Denise Van Outen recalled a rather awkward “dirty knicker” incident at the home of her ex-beau – who is a huge music star.
The actress and singer, 50, shot to fame in the ‘90s – and it’s fair to say Denise has kept busy over the years. From hosting gigs to West End stints, Denise has become a showbiz favourite.
And she’s had a slew of high-profile romances too during her time in the spotlight. Most famously was her relationship with Jay Kay.

Jay Kay had massive success with Jamiroquai, releasing hit tunes like Virtual Insanity, Cosmic Girl and Deeper Underground. During this time he also dated Denise Van Outen for around three years from 1998.

The couple even got engaged with Jay Kay describing Denise as making him laugh, saying he “wouldn’t want anyone else.” However, the pair ended up splitting.
But in her book, A Bit of Me: From Basildon to Broadway and Back, Denise didn’t hold back when it came to sharing the details about their sex life.
According to Denise, for their second date, the pair ended up spending the whole weekend at Jay’s 11-bedroom house. He convinced Denise to stay over at his house before she had to be up at 3am for filming for The Big Breakfast.

But things took an awkward turn when Denise found herself naked and scrambling around looking for her pants in the early hours of the morning.
“When the alarm went off in the middle of the night, it didn’t feel like such a good idea, however, it was too late by then,” she recalled in her autobiography.
“So, sometime after 3am on Monday, I was crawling around Jay’s bedroom floor, rooting around in the dark for my bits and pieces so as not to wake him up.
“It was then that I remembered I’d left my knickers somewhere, but for the life of me, I couldn’t see them. Of course, I knew I had to locate them.”

Denise added: “I mean, I couldn’t leave Jamiroquai’s house knowing I’d left my dirty knickers there, could I?” She went on: “My other concern was that Jay had a great big Alsatian guard dog called Luga at the time, who slept outside his bedroom.
“I was also going to have to get down the stairs without him barking and waking up the whole house. Peering through the gloom out into the hallway, though, Luga appeared to be entirely preoccupied with some sort of toy or something. As long as I could lay my hands on my discarded knickers, I could get past the hound and out of there without too much bother.
“As I moved closer to the landing outside the bedroom, however, it became horribly clear exactly what Luga had gotten so involved in. He had my knickers in his mouth. There he was, snuffling and chewing away at them at the top of the landing.”

Denise then recalled the awkward moment she had to wrestle to dog in a bid to try and retrieve her underwear. She continued: “It culminated with the dog and me in a tug of war on the landing.
“With me pulling on one end of my knickers, and him snarling and pulling at the other. Not the ending I’d imagined to my first romantic weekend with Jay.”
Denise added: “I somehow managed to get them back in the end, but every time I went to Jay’s house after that, Luga always came straight over to me and jammed his nose in my crotch. Then he’d look at me with a face that said: ‘You’re all right! I know you; you’ve been here before.’”
