Denise Van Outen's brave face after reports Peter Crouch is supporting 'cheating' ex

Denise Van Outen is all smiles despite her recent relationship turmoil.

The popular presenter, 48, cut a happy figure on Monday morning, as she arrived at the Steph's Packed Lunch studios in Leeds for one of her regular cameos on the Channel 4 show.

Denise's cheery wave to the camera comes just hours after it was reported that her 'cheating' ex Eddie Boxshall is being comforted by former footballer Peter Crouch.

Dressed in striking yellow trousers and a polka dot blouse, the mum-of-one flashed a big smile as she made her way into the television studio amid the latest reports regarding her love life.

Earlier this month, Denise announced her romance with Eddie was over, after her partner of seven years was exposed for allegedly engaging in phone sex and for arranging secret dates with other women.

It's since been reported that ex Eddie has been seeking the help of ex-England striker Peter, 40, and is "desperate" to win Denise back.

"Peter doesn’t condone his actions. He’s tried to help but he’s made it clear that he doesn’t want to get involved in matters between Eddie and Denise," a source told The Sun.

On Monday, Denise didn't appear troubled by any matters from her personal life - as she looking stunning in her super chic ensemble.

The Celebrity Gogglebox star teamed her stylish top and trousers with a pair of chunky platform boots and a fluffy coat ahead of her TV appearance.

Denise confirmed her split from Eddie on January 7, after weeks of speculation surrounding the state of their relationship.

Writing on Instagram, the star said: "Over the past couple of months, there has been much speculation regarding my relationship with Eddie.

"It saddens me to confirm that we are no longer a couple. I had to make the difficult decision not to continue in our relationship.

"I will always treasure the good times we spent together, and the memories made."

She added: "We ask that you please respect our privacy at this time, especially for our children" followed by a heart emoji.

Speaking in an interview shortly before the split was announced, Denise had revealed the pair were in no rush to tie the knot, despite being engaged.

"We’ve not really been focusing on organising a wedding because we’ve been trying to get the house finished and get final things done, like a new patio," she explained to The Mirror.

"Besides, you can’t plan for anything at the moment so there’s no rush to do anything.

"Young people plan weddings because they want to crack on and start a family but that’s not going to happen. It’s not like we are having any more children."

Denise was previously married to singer and actor Lee Mead, 40 - with whom she shares 11-year-old daughter Betsy with - but the pair split back in 2013.

The star was also previously engaged to Jamiroquai singer Jay Kay, 52 – with the Space Cowboy singer popping the question in after initially beginning dating in 1998, but they split in 2001 before the pair ever walked down the aisle together.
