Den’s outta love - Nov 04
Denise Van Outen has split with boyfriend. Just when we thought the Essex girl was going to settle down news reaches us that Den has split with her partner of three years, nightclub owner Richard Traviss amid rumours that he couldn’t cope with her still being hung up on old flame Jay Kay. "He’s done nothing wrong, we’re still talking and I’m not with anyone else." Denise told press just after the split. Rumour has it that a reconciliation is on the cards - but with Jay Kay rather than Richard. The pair split some time ago but friends seem sure that the pair were meant for each other and that it’s only a matter of time before they get back together.

Princess Denise - October 04
Denise Van Outen is to play Grace Kelly in a Broadway musical. Star of stage and screen Denise so impressed the good people of Broadway during her turns in Chicago and Tell Me On A Sunday that the brains behind a new production snapped her up for the lead. Information about the musical is thin on the ground but what we do know is that Denise will be playing Grace Kelly, the Hollywood actress who became a Princess before dying tragically in a car crash in 1982.

Nun of that! - 15/08/03
Denise Van Outen is returning to our TV screens - cast as a Nun.

The bubbly blonde has been treading the boards in the West End and Broadway for quite a while now, but it appears that she is looking forward to getting back on the small screen.

The show is to be called ’Loose Cannons’ and Denise’s character will be called Sister Mary - described as a ’boisterous, ladette nun!’ The bunch of odd characters will be fighting to save a run down church.

Fellow Islington gal Linda Robson will also be in the show - which at the moment is just a 30 min pilot, but if it gets a good response then who knows, it could be a habit! Hopefully it won’t be a nun hit wonder... I am sorry, don’t know what comes over me sometimes...

Can Denise cut it as a Nun? Talk about this on our message board
