'I FEEL SEXIER THAN EVER'

When it comes to men, TV presenter Denise Van Outen hasn’t had it easy. After getting her big break on The Big Breakfast in the 1990s, the star had a string of high-profile relationships with the likes of singer Jay Kay, actor Nick Moran and nightclub owner Richard Traviss. But none of them lasted more than a few years.

In 2007, fans thought she’d finally found her happily ever after when she met musical theatre star Lee Mead while filming Any Dream Will Do. The couple walked down the aisle in 2009 before welcoming daughter Betsy the following year, however they called it quits in 2013 – six months after Denise’s stint on Strictly.

Her next shot at love came in 2014 when she met former fiancé Eddie Boxshall. But Den’s life came crashing down in January 2022 when it came to light that Eddie had been sexting other women behind her back.

Most recently she split from property developer Jimmy Barba after a whirlwind 18-month romance.
