A spokesman for the Chris Evans show has said that it was never confirmed that Denise would be part of the Boys and Girls anyway, as with her many commitments it would have been impossible. But they wish her well, and the TV show looks set to air in Spring now, rather than the New Year as planned. But who will be the girl host now?

Denise spreads some fairy dust on Marks and Spencers -12/10/02
A campaign has started which is pushing Marks and Spencers back up the top of the charts, and all because Denise Van Outen is dressed in a skimpy fairy outfit.

Denise is one of a host of celebrities including Graham Norton, Cat Deeley, Joan Collins and David Beckham who say why the store is their top place for Christmas. The ad campaign even has brought comedian Ronnie Barker out of retirement, and features him sitting at the head of the Christmas table! The ads will run until Christmas Eve and will have the strapline ’magic and sparkle’.

Denise will be pictured in her fairy outfit sitting on top of a huge present asking the celebs What Makes Christmas Special? I think most fella’s answers will be obviously Denise in the fairy outfit, naturally!

Tv duo set to join forces again... 29/10/02

Lloyd Webber taken by Van Outen - 15/03/02
Denise Van Outen is set to become the star of a new musical, written specially for the former Big-Brekfast presenter by Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Lloyd Webber recently met Den when she sang one of his songs at the Royal Variety Show. It’s been reported that he was so taken by her that he described her as "one of this country’s best talents."

Things are going well for the Basildon beauty as she is making her debut on Broadway. Describing the musical as being ’based on the pop world’, the thick-lipped theatre supremo added, "I haven’t been so excited in ages. Denise is a big part of it."

From Basildon to Broadway - 13/02/02
Denise Van Outen is about to reprise her role in "Chicago" as Roxie Hart on Broadway. The Islington resident’s 20-week run last year as the murderous minx in the steamy musical was a hugely successful departure from her television career. Now she has the chance to wow audiences in NYC.

After Clare Sweeney’s run as Roxie is finished, the Basildon blonde will return to the Adelphi Theatre in April to pull on those fishnets one more time and give London another taste of sexy Essex Roxie.

Denise also recent made a surprise cameo appearance in "The Play What I Wrote". Her surprise appearance on stage at the Wyndam’s Theatre drew gasps of delight from the audience. Like Minnie Driver and Jerry Hall before her, as part of her guest appearance the former Big Breakfast television presenter donned an extremely unappealing monk’s habit to play the unlikely role of Fat Father Bug-Eye.
