Denise Van Outen’s ex throws dig at her book as he gives ‘tips’ on how to sell it

Denise Van Outen 's ex-partner Eddie Boxshall thew a jibe at her autobiography and gave 'tips' on how to sell it.

The TV star split up with her ex in January after she discovered he had been sending x-rated messages to other women behind her back.

In her tell-all book, A Bit Of Me: From Basildon To Broadway And Back, Denise details the breakdown in the couple's relationship as well other writing about other aspects of her life.

Taking aim at the book, Eddie took to his social media to share a cover of a book cover that read: "How your book sells itself... 10 ways your book is your ultimate marketing tool."

He captioned the post: "First way of 10: By being really interesting read and not needing any PR!!"

It comes as Denise has been promoting her book, which came out this week.

She even recently revealed that her cheating ex previously took her phone in order to block a woman he had been sexting.

The 47-year-old had opened up about how she tried to reach out to a woman who shared "sexual" conversations with Eddie, but her Instagram account had been blocked when she searched for her.

The Gogglebox star was left puzzled as she had not blocked the woman.

"I quickly found the woman's profile by her screen name, only to discover I'd previously blocked her on my Instagram account - which struck me as odd," Denise penned in her new book.

Mum-of-one Denise continued: "This was a woman I didn't know, who'd clearly had an online connection with my boyfriend.

"Why would I have blocked her from my Instagram account.

"Straight away, I unblocked her and sent her a message saying how she knew Eddie.

"She suggested that Eddie had probably gone into my phone and blocked her so she couldn't message me."

Denise then details Eddie's conversations with 'Tracy' - who he eventually ghosted.

The star added in her book: "Her name was Tracy and she has apparently spoken to Eddie over FaceTime and text for a long period - often from our home and sometimes from my flat in Hampstead, which she seemed to think was his.

"They'd never met in person, but she said the conversations had become sexual in nature reasonably quickly - some of the stuff I found on the phone seemed to support that.

"However she was upset with Eddie because he'd apparently ghosted her."
