Denise Van Outen looks set to be joined by Duncan James on Celebrity Gogglebox
The Blue singer will sit on the sofa next to the former ‘Big Breakfast’ host on the star-studded edition of the Channel 4 show, following the end of the 47-year-old actress' seven-year relationship with Eddie.
An insider told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre TV column: “Denise and Duncan have been pals since they both shot to fame in the late Nineties and he has been helping her through her painful break-up this year.
“As bezzies who share a similarly outrageous sense of humour, they have the perfect chemistry to deliver some laughs as they survey TV shows.
“Just a few months ago they were performing together at [London night spot] Proud Cabaret. She was wearing a mini dress while he donned a leather corset and fishnet stockings, though they’ll probably be wearing something a little more comfortable when they share the 'Gogglebox' sofa.”
In March, the ‘Run for Your Wife’ star broke her silence about why she ended things with her 48-year-old ex, and explained how “proud” she was of herself for ditching Eddie in January.
Denise - who has 12-year-old daughter Betsy with her ex Lee Mead - said: “The one thing I'm really proud of myself for is I do know when to walk away and I don't like to be taken advantage of.
"I've always tried to maintain that in anything that I do in life, generally. More so now as a mother because I feel like I'm a role model and I've got to set an example.
"The bad times are always followed by good times and that's what I always look forward to.
“I think you just ride the wave of the bad times knowing that eventually you will get to a good place.”
