Denise Van Outen is hoping to take on the charts once more by releasing a charity single.
The performer will make a return to music after almost two decades when she releases On My Own next week.
The track, which drops February 10, will be in aid of the Make A Difference Trust.
Produced by Kylie Minogue producer Steve Anderson, the single is a cover of Les Miserables ballad On My Own.
Talking about the release, Denise said: “This song is what I was going to sing live on Dancing on Ice on musicals week.
“So when I had to drop out of the show due to injury I decided to release my own version to help raise money for theatre professionals who are out of work.

“I want to release this single to not only support the arts, but also celebrate them and highlight how difficult it has been for the industry during the pandemic.”
The starlet added: “Lots of my family and friends work backstage at theatres, so I’ve seen first hand how devastating the last year has been, and how little support they’ve received.
“I recorded my vocals at home in my spare room, and Steve then produced the track.

“Les Miserables is the first ever West End musical I performed in when I was just 11 years old, so this song has always been very special to me.”
Denise, 46, was forced to drop out of Dancing On Ice after shattering her shoulder in three places earlier this week.
An MRI scan on Tuesday confirmed she had multiple fractures after hitting the ice hard during training.

Initially keen to carry on, Denise skated through the pain for week one but was left in agony.
Taking to Instagram, the starlet confirmed she was no longer able to carry on with the competition.
Her skating partner Matt Evers will still continue but only in group performances.
The blonde babe wrote: “GUTTED! If you’ve been watching @dancingonice you will be aware that just over a week ago I had a nasty fall and injured my shoulder.
“I managed to skate my first dance with @themattevers on the live show through a gritted smile because the pain was unbearable.
“I’ve tried as hard as I can to carry on because I love the show and the amazing team in front and behind the cameras.
“Initially we thought with rest I could make a return to the ice, but a recent MRI scan has shown that I have 3 bone fractures as well as a partial dislocation. OUCH! No wonder I’ve been in agony.”
She added: “I won’t be able to do any lifts, tricks or solo skating on the show due to my injury. I’m going to bail out gracefully with my DOI bling sling.”
