BBC soap EastEnders could be about to receive an injection of glamour with the arrival of Denise Van Outen as the new boss of the Queen Vic pub. The Daily Mirror reports that the 38-year-old, who made her mark with a raunchy performance as Roxie Hart in the West End production of Chicago, has been in secret talks to jon the show. Producers are apparently desperate to inject some "flirtiness and spice" into the show, with one source describing Van Outen as "a new, young and fresh Peggy Mitchell". Van Outen the new Babs Windsor – was that a compliment?
