Denise Van Outen 'absolutely smitten' as she shows off new boyfriend at Glastonbury

Denise Van Outen attended Glastonbury with a very special person, according to reports. She was spotted walking through the iconic music festival with her rumoured new boyfriend following her recent heartbreak.

The DJ and TV star, 51, divorced Any Dream Will Do winner Lee Mead, with whom she has daughter Betsy, ten years ago. She then went on to date trader Eddie Boxshall and Italian property businessman Jimmy Barber, whom she split from in November last year after 18 months together.

Denise admitted to having the "most hedonistic summer" as a single woman last year, but it seems she is now happily loved up. Having joined celebrity dating app Raya and even taken up golf in an effort to find a man,Denise's work looks like it has paid off.

The former Big Breakfast host surprised fans at Glastonbury with a secret DJ set and was spotted with businessman Adam Butler in the VIP area where she appeared "smitten".

“She was holding hands with Adam and they looked like a couple of loved up teenagers," a source told the Sun, who also saw photos of the pair together. “Denise was smiling and laughing at his jokes and he was taking real care of her, making sure that other boozy revellers didn’t crash into their path.

“It’s great to see her looking so happy.” Last month, Denise told the Mirror how she saw golf as a better option compared to dating sites and boozy nights out to find a new partner.

“The reason I got into it - this is the truth - it was after my divorce, and I wanted to go somewhere where there are just loads of men,” she told us. “I just went ‘Where can I go?’ - I remember being with my friend.

"Because when you’re young, you just go to a nightclub. And I was like ‘I’m not going to be able to do that now, and I just don’t want to spend all night in the nightclub’.

"I was like ‘Where have all the nightclubbers gone?’ And I looked, and most of my male friends have grown up and got into golf. I thought ‘Perfect’.”

Following her split from Jimmy, Denise told the Mirror: “This summer has probably been the most sort of hedonistic summer I’ve had since the 90s. I’ve had a lot of fun a lot of going out lot of drinking rosé wine in the summer and enjoying myself. But I’m good at knowing when to stop.”

She previously opened up on how she was exploring new romantic possibilities after joining the celebrity dating app Raya. Denise said: “I did connect with one massive Hollywood star.

"We had a little bit of the chat, but I don’t live in LA, so I thought, he’s not going to come to ­Chelmsford. I loved it [Raya]. I’ve made some friends. I go on dates. I’m not an angel. I’m out having a good time."

The Mirror has contacted Denise's representative for comment.
