“Our paths are always crossing through work, so it just made sense that we’d do it together and he’s very pleasing to the eye, he’s nice to look at on my sofa.
“And I love seeing all the other pairings – I absolutely love Rylan and his mum, I think they’re hilarious and Bez and Shaun are so funny.
“I just think it’s really good, it’s one of them where you can just sit and enjoy and you know you’re going to have a laugh, they people are very funny on it.”

But Denise – who has teamed up with GoStudent, an online service to help tutor students – has admitted that there are some things she wish wasn’t aired.
She said: “There are always things that we say because you always forget that the cameras are there and sometimes you say things and afterwards you think…’oh I shouldn’t have said that or I hope they don’t put it in’.
“But we’ve been lucky so far.
“We literally sit and binge wants loads of TV, the crew are outside and you feel like your on your own and the cameras are tiny, so you don’t feel like you’re being filmed.
“I feels that you’re just watching TV and because you watch so much telly, you forget the cameras are there.”
Denise added: “I think the thing that we all love and I’m sure anyone involved in the celebrity one will all say it’s lovely when they bring you a basket of treats.
“You can eat popcorn and hang out and have a nice time.”
Denise has a busy life juggling her successful TV career, motherhood and her blossoming new romance.
But the star said she always has time to help her daughter Betsy, who she shares with her actor ex-husband Lee Mead, get a head start in the school term.
Denise – who is mum to 12-year-old Betsy with her actor ex-husband Lee Mead – praised the GoStudent service for helping her daughter.
Denise said: “For kids learning online, it’s familiar to them because of lockdown – you get the 1:1, there are no distractions and all the things she struggled with in school, like History and French, I suggested she do some online sessions and she loved it.
“It’s preperatation and also extra support – you can go to the best school in country but if you have a child like mine, who finds it hard to concertrate with noise or other people learning at a different pace, then this is the solution.
“It’s very rare that your child will come out of a class and ask to do it again but she does with this.”
