Denise Van Outen weds her technicolour dreamboat in secret Seychelles ceremony

Friends were beginning to fear Denise Van Outen’s long-cherished wish to settle down and start a family might never come true.
But yesterday she stunned them all by marrying musical star Lee Mead on a beach in the Seychelles.
The couple met when Denise, 35, was a judge on BBC1’s Any Dream Will Do talent show, which 27-year-old Lee won, landing the lead role in the musical Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
Last night a friend said: ‘Denise went away last weekend telling people she was simply going on holiday.
'It was literally just her parents, his parents and a couple of her best pals.’

Wearing an strapless white dress, her hair tied back with a Seventies-style band, Denise could scarcely contain her joy during the ceremony – held in full view of other guests at the Labriz Silhouette luxury resort.

Afterwards the happy couple were seen kissing on a boat.
The pair stayed for ten nights in the two-storey Presidential villa at a cost of £12,000. It is the most expensive room in the hotel and has its own pool.
The simple ceremony marked the end of her much-troubled search for the right man. Despite once being labelled a ‘ladette’, Denise has described herself as ‘a traditional girl at heart’.
She said: ‘I come from a big family, my parents are still together and I’m so girly, I dream of the white wedding and the big dress.’
Her longest relationship was with the singer Jay Kay of Jamiroquai, to whom she was engaged. They split up in 2001 and Denise later dated nightclub owner Richard Traviss.

Then she enjoyed a short romance with old flame James Lance, who was a fellow Sylvia Young stage school student.

She and Lee say they started dating in November 2007, although his ex-girlfriend Kerry Stammers has claimed their relationship was kept secret for months.
Lee previously said: ‘Denise and I clicked instantly. We had the same sense of humour, but also we could be silent with each other.
‘I knew at once it was right. She is very down to earth.’


I hope they will be as happy as they seem to be now.
