The 46-year-old star will voice new character Professor Polonium in upcoming feature length special 'Fireman Sam: Norman Price and the Mystery in the Sky', which is set to premiere on Cartoonito on December 5.
She said: "It’s a real privilege and honour to be asked to be part of 'Fireman Sam'. The show is an institution for us in our family and I absolutely love it.
"My daughter Betsy is going to be so surprised when she finds out I have got a starring role.
"We always used to watch it together and I am definitely going to be the coolest mum at her school."
Denise's character wreaks havoc across Pontypandy in the one-off special as she tries to prove she’s the best hero there is by making full use of her latest invention, the super rescue suit.
Unfortunately, things take a turn for the worse, and a series of fires break out across the area.
She added: "I am thrilled to be playing professor Polonium. She’s quite larger than life, very excitable, very opinionated and quite bossy, and she is out to make as much money as she possibly can.
"She goes to Pontypandy with her super rescue suit, which is her invention.
"She wants to show off, she thinks she’s going to make millions of pounds, actually she says she’s going to be a trillionaire.
"Except there is one small problem; everything goes slightly wrong and she causes havoc. Cue lots of fires!”
Ruth Henriquez - Infant and Preschool Marketing Director, Mattel EMEA - commented: “We’re delighted to bring the brilliant new feature-length special for 'Fireman Sam' fans to watch and enjoy.
"This is the team’s most action-packed adventure yet so expect all the thrills and spills of 'Fireman Sam' stories with added jeopardy, as mad-cap Professor Polonium visits Pontypandy and creates absolute chaos in the village. This is one not to be missed!”
