Denise Van Outen wants to know when to expect new man so she can 'de-fuzz'
Denise Van Outen appeared on Steph’s Packed Lunch where she was questioned about whether or not she agrees with putting a curfew on your partner.Denise was on the lunchtime show with host Steph McGovern, comedian Dane Baptiste, lawyer Sayeeda Warsi, actress Paula Wilcox and presenter Amanda Lamb.The 47-year-old wore her signature icy blonde locks in loose curls, pinned away from her face and accessorised with big hoop earrings. McGovern asked her guests what they think about putting curfews on their partners, something which Denise said she had “never heard of before”.“I’ve never said: 'You have to be home at a certain time,' unless I’m waiting for them to get home for a very good reason,” she cheekily implied.She admitted that she “likes to prepare herself” and has to “de-fuzz”, which set the audience off in fits of laughter.A shocked Steph laughed at her comment and in mock horror exclaimed that she “thought they were talking about making dinner for when they get back”.Van Outen went on to say that she thinks partners should “have freedom” and “trust the person will come home when they say they will”.One viewer was not impressed with Denise’s quip and tweeted: “Wish Denise would drop the constant Carry-On double entendres for five minutes.
