Denise Van Outen
After displaying an early talent for performing, Denise Van Outen began appearing in small roles in a number of British television dramas, including "Kappatoo" and "The Bill." By the mid-90s, however, Van Outen had put her acting career on hiatus and began what would prove to be a long career as a television host. Her big break came in 1997 when she landed a role as co-presenter, alongside Johnny Vaughan, on the weekday morning talk show, "The Big Breakfast." Van Outen's bubbly personality mixed well with Vaughan's lacerating wit, and the ratings for the show soared. In 2001 Van Outen left "The Big Breakfast ," but continued working as a presenter for British TV throughout the early 2000s. In 2004 she briefly tried to resurrect her on-screen relationship with Vaughan, serving as his co-presenter on the family show, "Johnny & Denise: Passport to Paradise." However, that show failed to capture an audience and was quickly cancelled. In 2011 Van Outen turned to voiceover work and began narrating the British reality series, "The Only Way Is Essex," which is modeled after American reality shows like "The Hills "and "Jersey Shore." When she's not hosting, Van Outen still finds time to return to her first love, acting. In 2010 she played the role of beauty salon hair stylist Paulette Bunafonte in the West End production of "Legally Blonde."
