Denise Van Outen has revealed how she kept her first dates with her new boyfriend Jimmy Barba a secret, a year after her heartbreaking split from her cheating ex fiance Eddie Boxshall.

Pals of the Celebrity Gogglebox star, 48, have said the presenter has fallen “hard and fast” for Jimmy and now she has told all about the first few weeks of their whirlwind romance.

The mum-of-one and the property developer told how she had to stay inside for most of her first dates with Jimmy because they “wanted to get to know each other out of the public eye”.

Speaking on Steph’s Packed Lunch on Channel 4, Denise said: “So when we went on our very first date it was like we’d been let loose, we went crazy.”
