Denise Van OutenDenise van Outen has suggested she’d love to marry boyfriend Lee Mead.

The pair met last year while making the BBC talent show Any Dream Will Do, which was landed contest winner Lee the lead role in the West End show Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, but didn’t get together until after Lee finished with long-term girlfriend Kerry late last year and Denise was dumped by boyfriend James Lance.

She told the People newspaper recently though that her four month relationship with the “perfect gent” is going from strength to strength and she hopes they have a long future together: “Lee is the most grown-up man I have been out with.”

“I have dated some cocky men and they’re nothing but trouble. Now I want a bit of stability in my life.”

“I’d love to get married.”

But she concedes that it’s still too early to be planning wedding arrangements: “We’ve only been dating four months. It’s very early days.”
