Last word with Denise Van Outen
TV presenter and actress Denise, 37, is married to West End star Lee Mead. They live in London with their one-year-old daughter, Betsy...
My most vivid childhood memory is…
Having appendicitis when I was seven. I remember being in school with an excruciating stomach ache. The teacher thought I was playing up at first but my appendix had burst and I was rushed to hospital. My mum was not happy with her.
My secret talent is…
Playing the spoons! My parents are from the East End and I just picked it up. I can play old songs like The Lambeth Walk and Roll Out The Barrel – I remember my grandparents singing them when I was little.
A possession I treasure is…
I still cling on to the Filofax I’ve had for years. It’s so 80s I know, but it is stuffed with old addresses, photos and memories. I’ve had it so long it feels like a part of me.
As a child I wanted to be…
A performer – I was born a show-off. I went to the local ballet school. Gradually, I realised that acting and dancing were what I loved most.
The advice I’d give my 16-year- old self is…
Wearing hot pants that ride up your bottom is not a good look! I now realise it’s far more attractive to cover up. I want to tell teenage girls, “The right boy will like you for yourself, so put it away!”
