DENISE van Outen has moved on with a new man after dumping her ex Eddie Boxshall.
Denise, 48, was with commodities trader Eddie Boxshall since 2014 but they split in January when he admitted messaging other women.
The TV star is reportedly is "happy" after starting to see property developer, Jimmy, according to the Daily Mail.
"It's early days but everything is going really well and Denise is happy," a source told the Mail.
The pair have "been on a few dates" after All Saints singer Shaznay Lewis introduced them.

He joins Denise on the Channel 4 show which returned recently — after six of the worst months of her life, during which Duncan had been a constant support.

But for Duncan, 44, one quarter of boyband Blue since 2001 and more recently a star of C4 soap Hollyoaks, the feeling is mutual.
