Denise Van Outen has announced more exciting news with fans, just days after it was announced she had launched a new consumer show on Channel 4, How To Heat Your Home For Less.

Many fans were excited for the celebrity trio to be working together as one commented: “This should be fun. I really enjoyed watching @llewelynbowen on the Pilgrimage journey”.
Just last week, Denise announced she was fronting a one off programme on Channel 4 which will see the star uncover tips for the public to save money on their energy bills.
Speaking to The Sun about her new show, Denise said: "I've got a radiator key ring attached to my car key and I've been going to my friends' houses and bleeding their radiators, it's hilarious.
“I've never really done that before and a couple of my mates like me, they're single parents and they're women ,you know, and it's not something you think of doing. And I'm like, oh the top of your radiator's not as hot as it should be, I've got a solution.”
Denise has also recently been enjoying the single life since parting ways with property tycoon Jimmy Barba last November, even exchanging messages with a major Hollywood name on the elite dating app Raya.
"I did connect with one massive Hollywood star. We had a little bit of the chat, but I don't live in LA, so I thought, he's not going to come to Chelmsford,” she shared with the Daily Record. "I loved it [Raya]. I've made some friends. I go on dates. I'm not an angel. I'm out having a good time."
