Denise Van Outen set for Eastenders cameo

Denise Van Outen will make a cameo appearance in Eastenders this year.

Soap bosses say the TV presenter is poised to send "sparks flying" in Albert Square but they remained tight lipped over what character she will play.

But it was revealed she will waste no time in getting close to one of Walford's men.

Van Outen, who is best known for presenting Big Breakfast, said: "I'm really excited to be joining EastEnders as I've been a fan of the series for years.

"2015 marks the show's 30th anniversary, so it feels even more special to be part of this year's celebration."

The soap's executive producer, Dominic Treadwell-Collins, added: "It was only a matter of time before Denise Van Outen walked onto the Square.

"We cannot wait to have Denise join us for a few episodes, where she will definitely make her presence felt."
