The 47-year-old star has been stepping out on stage every week at Proud Cabaret Embankment in racy ensembles, and her partner Eddie Boxshall "loves" her performances.

She told The Sun newspaper: "Yeah, I think I will have to [give him a private performance]. Otherwise he’ll go mad...

"He does love the outfit but the only thing he gets annoyed about is that when I leave the venue I get changed to drive home.

“So I will slip into my tracksuit bottoms and sometimes I even put my slippers on. I walk through the front door and he says to me, ‘Well, you didn’t look like that an hour and a half ago.’ "

Denise admitted even she sometimes gets taken aback by her own outfits on stage.

She laughed: "Sometimes when I do it I think, ‘Hark at me – 47 and still getting into my fishnets!’ But I absolutely love it.”

The actress joined the Proud Cabaret lineup in London in March 2020, and while she initially performed solo during the variety show, she's now flanked by other dancers.

Denise - who hosts and curates the variety show - is glad to have younger performers on stage because it keeps her on her toes.

She added: "I’ve got dancers now which I couldn’t have before because of the Covid rules. So I am now surrounded by 20-year-olds in really revealing costumes.

“I am 47, so I need to look after myself and make a bit more of an effort than I used to in my twenties and thirties. But I am happy to do that because I feel better for it.”
