'I don't really read the comments - probably for the best!'

Whether it's razzle-dazzling on the stage or kicking back on a beach break, Denise Van Outen knows how to make the most of life.

Happily single and loving life since her split from Jimmy Barba in November 2023, the theatre star and presenter, 50, chatted to us about juggling mum life (she shares teen daughter Betsy with her ex-husband, West End performer Lee Mead) with an array of exciting new projects.

Essex-born Denise, who is working with Marella Cruises, told us about the holidays she loves and why she still adores an action-packed adventure as much as a chilled day at home.
