Denise Van Outen: breakfast with Johnny was frosty

Denise Van Outen's reunion with Johnny Vaughan on the Capital Radio breakfast show turned out to be a less than entirely happy one, coming to an end after just six months. And today Van Outen revealed just how unhappy her short-lived stint had been on the London station. "I haven't seen Johnny for a while, since I left the breakfast show," she told BBC Radio 5 Live's Richard Bacon. "At that time it was quite a difficult situation. It wasn't a comfortable environment to be in." She then went on to describe exactly how uncomfortable she found it. "I think he wasn't happy that I joined in the first place. He made it quite clear. I think at the time in his defence he was used to doing the show on his own. I felt a little bit uncomfortable being there and of course now the show has changed completely with Lisa [Snowdon] who I think is absolutely lovely and great and it works brilliantly." DVO added: "I think it was taking him time to get used to the fact that somebody else was in the mix and it wasn't just him. We haven't spoken since." Maybe they should bury the hatchet and share a reunion meal. A big breakfast maybe?
