I turned 50 and partied with Angela Rayner, then flirted with a superstar

HITTING 50 has done nothing to diminish presenter and DJ Denise Van Outen's lust for life.

In fact, the single actress reckons last summer was her most hedonistic for decades as she travelled the world for work and play.

Among her highlights in the funpacked year were partying in Ibiza with Deputy PM Angela Rayner and exchanging flirty messages with a Hollywood superstar.

Mum-of-one Denise reckons Angela, who is six years younger, lacks her stamina. She said: "She's not as hardcore as me. I rolled out of there about five o'clock in the morning.

I'm definitely more hardcore than Angela Raver." In August, the pair threw some shapes in the DJ box at Hi nightclub, which raised some eyebrows about the MP's behaviour. Denise rushed to Angela's defence, saying: "You are allowed to enjoy yourself a little. It's only fair. She wasn't drunk or anything. She was very lovely.

"We cheersed each other, then she turned away and raved on. It was a bit unexpected. She was only in there for maybe an hour.

MASSIVE

"From what I understand, she's friends with Fisher, the DJ." But despite her stamina, the summer of partying has taken its toll on Denise. She is on a self-imposed booze ban to recharge her battery.
