Denise Van Outen’s ex boyfriend Eddie Boxshall is “happier than ever”, as he went official with his new girlfriend.
Boxshall, 50, uploaded a pic to his Instagram looking loved up with his new beau, a blonde bombshell who looks similar to Eddie’s ex-lover.
Denise chose to end her seven-year relationship with the former Celebrity Gogglebox star in January 2022 after it emerged he had been messaging other women whilst they were together.

But since then, commodities trader Eddie has found love with his new mysterious girlfriend.
Denise has also managed to bag herself a new beau, and is now in a relationship with Jimmy Barba.

Captioning the pic, Eddie wrote: “Bank holiday,” with hashtags including “#shhhhthereyougo”, “#idontdohating” and “#thankstothenicepeople”.
Fans, however, were quick to point out the resemblance to Denise in the comments section of the new pic, with one asking: “Anyone going to state the obvious?”
Eddie was quick to respond to the comment, clapping back “Yeah, I’m the happiest I’ve ever been… well spotted!”
Others just could not help but point out the similarity between the two, suggesting Eddie has a type for vivacious blondes.
One user took to the comments to write: “Great pic you and Denise.”
A second fan could not tell the difference between the two and asked: “Is that Denise? Don’t shoot me down, just no idea.”

Eddie spoke out about the breakup late last year, saying that it had affected him deeply.
He added that he was focusing on trying to better himself, adding that exercise was the main method.
Denise has moved with new Italian toy-boy Jimmy after going official with him at the Grand Prix Ball last July.
Since then, the pair have been inseparable, after jetting off to Marbella for their first holiday as a couple.
Van Outen was hesitant to go public with Jimmy, instead opting to stay in and talk to each other for hours on end.

But friends of the actress think he could be the one, with the potential for him to pop the question later this year.
Speaking to MailOnline, an insider said that it would not come as a shock if the pair got engaged soon.
“She’s been friends with him for a long, long time – but it’s developed into something really special,” the source said.

Jimmy already has had a brush with the limelight, being a close friend to actor and Blue singer Duncan James, who is one of Denise’s best friends.
He also has worked as a professional dancer.
His first taste of fame came when he competed in the Italian version of Big Brother in 2010, where he finished in fourth place.
Denise explained that having been in show business, Jimmy understands the struggle of being in a relationship in the public eye.
“I feel like I’m in good hands at the moment. He’s a nice guy,” she doted.
