Denise Van Outen ‘loves and trusts’ new Gogglebox co-star Duncan James

OHMYGOSSIP — Denise Van Outen has declared she “loves and trusts” her new ‘Celebrity Gogglebox’ co-star Duncan James, in an apparent swipe at her ex Eddie Boxshall.
The TV regular used to sit beside Eddie on the sofa for the Channel 4 series but they split in January, and she’s now drafted in Blue singer Duncan to replace him for the new series, which starts on Friday night (10.06.22).
Denise admitted she wanted to have someone loyal and loving beside her when filming the show, telling The Sun newspaper: “The big thing is we trust each other. I trust him and we respect each other as friends … He’s been a great support over the past few months, when I’ve really needed him.”
Denise and Eddie parted ways earlier this year after she accused him of texting other women behind her back.
After Denise and Eddie ended their relationship, she was adamant she wanted to continue on ‘Celebrity Gogglebox’ but needed to find the right wing man.
She added: “All the ongoing conversations were that they (Channel 4) very much wanted me to still be involved in ‘Gogglebox’.
“But it was about finding the right partnership. I really wanted it to be authentic, and I had said that to them.
“Obviously I’ve known Duncan for years … it just felt natural, really … Duncan and I just felt like the perfect fit.”
Duncan added of Denise: “Trust me, there’s not many in this industry who I’ve met, over my 20 years, that I actually really trust or I could pick up the phone to as a real friend … to say that you’ve got a genuine mate, for me that’s far and few.
“Denise is one of those people to me. I know I can trust her and that’s one of the most important things, plus she knows she can trust me.”
Denise has been part of the celebrity version of the show since 2019. It returns on Friday night with Denise and Duncan appearing alongside Nick Grimshaw and his niece Liv; Rylan Clark with his mum Linda; and Happy Mondays stars Shaun Ryder and Bez.
