Episode notes
The one and only Denise Van Outen joins the Wright at Home podcast for a "no-filter" trip down memory lane that is equal parts glamour and total chaos. From the "temporary" tattoo that’s still going strong at 52 to the night she was stranded at a service station eating her mum’s Mother’s Day macaroons, Denise is sharing the hilarious, behind-the-scenes stories you won't hear anywhere else. She even reveals the surreal reality of being in the studio when Tupac was shot and why she found herself giving the finger to a CCTV camera in the middle of the night.
In this first installment, we trace her incredible journey from being a two-time "Rear of the Year" and a trucker’s favourite to a genuine Broadway Queen. Denise gets candid about being "canceled" in the 90s, her legendary run in Chicago, and why she’s finally ditched the "people-pleasing" to live life on her own terms. It’s a hilarious, honest look at fame, grit, and why she’ll always be the most relatable girl from Essex.
