Denise Van Outen recently quit her breakfast show job to improve her quality of life - and as she relaxed in the sun today it certainly seemed to be working. The presenter looked at least a decade younger than her 34 years as she showed off her flawless figure in a baby blue bikini on a yacht in Majorca. She has swapped the early mornings of the Capital FM show for relaxed afternoons sipping glasses of chilled rosé wine and sunbathing.
Ahoy there! Denise Van Outen shows off her incredible bikini body onboard a yacht in Majorca yesterday Action girl Denise showed she's more than just a pretty face, taking the helm of a motorised dingy as she and a friend headed out to the boat. Then after a quick dip to cool off in the sea, she took a call on her mobile phone. Perhaps it was her boyfriend Lee Mead, who at 27 is eight years younger than Denise. He was unable to join Denise because of his work commitments in the West End. Mead is currently starring in Joseph And His Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
What a beauty: She swapped the early morning starts for afternoons in the sun Denise has said that she left her job at Capital FM in order to spend more time with the Any Dream Will Do winner, whom she met when she was a judge on the show. ‘I left because I was getting stressed. I wasn't sleeping properly and it was affecting my personal life,' she said in an exclusive interview with the Mail. ‘My relationship with Lee wasn't under strain, but it wasn't being allowed to grow. We'd courted and we wanted to move on. But you can't do that if you've never got time to see each other.
Shall we have a glass of wine? Denise cooled down with a dip in the sea Denise was reunited with her former Big Breakfast host Johnny Vaughan in February in a bid to boost the 42-year-old's flagging ratings. But their on-screen chemistry did not translate to the airwaves and failed to win new listeners at Capital. Model Lisa Snowdon is now to replace her.
Catching the rays: Denise soaked up the late summer sun Denise recently revealed why having a relationship with a man aged in his twenties was right for her. She said: 'Personally... a man in his twenties works for me. 'In my experience, single men in their mid to late thirties tend to be single for a reason. The good ones get snapped up.' Before she started dating Mead last November, Denise was engaged to Jamiroquai frontman Jason Kay until 2001 and also dated Andy Miller, guitarist with Nineties indie band Dodgy
