to split from the cage fighter.Chantelle posted: 'Unfortunately I have had no option but to end my relationship with Alex.'The Celebrity Big Brother contestant's decision comes after Alex was spotted collecting a Chinese takeaway from the door of the property last night (Thursday, September 8, 2012) suggesting that the pair had put their differences to one side. The 37-year-old cage fighter handed over a £20 note as he received his meal, perhaps hoping a romantic night in with a chicken chow mein would help rekindle his ailing relationship. But it was clear that Chantelle was distraught and was pictured showing the strain as she made her way home later that evening. Wearing a thick black hooded jumper in spite of the warm weather, the blonde looked tired and drawn as she attempted to shield her face from photographers with her shopping bags. But it would seem Alex is trying to do his bit around the house as the couple attempt to move forward with their relationship, with the martial arts star spotted putting the bins out this morning, wearing a pair of brightly-coloured pyjama bottoms and a hooded jumper. Yesterday afternoon, the couple stepped out for the first time since Alex's arrest and the stress of the last few days was clear to see on Chantelle's face. There was no doubt the usually bubbly blonde looked a far cry from her normal self, with her downcast expression proving just how painful the experience has been for her.But ever the doting mother, the former Celebrity Big Brother star lavished attention on her two-month-old daughter Dolly as she prepared to drive off in her Range Rover. Dressed in a pair of leather panel leggings with a black mesh long-sleeve top and simple flat sandals, the star was evidently determined not to let the events of the last few days get in the way of her mothering duties.With little Dolly in tow, Chantelle made her way to a local branch of Mothercare, where she picked up a birthday present ahead of taking her little one to a party later in the afternoon.Alex was arrested on suspicion of causing criminal damage at the couple's home in the early hours of Wednesday morning. And neighbors have told how they were woken in the middle of the night by a 'screaming' Alex attempting to force his way in to the property.One told the Daily Star: 'I could hear a man shouting and when I looked out I saw Alex Reid.'He was screaming, "Let me in, f***ing let me in.’ Other people living in the street must have woken up because I saw a few lights go on".'Meanwhile, another neighbor admitted to finding the incident 'quite frightening'.She added: 'I’m used to them making noise late at night but I only usually hear cars coming back and forth and sometimes a bit of loud talking.'This time I heard banging and lots of shouting. I live on my own so it was quite frightening.'Alex has since been released by Essex Police without charge.In a statement on his official website, he said: 'In the early hours of this morning Alex was arrested at the address he shares with his partner, Chantelle Houghton after she called police following a disturbance.'The reasons for Alex’s arrest have been widely publicized and in some cases inaccurate and based on conjecture. 'Alex considers this a private matter and therefore is not prepared to comment on it save to say that he assisted police with their inquiries and following that, the police have taken no further action.'In recent weeks, the couple have made no secret of the fact their relationship has been under strain following the birth of their 11-week-old daughter, Dolly, in June.Chantelle told the new issue of OK! magazine: 'Things have been really strained. There's never a day without drama.'In an interview with New! magazine this week, Alex admitted he had made mistakes in his relationship with Chantelle, saying: 'I’m doing everything in my power to make it work. I’ve made bad mistakes and choices.'The couple have been dating for 16 months, and have run into several problems throughout the course of their relationship.Chantelle was furious when she discovered Alex had been exchanging private, but innocent, Twitter messages with model Amy Willerton - former protegee of his ex-wife Katie Price.The former Paris Hilton lookalike also admitted she was upset after seeing pictures of Alex being groped by a drag queen as he performed in a gay club.A few weeks before baby Dolly was born, Alex briefly moved out of the couple's Essex home, and again left the property for three days last month.A spokesperson for the couple declined to comment to MailOnline on whether Alex and Chantelle are living together full-time again.Both Alex and Chantelle have suffered failed marriages. The cage fighter was previously married to Katie Price, but she dumped him before they were even married for a year while Chantelle's marriage to Ordinary Boys singer Preston also failed to pass the 12-month mark.
