A Bit of Me: From Basildon to Broadway, and back

Denise Van Outen

Denise Van Outen, original 90s ‘ladette’, West End star and primetime TV favourite, reveals for the first time in this refreshingly candid memoir that it’s been a story of grit and graft beneath the famous Essex sparkle

In this refreshingly candid memoir, Denise speaks openly and sensitively about her rollercoaster career, her struggles in a past high-profile relationship and the betrayal she suffered at the hands of those once closest to her, with the hope that in doing so, she can help empower others to avoid and overcome any similar difficulties they may face.

Denise shot to fame on The Big Breakfast in her early twenties. After a decade grafting through theatre jobs and children’s TV shows, she was finally living the dream. However her life soon turned into a nightmare off-screen and behind the headlines as her heart was broken in a very public relationship, whilst her every move was printed in the tabloids thanks to her phone being tapped. After receiving a panning by the critics for her late night TV show aimed at the post-pub crowd, she then auditioned for and accepted an offer to play Roxie Hart in Chicago, which turned out to be a life-changing experience. The role took her to Broadway, where she caught the eye of one Andrew Lloyd Webber, eventually landing a judging role on Any Dream Will Do, which saw her rise back to primetime and the career that she loves, where she has stayed and flourished.
