Denise Van Outen: Lee Mead is the most grown-up man I've ever dated

TV presenter reckons 'toyboy' Joseph star could be the one

Denise Van Outen is loved-up with new boyfriend Lee Mead.

Despite being 7 years older than the young actor, she reckons they have plenty in common.

‘Lee is the most grown-up man I have been out with,’ says Denise.

‘I have dated some cocky men and they're nothing but trouble. Now I want a bit of stability in my life.’

Denise, 33, and Lee, 26, fell in love after both appearing on BBC talent contest Any Dream Will Do. Lee was the winning contestant and Denise was one of the judges.

Despite her strong feelings, she feels it's way to soon to talk about marriage.

‘We've only been dating four months,’ she tells The People. ‘It's very early days.’

Lee was previously in a 3-year relationship with dancer Kerry Stammers, 25, while Denise had been seeing actor James Lance, 32.
