Celebrity Gogglebox favourites Denise Van Outen and Eddie Boxshall have split up.
The 47-year-old television beauty has taken to social media to confirm she’s no longer in a relationship.
Sharing a sombre black and white snap of herself walking her dogs on the beach, Denise penned: “Over the past couple of months, there has been much speculation regarding my relationship with Eddie.
“It saddens me to confirm that we are no longer a couple. I had to make the difficult decision not to continue in our relationship.
“I will always treasure the good times we spent together, and the memories made.

“We ask that you please respect our privacy at this time, especially for our children.”
It comes after The Sun reported that Denise caught Eddie, 47, having phone sex and dates with other women.
A source told the publication: “Denise is both furiously angry and utterly heartbroken. It’s the very last thing she expected to happen after she had been so happy with Eddie.

“She thought this was for ever. But while she has been out at work he’s been sat in her home betraying her trust.”
The pair started dating back in July 2014 when they were introduced to each other by a mutual friend.
At the time the Daily Mirror reported that Denise’s pals described her now ex-fiancé as: “charming, genuine and a really lovely guy”.
Boxshall was Denise’s first boyfriend since she split from husband Lee Mead in 2013. Lee is the father of Denise’s daughter Betsy.

It has been reported that Boxshall has children of his own from a previous relationship.
Denise previously told Hello! Magazine: “After this dreadful lockdown ends, there will be wedding bells.”
She also revealed that her daughter was excited for the wedding too: “Betsy is desperate for us to get married. She tells us that all the time.
“We want to do it, too, surrounded by all our family and friends.”

Denise and her beau were very open about their private life together, and in 2018 while appearing on Loose Women she boasted: “We’ve got a very healthy sex life – we don’t have to [masturbate].”
They moved in after five years as a couple in 2019.
Essex-based Boxshall works as a commodities trader who specialises in the oil business. But was dismissed from his job with SCB & Associates for “gross misconduct and material dishonesty”, The Sun reported.
Eddie was accused of sending “hundreds” of emails containing the company’s clients’ details to his private email account but denied the claims.
