Denise Van Outen is “hurt” and “shocked” that her banker ex-fiancé is using his links with her to make his own bid for stardom, sources claim.

Eddie Boxshall, 46, was thrust into the spotlight when he started seeing the actress and presenter in 2014, becoming a regular face alongside her on Celebrity Gogglebox.

And following their split in January, pals say he has a taste for the showbiz lifestyle and aims to use contacts he shares with Denise, 47, as a springboard to achieve celebrity status in his own right.
