“So it’s a joint decision. There is no proposal. We’re doing it the modern way. We’re in our forties, I’ve been married before.

“For a lot of women the dream is the big rock on the finger. I’m the opposite of that. I just want the commitment between two people.

“I don’t need to wear a diamond ring to feel that someone loves me. I said to him we’ll get bands when we marry. It won’t be a massive, lavish wedding.”

Denise, from Essex, has ruled out more kids too, adding: “Two or three years ago we did talk about trying to have children.

“But it never happened and I don’t have any regrets.”

Denise, who was married to actor Lee Mead, 39, also spoke about feeling more body confident now than she did 20 years ago.

She said: “I try to embrace my femininity, it’s fun. In another ten years I won’t be doing photoshoots, so I’m making the most of it now.

“Looking good has become more of a focus because as I am older, I do like to get dressed up and glam.

“I host a burlesque cabaret show in London. When you are surrounded by all these young, beautiful women, it inspires you to keep yourself looking good.

“I don’t do it because I feel pressure, I do it because it makes me feel better.

“I’ve been with Eddie seven years and I still want to look nice for him. It’s very easy in lockdown to live in Ugg boots and tracksuits every day.”
