DENISE Van Outen’s ex-boyfriend Eddie Boxshall will be kicking himself when he sees her latest career move.
I can reveal the actress has landed her first film role since their split and will be playing a sexy nurse.
Keen to show her cheating ex what he lost, Denise will take on the part in Adam Deacon’s new project Sumotherhood.
And in a major boost to her career, the former Big Breakfast host will star alongside music superstar Ed Sheeran.
A source said: “Denise has made sure she’s keeping busy since the split and is totally focused on the future.
“It’s been a tough few weeks but this role is just what she needs.
“Denise loves dressing up and being provocative, so in many ways it is the perfect role for her.”
The British action comedy will also star Jennifer Saunders, Peter Serafinowicz and Danny Sapani. Other famous faces set to feature include model Leomie Anderson, comedians Kevin Bishop and London Hughes and recent Masked Singer contestant Jaime Winstone.
It has been written by Adam and marks the director’s return to filmmaking, more than a decade after his debut on Anuvahood.
The film has already started shooting in East London and is expected to end in March, although plot details are being kept under wraps.
I told last month how Denise was left devastated after discovering her partner of seven years had been playing away behind her back.
Not only was he swapping filthy messages with women online but he was also meeting one woman for secret dates.
Despite him begging for her back, Denise kicked Eddie out of their home and hasn’t looked back.
It’s thought that while Eddie has been dropped by Celebrity Gogglebox, Channel 4 bosses want Denise to be on the show with a new friend.
I’m a big fan of Denise so it’s great to see her back on her feet.
Lizzo foxed by fame
LIZZO struggled with her fame after rocketing to stardom in 2019.
The Good As Hell singer said: “I don’t want to seem ungrateful. It was sad, and I had to talk to my therapist about the loss of who I was.
“Most famous people have been famous just as long as they’ve been a person, so they have acclimated more to it.
“I was going into dive bars and getting s**t- faced in 2018. And nobody knew who I was, and nobody was bothering me. By 2019, I noticed I couldn’t go to restaurants with my dancers and stuff.”
She told Variety: “It bummed me out, you do lose a sense of your privacy and yourself, the old self.
“I’m good with it now. I’m young, I’m talented. I deserve the attention.”
Kanye hear Kim’s speech?
KANYE West seems to be actively trolling Kim Karadashian about their former romance.
The rapper, who last week claimed he was trying to win her back, has used a snippet of a speech she gave praising him, on his new album Donda 2.
He played it at his Miami listening party, which was plagued by sound issues on Tuesday. Kanye sampled the monologue she gave in October on US show Saturday Night Live, during which she met now-boyfriend Pete Davidson, who Kanye has taken a dislike to.
It is featured as the intro to the album, with Kim saying: “I married the best rapper of all time. Not only that, he’s the richest black man in America. A talented, legit genius who gave me four incredible kids.”
However, he omitted the next line from the original, in which she added: “When I divorced him, you have to know it came down to just one thing, his personality.”
The majority of the crowd at LoanDepot Park could not hear his show because of the problems with sound.
This led to Kanye having a strop on the stage and chucking his microphone into a pool of water. As if he hasn’t caused enough controversy, he also brought out alleged sex offender Marilyn Manson.
That said, if he was using all this to promote Donda 2, he ought to have released it.
It was due out on Tuesday, exclusively on his own pricey Stem Player streaming gadget, but it never materialised.
Flo: My tough choice
BEING a woman in the music business means dealing with issues men don’t have to face, says singer Florence Welch.
Her band Florence And The Machine yesterday released King, the first single, from their as-yet untitled fifth album, and she spoke about her feelings after premiering the video.
Florence explained: “As an artist, I never actually thought about my gender that much. I just got on with it.
“I was as good as the men and I just went out there and matched them every time.
“But now, thinking about being a woman in my thirties and the future, I suddenly feel this tearing of my identity and my desires.
“To be a performer but also to want a family might not be as simple for me as it is for my male counterparts.
“I had modelled myself almost exclusively on male performers.
“And for the first time I felt a wall come down between me and my idols, as I have to make decisions they did not.”
Purple patch for Ash
THE Real Dirty Dancing presenter Ashley Roberts looked ready for a spin on the dancefloor herself in this frock.
The ex-Pussycat Dolls singer wore a purple wrap-around dress for a night out in London.
She has been joined by Keith Lemon to host the E4 series, in which they take a group of celebrities and make them compete in acting and dance challenges based on scenes from the 1987 film.
Noel goes full Chilt
HE went sober for three months last year after spending part of lockdown boozing on his local Hampshire cider.
But now it seems that Noel Gallagher has finally fallen off the wagon.
The former Oasis rocker was spotted looking in very high spirits with two female pals as he headed to celebrity hotspot Chiltern Firehouse in London on Tuesday night.
Noel was waving his hands in the air as he rocked up at 1am to enjoy a late drink.
I seriously hope he had a bit of food to line his stomach too.
Otherwise, that hangover yesterday could have been painful.
AJ has orange a-peel
THE last time I saw AJ Odudu she had her leg strapped up at the Strictly final after tearing a ligament in her ankle.
But she was back on two feet after her injury on the show – and looked pleased as punch to be out, posing in this strapless orange mini-dress and heels.
The TV presenter hosted the Beauty Awards in London on Tuesday night and certainly looked the part after ditching her orthopaedic boot.
Unfortunately for her, conversation on the night probably wasn’t too riveting given the venue was packed with Love Islanders.
Last year’s show winners Millie Court and Liam Reardon were there, as was 2019’s victor Amber Gill and a host of other faces from the villa.
With another series on the horizon, there will be even more of them to keep up with before long.
Doja Cat's Freaky Friday
DOJA Cat is aiming for yet another hit single by teaming up with rapper Tyga.
I can reveal they have collaborated on a racy single called Freaky Deaky, which features a host of raunchy lyrics.
My music insider said: “Freaky Deaky is out on Friday and it’s just as wild as you’d expect from them, given they are two of the world’s crudest rappers. It’s not quite on the same level as CARDI B’s Wap, but it’s not far off.”
This will be the second time the pair have collaborated as they previously worked together on single Juicy, from Doja’s second studio album Hot Pink, in 2019.
Taking to Twitter, the American rapper lived up to her naughty reputation by admitting she is considering a question-able side project.
Doja tweeted: “What if I peed on myself for money, just think about that.”
I’m not sure that’s the best idea, Doja. And given the year she has had, she certainly won’t be strapped for cash.
