Denise Van Outen is said to be keen for Kimberley Walsh to replace her former fiance Eddie Boxshall on 'Celebrity Gogglebox'.
Denise Van Outen could be joined by Kimberley Walsh on the next Celebrity Gogglebox series
The former 'EastEnders' star confirmed last week that she and Eddie have parted ways after more than seven years together, and the 47-year-old TV presenter could now be joined her Girls Aloud singer pal on the new series of the Channel 4 show.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Denise and Eddie joined 'Gogglebox' together in 2019 and were a hugely popular part of the celebrity series.
"They were already signed up to the next round of filming when Denise dumped Eddie and she wants to honour the commitment.
"But she won’t be having Eddie back in the house, let alone on her sofa, so she is looking for a friend to come on board.
"Ideally, it would be Kimberley Walsh as they’re good pals and Kimberley has been on 'Gogglebox' before."
Denise - who has 11-year-old daughter Betsy with ex-husband Lee Mead - took to Instagram last week to confirm she and Eddie were no longer together.
She wrote on Instagram: "Over the past couple of months, there has been much speculation regarding my relationship with Eddie.
"It saddens me to confirm that we are no longer a couple. I had to make the difficult decision not to continue in our relationship.
"I will always treasure the good times we spent together, and the memories made.
"We ask that you please respect our privacy at this time, especially for our children [heart emoji]. (sic)"
Her spokesperson said: “Denise is understandably upset about the news, but she remains optimistic for the future.
"Her priority is looking after her daughter and continuing to work on the many exciting projects she has coming up this year.”
