Strictly Come Dancing Star Ends Four Year Marriage

Denise Van Outen has reportedly ended her four year marriage with West End star Lee Mead.

According to the Sun, the celebrity couple have fallen out of love but will remain close friends. 

The Strictly Come Dancing star denied rumours of their relationship troubles back in May, even hinting at having another baby. 

Denise however has previously described their relationship as being "like passing ships in the night" because of their incredibly busy work lives.

"To be honest, it is really difficult," she told Now magazine.

"We just haven't seen each other. I started on Strictly in September and we've been like passing ships in the night. I'm not going to lie, it's been a massive strain on the relationship." 

Denise and Lee met back in 2007 when he was a contestant on the BBC’s show Any Dream Will Do where Denise was a judge.

Denise, 39, and Lee, 32, have a three-year old daughter Betsy together.
