The 46-year-old entertainer and her partner Eddie Boxshall are not officially engaged but they had been planning a small registry office wedding.
However, Denise has revealed that they have now decided to put plans on hold until 2023 so that they can have a huge, blowout party with family and friends, without COVID-19 restrictions getting in the way.
She told The Sun newspaper: "We’re not engaged but we are preparing to get married. It will definitely happen but we’re not in a rush.
“We’re both getting back to work now with everything opening up and it’s just finding the time, as we want it to be a big day and that takes a lot of planning.
“We don’t want a small wedding. We want a big group of people and a big party with no restrictions.
“Plus, with all the weddings that have been cancelled because of the pandemic, there’s going to be a massive backlog and I wouldn’t want to get in the way of all of them. Let them all go first!"
Denise and Eddie have been together for seven years. Denise has nine-year-old daughter Betsy, from her first marriage to musical theatre performer Lee Mead, while Eddie has two children from a previous relationship.
And Denise says the pair already act like an old married couple.
She explained: "We’re like a married couple already. I knew he was The One quite early on, but living together has made it feel even more like that.
"I can count the number of times we’ve argued on one hand. I’d say we’ve had about three barneys in the past seven years."
